Blades

Blades is a 1989 American horror comedy film distributed by Troma Entertainment and directed and edited by Thomas R. Rondinella, who also co-wrote the film with producers William R. Pace and John P. Finegan. Its plot concerns a series of brutal murders occurring at a prestigious country club's golf course, which are apparently the work of a possessed lawn mower. Plot During a camping trip, two teenagers are killed by an unseen force whilst making out in a field near to the Tall Grass Country Club's famed golf course, and their mangled bodies are discovered the next morning. Later that day, another club member, Mr. Simpkins, is also killed, and his bloodied remains are found near the same hole as the one where the teenager's bodies were discovered. Norman Osgood, the owner of Tall Grass, is determined to keep the news of the murders private as he and the rest of the club prepares for an upcoming nationally televised golf tournament. Police chief Charlie Kimmel is brought in to investigate the murders. Meanwhile, Tall Grass's newest professional, former celebrity golf player Roy Kent, decides to instigate his own investigations, and discovers a number of clues, including oil stains, paths of mowed grass, and a busted golf ball found near Simpkins's body. After a young caddy becomes the latest victim, a meeting is held, and Kimmel declares the necessity of a "course-wide maniac hunt" for the killer, in which the whole club gets involved. Chaos quickly erupts throughout the golf course, and the club members unanimously accuse former clubmember Deke Slade of being the killer after they find him on the course trying to start up a lawnmower. During a police interrogation, Deke claims that a larger lawnmower is attacking people all by itself, and that he has been trying to track it down and stop it, but he is dismissed as being insane and gets locked up in the police station. Norman, convinced that Deke was the killer, decides to proceed with the upcoming tournament. Roy is skeptical, however, and later that night, he and assistant professional Kelly Lange sneak into the club and cut open the bag of the lawnmower Deke was using, and discover that it contains grass and no body parts, implying that the real killer is still out there.
