DVD Reviews of Student Bodies
DVD Review: Student Bodies
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember watching this movie 20+ years ago and have long awaited its release. This is not any "typical" B rated comedy / horror flick. It is (in my book) by far the funniest stupid movie EVER! I got my 2 teenagers and some of their friends to watch it with me as well, and they are now going around quoting the movie. :) That's awesome. This is a fun movie. I recommend if you like those 80's goofy movies - then this is the one for you! DVD Review: Before there was "Scary Movie", there was "Student Bodies"
Summary: 4 Stars
Fantastic 80s horror movie spoof, still funnier than any of the "Scary Movie" films. I remember first seeing this on VHS back in the 80s, and simply loved all the humor. Very much in the "Naked Gun" or "Airplane" style, there are quite a few ongoing jokes combined with many unique ideas. If you are a fan of 80s horror, you've got to see this. The DVD has no extra features, so that keeps me from going with 5 stars.DVD Review: "High School Murder Movie"
Summary: 2 Stars
"This motion picture is based on an actual incident. Last year 26 horror films were released...None of them lost money."
Lest you think we're suffering through the heyday of moronic spoof films (Date Movie, Epic Movie, Scary Movie, Meet the Spartans), consider the early 1980s and the glut of fatuous flicks such as Alfred Sole's Pandemonium, Greydon Clark's Wacko, Howard R. Cohen's Saturday the 14th, or this one, Mickey Rose's Student Bodies.
By far the cheapest of the lot, Bodies was written and co-directed by Rose, the onetime writing partner of Woody Allen who helped pen What's Up Tiger Lily?, Bananas, and the classic Take the Money and Run. Any knack for subtlety or humor was sorely lacking by the time Rose wrote this spoof -- the comedy is as broad as a barn and strictly borscht belt.
Filled to the brim with bad puns, awkward sight gags, Dr. Pepper product placement, and parodies of then-recent horror films such as Halloween and Friday the 13th, Bodies stars Kristen Riter as Toby the good girl virgin and Matthew Goldsby as Hardy, the nerd with a heart of gold. The pair investigates a string of murders by The Breather (Richard Brando), an unseen killer who wears galoshes and disguises his voice with a rubber chicken. The Breather knocks off "wild and crazy" oversexed high school students with obtuse objects such as an eggplant, a chalkboard eraser, and a horse head bookend.
Always the mark of quality, Student Bodies was produced by Allen Smithee, this time around taken by Michael Ritchie, who also co-directed. That he disavowed the film while leaving his name on his next one, the misfiring Robin Williams/Walter Matthau "comedy" The Survivors, is a testament to just how bad this film truly is.
DVD Review: Dagmar Loves Eggplants!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is a must see! If you were a teen in the 80's and loved slasher movies,then you'll love this comedy. Way before Craven did "Scream" this film came out with a satire on horror films. So get loaded,seat back and enjoy!DVD Review: "Hi... you like eggplant?"- The Breather
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm not really a fan of horror comedy at all. To tell the truth, I hate the genre with a passion. There's some that I never even finished and never will. I prefer my horror to be done serious or not at all. But Student Bodies so far is the only one that managed to hit with me.
From the very start, you know this isn't something to take serious. I loved the way so many horror cliches and classics were spoofed. I mean some are just too damn funny. The acting is very good and the "killer" is a riot. There is also a great deal of suspense. It's hard to figure out who the killer is.
There are no graphic sex scenes, murder scenes, unnecessary cursing, or gore. This is just a straight up spoof that succeeds. I will admit that several times it slowed down and wasn't funny at all. Overall I still enjoyed it and I'll be keeping this around. Those who live and die by pure horror with no chance at all of enjoying something like this. Don't even waste your money. I came into this with a complete open mind and don't regret it.
Description of Student Bodies
This killer comedy is the original teenage parody horror film taken to the extreme! The screams are as frequent as the laughs as a crazed, heavy-breathing murderer terrorizes Lamab High with a series of mysterious deaths. Everyone is a suspect and no one is safe from the hilarious twists and turns as Breather terrorizes and kills sex-starved couples. When the body count rises, one student attempts to solve the mystery and instead finds herself a suspect. Does she survive or become another victim? It's anyone's guess in this satirical romp of horror!General DVDs
