Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe shot where the camera quickly zooms in on the couple was actually done in reverse. A camera was attached to a truck and driven in reverse, starting from the couple until they can't be seen anymore.
- GoofsAs the couple are lying on the ground kissing in the opening scene, they both turn their heads to look when they hear the lawnmower. When the scene cuts to the POV of the mower heading towards them, they're looking in the opposite direction.
- Crazy creditsAfter the closing credits is a scene in which a hedge trimmer starts up on its own, followed by the words: "HEDGES - Just when you thought it was safe to trim".
- Alternate versionsThe German video version (rated 'Not under 16') released in 1989 by UFA Video omits 7 seconds of violence.
- ConnectionsReferenced in Tromeo and Juliet (1996)
Featured review
This movie has exactly what you expect in a B horror movie; bad acting, low budget, and comedic horror that doesn't take itself too seriously. The added bonus on this tale of terror on the golf course is that it mirrors the plot of Jaws almost to a tee (pun intended). What otherwise would be a really, really stupid story becomes merely ludicrous and funny when compared to the plot from which it originates. If you are wanting a B-movie full of fun, poor golf humor, even poorer acting, and a possessed lawn mower, then your prayers have been answered. This movie is quality B shlock horror and should be seen for the cheese factor alone. I wonder if Spielberg knows that one of his greatest works has been brought down to this level...
