ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

jiggles-32740 This Movie by today's standards would be an instant Failure!!! However, keep in mind it was released in 1981. If you can do that, you will find it just Silly and flat out funny. Mainly, it's funny because of how silly it is. You'll find the Humor. It won't take long.

Predrag Don't be mislead, this is one stupid movie. It's supposed to be, and succeeds with flying colors. Before the "Scary Movie" franchise there was "Student Bodies", with office supplies and vegetables as murder weapons, rubber chicken voice alterations and co-eds so overwhelmed by hormones that they can't help but invoke the serial killer stalking young lovers. The movie starts off with a bang (death by paper clip, anyone?) and the on-screen body count throughout is amusing, but it just seems to drag on and on and on. when everything's said and done, this movie is simply too stupid for it's own good.The story is silly. There are plot holes, big enough to drive a truck through. (With big blinking signs pointing to them in some places.) Teenagers die in silly ways for having unauthorized sex. The dysfunctional heroine tries to figure out who is doing it in order to clear her name. (It always seems like she is in the wrong place at the wrong time.) And wait until you see who gets crowned prom queen. Although, it's Written and co-directed by Carson show writer and successful Woody Allen collaborator Mickey Rose, it's certainly no "Bananas" or even "Take the Money and Run" but it's a diverting enough warm up before a Wayans and Zucker marathon.... Hasn't there been enough senseless killing? Let's have a murder that makes sense!Overall rating: 5 out of 10.

merklekranz I will admit that there are a few moments of chuckles in "Student Bodies", such as the attempt to insure an "R" rating, and the curious use of an eggplant as a murder weapon. However there is much dead material connecting these bright spots. Many scenes go on for far too long, such as the stair climbing scene. The characters are somewhat of a mixed bag, with the lanky janitor perhaps the standout. The horse heads joke is funny the first time, but then is overused to the extreme. It is my guess that everything was stretched to the maximum to attain feature length for something that would have difficulty filling out a "Saturday Night Live" skit. - MERK

lost-in-limbo Before "Scary Movie" decided to spoof the slasher genre, the 80s had its very own send-up called "Student Bodies". It came quite early you might add, even before the sub-genre had completely hit it off. Anyhow despite that, we know where the ammo for this fun is coming from. "Halloween" and "Black Christmas" comes to mind. Quite variable, but this cheeky and in bad-taste enterprise pokes fun at everything (no one… that's no one is safe), including itself which makes it enjoyably amusing as the typical stereotypes are turn upside down. The story is old-hat and a little tame, but the craziness of the situations makes it hard not to get a tickle out of it. The script holds an exceedingly self-knowing attitude, filled with smart-lipped dialogues and the humour is visually evident too. Slapstick bumbling (the murderer's weapon of choice is just ridiculous) to the humorous use of subtitles pointing out the obvious. The intro perfectly paints it ("I have the feeling this is the last time I baby sit"). Even the music score gets into the action. The apparent genre staples are turned into gags, because how blatant they are in a story's progression for things to work. Horny students, suspicious red herrings, virgin heroine and of course heavy breathing. Some gags are repeatedly used, some to good effect and others became a little tiring. After halfway through it was starting to wear a little thin, but then it breaks out even more insane revelations… one topped off by another. There are about three climaxes! The ending has a nice little homage to a horror classic… which you simply see coming. The performances are spot-on, aiming for a mock seriousness approach and it works with the kooky array of memorable characters like Malvert the janitor. A more than decent little slasher parody.
