Review of Blades

Blades (1988)
3/10
Just plain bad
30 January 2023
I do wonder what the intent of this movie was, since each attempt came up lame. For the type of killing the machine did, rather non-graphic. It probably is intended for an audience of 14-16 year old boys, as there are suggestive comments that may go over their heads that they would find funny, but adults would know why. It could have used tighter editing. There are terrible murders on a golf course, just before a major charity tournament, which of course has to go on. The town police chief is played for a fool as stereotype, and when they allow locals to try and find the killer, it reminds one of a particular shark movie scene. There is a cheating golfer, and an initial suspect, Deke, has a helper named Jason, who is wearing a hockey mask. When they are trying to lure the mower, they throw out hay bales with balloons attached, but fail to show how they blew up the balloons with helium, as there were no blown up balloons in sight at the start. It could have been a fun B-movie if they knew how to play it right with the script, but it simply missed too much.
