The Greenskeeper (2003)
Rich kids who get up to no good at the local country club are routinely slayed by the mysterious, murderous greenskeeper.
An enjoyable slasher film for the undemanding low budget movie buff. The snobbier than usual victims are all pleasingly offed in various and at times inventive ways. I loved the couple making out next to the eighteenth hole. The killer makes fine use of the course hole cutter and leaves the corpses with the flag waving in the breeze.
The films main let down was the kids as they were all pretty generic with no stand out characters. However this didn't really matter as they weren't afraid of nudity or dying horribly. With its rather attractive country club location the film takes the low budget slasher out of the woods / warehouse / high school (delete as applicable) therefore belying its meagre budget restrictions.
The film continues in the great slasher traditions by having the most convoluted who-dunnit final reel possible.
Clocking in at a slender 82 minutes The Greenskeeper doesn't outstay its welcome and is a fun, bloody way to waste your time for those like me who love this sort of thing.
