Don’t let the online ratings fool you! This movie is
terrible. Wait, that’s exactly what the online reviews say…okay, let me
rephrase this. Don’t let the online ratings ‘deter’ you, or the fact that
almost every single cast member involved with this movie didn’t want to receive
any credit whatsoever for it.
It’s cheesy, raunchy, stupid, funny, at times painful…and
fantastic. Fantastic in that everyone pretty much knows what they’re in is
stupid, and they’re all adults…but they aren’t above acting like children, or
milking DUMB gags until they’re crying for mercy. Believe it or not, this was
pretty unique for it’s time. Way ahead of Scary Movie, with considerably less
drug jokes. It’s a direct parody of Slasher, which wasn’t a completely formed
genre yet. Coming out of the age of Grindhouse ‘masterpieces’, this film was
made at the perfect time.
Honestly, completely sober, I feel drunk when I watch this.
So if you think about it, I saved a lot of money sitting through Student
Bodies. You could too! Unless you prefer to appreciate films merely for the
sake of art and brilliance, or you’re too highly evolved for juvenile humor and
pre-marital sex.
The main premise is that a serial killer called ‘Breather’
kills teenagers who have sex, usually with unique methods…like vegetables…and
horse-head bookends. Meanwhile, there’s a lot of teenagers having sex all over
the place. Don’t forget the janitor, Malvert, who’s actually a lot more funny
and terrifying than the Breather (which is saying something. The Breather is
hilarious.) The secondary premise is that everyone’s an idiot. Like Airplane…with
a serial killer.
