This special limited edition embossed slipcover (designed by Earl Kessler Jr.) is limited to 5,000 units and is only available here at VinegarSyndrome.com!

The Tall Grass Country Club offers its members a luxury getaway, with all the best in sport and relaxation. But when a mangled body is discovered on the club’s prized golf course, right before a nationally televised tournament, panic ensues at the possibility of a killer on the loose, and even worse, that the death might cause some bad press. Enlisting the expertise of Roy, a has been golf pro, along with disgruntled pro-hopeful, Kelly, to unmask the culprit behind the carnage, the club’s hard nosed owner soon finds himself with even bigger problems when additional victims begin to turn up, and all signs point to the killer being an out of control, bloodthirsty lawn mower!

A highly original send up of Jaws, from the makers of Girls School Screamers, Thomas R. Rondinella’s BLADES is goofy, gory, and more than a little bit absurd. Vinegar Syndrome presents the worldwide Blu-ray debut of this Tromatic classic, freshly restored in 2K from its 35mm original negative and featuring an in-depth making-of documentary.

The plot for this movie sounds so familiar but I can't find any evidence that I've seen it before. Is there another movie about a killer lawn mower out there?

Maybe one of these?

[starsteam]

No, I distinctly remember those films. My only guess is that it was this movie on one of those cheap multipacks from Echo Bridge or Mill Creek, maybe under a different title.

I think I found it in a triple pack from Troma on DVD. Although, it's under the same title, Blades.

Was that it?

This will be my first killer lawnmower movie

Should this be filed under 'Supernatural' or is there a human behind this thing?

Nope, I don't own any releases from Troma themselves. No movie called Blades in my spreadsheet. IMDB shows no alternative titles. But I swear I've seen this movie. It's just one of those concepts that sticks in your mind.

That's it! Almost the same set up, just with a serial killer instead of a sentient lawnmower.
