Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Steve Carney The Greenskeeper is one of those films that you know will be bad before watching. Still, when nothing else is on, the film makes for entertainment to help pass a rainy day. The version I watched was included in a pack of 15 horror movies that I picked up from Wal-mart. IMDb lists the run time as 90 minutes, while the version I saw was only 82. Perhaps there is a European release that contains the extra 8 minutes? The movie was shot at 2 different country clubs in Georgia: Bridgemill Country Club (Canton, GA), and Whitewater Country Club (Fayetteville, GA). Whitewater definitely looks like an old Georgia plantation house from the Civil War era. All the exterior shots that establish the location as the fictional Summerisle Country Club in the movie use footage of Whitewater filmed during the day or at night. I imagine that most the outdoor scenes involving the pool, tennis courts, and golf course were shot at Bridgemill. I could be wrong though. I have worked as a waiter/banquet server at a country club for almost 3 years. Everything in the film makes fun of different classes, including rich vs poor, straight vs gay, and white vs minority, which is something I've seen personally. There are always stereotypes and impressions that you have about many different people when working in an industry like this, and the film does a good job of showing this, even if it does poke fun at all the drama you'd find at a country club. This includes: Latin American sisters working together to earn enough money to support their family back home, snobby yuppie members arguing over whether or not Bert and Ernie are gay, and the spoiled rich girl complaining "Daddy said I could only get the Beamer. I hate being poor," to which her friend remarks: "Yeah Beamers are so last century," just to name a few. I don't want to say that this film is so bad it's good, because it made more than a decent effort to actually have a good story (it's more than just a greenskeeper killing rich kids having sex at a country club). The special effects were impressive, featuring a sprinkler and a lot of fake blood, and the costumes and sets were very accurate for the setting. It wouldn't win any awards, and has probably never aired on television, but The Greenskeeper is without a doubt, a very watchable and entertaining movie. It's got a few suspenseful scenes, reminiscent of Wes Craven's 1984 classic Invitation to Hell, more than a few laugh out loud funny parts, similar to Caddyshack, and the plot borrowed heavily from the 1981 "summer camp slasher" flick The Burning.

ObscureCinema101 It seems like everywhere you turn there's some horror movie that's trying to be a throwback to the golden age of eighties slashers. However, none that I've come across have perfectly captured the magic that can be found within a VHS of something like BLOOD RAGE or ROCKTOBER BLOOD. Some have come close (CLUB DREAD), and others have failed miserably. So which category does THE GREENSKEEPER fall under?Allen is the assistant greens keeper at a lush country club, which his mother and stepfather/ex-uncle own. Some snobby young adults convince him to let them in after the place is closed for a little party. However, someone wearing a greens keeper's outfit begins picking them off in various creative and gruesome ways. Is it Allen, who's had enough with the snobs that tease him? Is it Otis, the head greens keeper who's a little loopy? Or is it Allen's father, back from the dead?The only thing that saved THE SLEEPER from being complete bottom of the barrel trash was the kills, which really brought be back to the methods of murder in classic late twentieth-century slashers. The same almost applies for THE GREENSKEEPER. Most of the kills are reserved for the last half-hour or so, and they are SUPERB. They're gory, funny, and creative, with each utilizing the golf-theme to a tee (pun not intended). Nails are put in one of those automatic tennis ball shooters, tees are forced through someone's forehead, some gets beaten to death with a nine-iron (I think), and you know those golf ball washers? A DIFFERENT kind of balls is put in it. Ouch.However, some of the characters in THE GREENSKEEPER are likable, including Allen, Otis, and even Allen's stoner friend. You get a sense that these are real people and they come across as very likable. The snobs that get in, however, you want to see die immediately. This is where it fails as an eighties throwback. Typically in eighties movies, we follow the group for most of the time. Here, most of the time is spent on Allen, and him getting most of the attention causes the movie to drag a tad.However, I loved the killer's disguise, the ridiculous reveal of the killer (as well as his death), the motive, etc. There are some intentionally funny moments during the first hour or so, but as a whole, it felt very blah before the kills began. It was a bit of a chore to sit through, but the brilliant deaths made up for it.Overall, I liked it. It's nothing special, but it's a decently fun watch if you want to get your slasher kicks. It's far from a perfect slasher, but it's really not that bad as far as entertainment goes.Don't go in expecting a new classic, but you could certainly do worse.

Henrik Jansson (SirEnrique) I don't know if I should laugh or cry when I think about this movie. I don't know if it's supposed to be a comedy or a horror movie. If it's a horror movie - it's as bad as it gets. If it's a comedy - it's as bad as it gets.This is the kind of movie you don't want to spend your money on, but you want to watch it with you friends so you can laugh and/or make comments on how bad everything is. If you like to do that, here's a movie for you. If you're looking for a funny horror movie, keep on searching.The story? A killer dressed as a greenskeeper murder a couple of "teenagers" with different golf tools. That's it. And it isn't funny, scary or thrilling.

ewalker7 The Greenskeeper is an emotionally shattering experience that will undeniably open your eyes to what cinema can TRULY be. It isn't so much the character's usage of booze or crack, but rather, the emotion that the Greenskeeper conveys that truly sets him apart from your standard slasher villain. The subtle, nuanced performance by John Rocker will captivate the viewer and draw you into the mind of a disturbed, misunderstood soul. When the film is finally released to the general public, do not be surprised if you hear Oscar buzz soon building, not only for Rocker, but for the rest of the exceptional cast as well. In particular, the character of Otis Washington is played marvelously by Thomas Merdis, although it fails to match his prior performance in My Cousin Vinny as The Man in Town Square, which I am positive everyone remembers. All in all this film can only be described as brilliant, although if I were to TRULY and ACCURATELY sing it's praises, I would be sitting here typing all night... Don't miss this mindblowing combination of sex, drugs, and Rocker.
