Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Let's get something straight: This movie is ridiculous. That being said, it's pure genius. This movie mocks the horror films of the late 70's and early 80's. Those movies were based on teens drinking and having sex before getting killed by the bad guy. Think: Blood Beach, Prom Night, Friday the 13th, Halloween. That's the entire plot of this movie. Teens, despite being at a funeral, parade, football game, etc., sneak away to engage in intercourse before meeting their demise. The movie mocks the silly actions of your horror movie victims who often leave doors unlocked and ignore basic safety measures which lead to their demise. While some call the script weak, I call it witty and amusing. The more you watch Student Bodies the more you'll appreciate the dialogue and the acting itself.The killer is known as "The Breather". He or she employs unorthodox methods of murder including, but not limited to, death by eggplant. The protagonist, a prude named Toby (Kristen Riter), lectures her friends on the dangers of having sex. Toby ultimately ends up on crime scenes and becomes a suspect herself. Riter who later starred in a music video is attractive and believable in the role despite playing the prude. The rest of the cast does a nice job in their roles. Patrick Varnell aka "The Stick" was masterful as "Mr Malvert". Sara Eckhardt portrays Patty the Prom Queen in convincing manner. Eckhardt, from Austin, Texas, would eventually end up on the bench as a Travis County judge. Mr. Dumpkin, portrayed by veteran actor Joe Flood, is the shop teacher addicted to making horsehead bookends. Some of the scenes and lines are politically incorrect in this current climate but are funny nonetheless. Give this movie a try. It's better than any of the "Scary Movie" installments. It's an easy watch and it's quite addicting.10/10

Student Bodies (1981)I saw this the other night, I really enjoyed, I think I did try to watch before, few years back, when it on you tube, I loved the way how started with meowing dog, loved to see, Loved the mum screaming at dishing at the TV. I found some jokes really funny made me laugh out loud, some jokes seem a little fall flat, no many, I enjoyed most of the movie, I wasn't big fan of twist at the end, I really hate it when movies do the that. I did enjoy the very last scene from movie, which spoof Carrie Fun movie.7 out of 10

...are two of the comedic bits that I found fairly funny in this very original spoof of the incredibly popular slasher movie genre that bombarded the screens in the early 80's after Halloween, Friday the 13th, and a slew of other holidays turned gore-fests. This film starts out strong with some real creative scenes and ideas and, like the genre it is spoofing itself, soon falls into repetitive devices to try and be funny and loses its zip. That notwithstanding Student Bodies is interesting to a point as it is the forerunner of movies like Scream, Scary Movie, and others. It saw that the slasher genre was ripe for a harvest of cliché-riddled formula to be made fun of in film. The budget is pretty low here and the acting talents are less-than-stellar, but the spirit is pretty genuine throughout. Some of the actors playing the teachers were the funniest as was the body count throughout the film. The ending is a little too forced for my liking but overall Student Bodies delivers what is promises - just like the slasher films it pokes fun at.
