Plot:
A golf course in financial trouble is the scene of a string of caddy murders at the paws of pesticide-mutated gophers, while the greedy owner of the facility tries to cover up the carnage and an unhinged groundkeeper wages all-out war on the vicious vermin…
Reviews:
“Horror fans will put up with the weakest garbage imaginable to reach the good horror parts. Caddy Hack has good horror parts. The mutant party scene at the climax is balls-out wonderful. It is the kind of finale that sprays cheese whiz in the open mouth of your drunken jackass viewing party. So, while the script is caddy slack, the gophers are caddy crack.” 6 out of 10, Film Threat
“The horror elements are worked around in ways to hide the low budget, although the poor editing and dreadful effects only worsen the attempts at on-screen brutality. Most of the focus is on the comedic aspects, although this is let down by an unnecessary need to explain the jokes and take juvenile avenues in tiresome ways.” ½ out of ★★★★★ Nerdly
“Anyone watching Caddy Hack expecting a creature comedy, is going to be disappointed. If you’re looking for a more general comedy, you’ll probably still be disappointed, just not as badly. If it had billed itself as a comedy about golf that happened to include killer critters, Caddy Hack might have risen to watchable.” ★★ Voices from the Balcony
