Review of Student Bodies (1981) by Doctor S — 16 Jun 2010
Indefensibly stupid but still pretty funny horror movie parody, one of the first of its kind. Miles better than 'Scary Movie' for instance. The problem is the teen actors aren't very good and the gags run out after an hour.
But the adult characters are funny, including the glib principal ("And here is the float with the prom queen candidates...what's left of them anyway"), the school psychiatrist who wants to be called Daddy, and the shop teacher with an unhealthy obsession over horsehead bookends.
Enough laughs to be found by horror movie fans to make it worthwhile. Smartest gag probably stems from their effort to earn an 'R' rating.
