Before there was "Scary Movie", or "Scary Movie 2" there
was "Student Bodies". I picked this one up at
Amazon.com
for $7.99. I first saw this film when I was around 7 or 8 years
old. My brother had rented it and I didn't understand most of the jokes
until much later. I ran across it on Amazon and felt compelled to refresh
my memory on this demented movie.
First off, this movie is an intentionally bad parody of the late
70's and early 80's slasher films. The comic element reminds me of "The
Kentucky Fried Movie" or "Airplane!". Lots of sight gags, fart jokes,
and just plain silly behavior. Unfortunately there are no nude scenes in
this one, lots of bra and panty stuff but some boobies would have really
added to this film. There is a running body count all throughout the movie,
whenever a character is knocked off a number flashes over his or her corpse.
The body count winds up at 13 & 1/2 (The fly Toby swats counts as 1/2
apparently) The murder weapons are downright retarded: Paper clips, bookends,
an eggplant, and trash bags are just a few. I'm not going to spend a whole
lot of time explaining the story because it's pretty typical.
Teenagers are being murdered in pairs, a male and a female. Just
before each murder the pair are about to have sex and the male leaves
to take a shower or get a birth control device and so on. Once alone the
female is killed in a bizarre way, and when the male comes back he is suffocated
with a trash bag. The other thing linking all the murders is the fact that
Toby, A moral traffic light, tries to talk each couple out of having sex
right before each murder. Since Toby is now a suspect because she was either
present at each murder or talked to the people right before everyone the
only people who will even talk to her are Malvert and Hardy. After a not
so complicated plan to clear her name and several thousand bad jokes later
she winds up in a very strange plot twist ending and the real killer is revealed.
This is one I'm not going to give away this is one you will have to see for
yourself.
The Stick (Malvert) should have a movie of his own. I'd spend $8 to watch
this guy for two hours.
The body count left out one teenager who died when they were demonstrating
how the trash bag thing works.
This movie has plot holes that you could send an aircraft carrier
through (intentionally I'm sure).
I can't imagine why other movies haven't ripped off the "masturbating
killer" idea.
I'm going to end this review by saying "CLICK". (You'll get that
one after you see the movie.)
