 It's about time! November 13, 2008

I almost gave up hope this was ever going to DVD, but it's finally here.
This movie is funny beyond belief....a crazy comedy. I remember watching this film late one night because there was nothing else on. This is my favorite stupid horror spoof of all time.
When Student Bodies first came out in 1981 it was completely unique, no one had ever done a horror spoof before. Hense the original Movie poster proclaiming "At last The world's first comedy horror movie".
Student Bodies was written and directed by Mickey Rose, who collaborated with Woody Allen on the screenplays for Allen's early films.
The film had a completely unknown and still unknown cast *Kristen Riter* Toby Badger, *Matt Goldsby* Hardy, *Richard Brando* The Breather,
Student Bodies had a notoriously difficult production and producer Michael Ritchie, Ritchie opted to take his name off the picture, instead using the Director's Guild pseudonym.
This movie has become quite popular since it's release on video in the early eighties.
This comedy is every teenage horror film you've ever seen from the 70's and 80's and every horror movie cliche is taken to hilarous extremes of laughter. The screams are as frequent as the laughs as a crazy murderer or maybe murderess terrorizes Lamab High.
But the senior class is not going to take it lying down most of all Toby Badger...*KRISTEN RITER*. A mousy good girl you know like in all horror films Toby's the virgin. Toby's putting herslef and her beau in some silly positions so she can find out who's "the breather". A killer who is murdering her non-viriginal friends with a pair of rubber gloves and garbage bags and other unusal weapons of choice.
With help from her boyfriend Hardy...*MATT GOLDSBY*(Student Bodies,Frances) who's the town nerd of sorts who's always there by Toby's side if she needs him. Hardy's trying his best to protect and save Toby. But at the same time trying to protect and save himself.
Toby and Hardy are Ducking such lethal weapons such as paper clips, blackboard erasers and horse-head bookends, they set about trying to find the mysterious "Breather" and other things that go bump in the night.
No one is safe from the crazy twists and turns of the looney plot, and a madcap twist of an ending. No one is Safe least of all the student bodies themselves. Football games, pep rallies, parades and senior proms provide background for a movie that leaves no horror movie cliche unexplored.
This movie is Rated R which actually I think is a joke onto itself because there is only slight nudity, little Gore, there's only a few bad words said in the entire movie, some lewds jokes but that's the best parts.
This movie is actually quite tame considering all the raunchy teen movies of the 80's and 90's that will follow it. But it is by far the best in my opinion.
Student Bodies was the movie that started the whole horror movie spoofs. This is a great film. Great laughs, Sharp ,Witty and of course purposely stupidly wonderful. I mean hello it's a comedy not shakespheare.
5...stars TWO thumbs way up.

Student bodies is very silly spoof of horror movies of the 1970s and early 1980s. Think about "When A Stranger Calls," "Black Christmas," and "Halloween" being written and directed by someone with chromosome damage and you're almost there. I first saw this movie on HBO in the early 1980s and laughed until it hurt. I hadn't seen it again until this DVD release. Younger generations may not get some of the references, unless they've done their horror movie homework and watched classic 70s and 80s horror flicks instead of the more recent crop of awful re-makes.
 Pretty funny movie August 28, 2008

The main villain called "The Breather", in this film is just hilarious. We never see his face, or really learn his motives behind his killings, but he is just funny. His heavy breathing and observations on things will leave you laughing. He is about the only good thing to this movie that is filled with sub par performances and a plot that just goes nowhere.

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!
Before there was "Scary Movie", there was "Student Bodies" June 30, 2008

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.
