They Don't Cut the Grass Anymore is a gore flick I've heard about for a while now. I kept hearing that it's an alright gore flick, which it is I suppose. It does have a decent amount of gore. But my God, the special effects are so damn cheap looking. It was just a mess of gore effects. But if you were to compare it to every other aspect of the movie, the gore probably comes off as the best thing. Actually, scratch that. Whoever actually maintained and cut the actual lawns in the film....they did a great job. Fantastic lawns.The writing and acting will go down as some of the worst I've ever seen. Most of the time if the film has such awful acting and writing, I usually find it amusing. I may have smirked a couple times, but overall, the people acting were just so awful and bland feeling that it just didn't give me any type of satisfaction. A couple detective characters showed up later on in the film...they had what it took to deliver some laughs, but unfortunately they were only on screen for a couple minutes.Overall, They Don't Cut the Grass Anymore just plainly doesn't cut it. It's much, much too Home Video for myself. Maybe if I knew the people involved I'd have some weird appreciation for it, but it's really just a completely passable and forgettable gore flick. I didn't completely hate it though, the mask of one of the brothers was kinda cool and I loved the shot to the crotch scene, and I found it kinda funny that every time they tore someone's face apart or stomach, they'd mash the gore in their hands. But a gore flick this bad and without nudity....it takes a true camp-gore fan to truly enjoy this stuff. Only for completists and the hardest of hardcore gore fans. 3.5 outta 10

I am a huge Gore Hound, and read the reviews on IMDb and got this from netflix. I thought I was gonna see a movie that was so bad that it's good. I did not get that at all. The gore is so fake. The intestines are obviously pieces of rope because most of time you see them they are bright white. When they rip the girls' faces off (which is done rather easily I might add) there is a squishing noise that is obviously done with someone's mouth making the noise. I know this is low budget, but it's ridiculous that this even got released. You or I could make this film. I watched the interview with Nathan Schiff on the DVD. He said that this was meant to be a satire with a good script and decent acting behind it. However, he wanted John Smihula in it and he was going into the peace corps in two weeks. So, he had to shoot it in 2 weeks and cut most of the ideas he had and just make it a gore film. He wrote the film quickly and had to use people who had never acted before. Here's an idea Nathan, instead of building the entire movie around John Smihula, why didn't you get another actor who could do it,which would have given you more time to make the movie you claim you wanted to? So, contrary to what people say this is not a gore hounds delight, unless you like obviously fake effects with dolls in plain view. HG Lewis had better effects in Wizard of Gore in 1967.

This is a extremely low budget movie as you can guess if you've watched any of Nathan Schiff's movies. If you're looking for a movie with a plot and good acting then you're looking in the wrong place. In Schiff's previous movie "Long Island Cannibal Massacre" he presented the viewers with a plausible plot but in this one it didn't come close to that. It's amazing that Nathan Schiff didn't get one single good actor, by good i mean, someone that could at least deliver one line convincingly, that could light up a cigar naturally but no, no such luck. There's plenty of gore but personally it didn't impress me, it's so unrealistic, so fake looking that you can't associate it with real blood, real skin, guts, etc. Watch at least one Nathan Schiff movie, just to get an idea about what he's all about, maybe this one isn't the best choice.

PLOTTwo `yardworkers' Billy Buck and Jacob are disgusted by the upper society and they express their anger on Northern Yuppies in very different and violent ways..COMMENTSThis movie appeared on DVD on Feb. 24 and I immediately bought it. IMDB has only 2 (by far) reviews on this movie which I liked. Being a gore fan I was really exited about this movie. Itself the movie is only 70 min long though I guess it was enough to see the point director Nathan Schiff was trying to show.well.there's no point actually. This movie has a very poor plot , very poor acting and sometimes really silly effects (barby dolls and e.t.c). Though I liked John Smihula's performance. He plays Billy Buck , a big yard worker who along with his ugly friend Jacob mutilate all those Yuppies. The gore scenes are disgusting , am not going to deny it , sometimes really violent. Everything is shown in really close angle , so you get to see everything , the flesh , guts and everything else you need to vomit if u don't have a steel stomach , which is STRONGLY recommended. People are murdered in very different ways with tons of different weapons like chainsaw , hammer , dynamite , steel pipe and e.t.c. Sometimes you can easily see that they use a doll instead of a body . I guess due to financial problems , because this is a 'non budget' movie. Though it has a great ending. Everything is shot with a cheap hand camera and sometimes scenes are not fit in it (at least in DVD version). Though it has a great ending.DVD version has a good gallery and interviews with the film's director Nathan Schiff and John Smihula who played Billy Buck..plus a few trailers to some short animated parody movies (Attack of the Giant Turtle , Cocktails At Midnight).OVERALLAs a gorefest this movie is a treasure. As a Good Horror movie with so-so acting , so-so plot it's a total disaster..watch for urself..
