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
