Hey, Stop Stabbing Me!

When i first heard of this film, I was in the middle of a grizzly murder, so I payed no real mind to the girl screaming "Hey stop Stabbing me!". As the months stretched on, my mind kept returning to her last words "on DVD for about 10 bucks". My reaction at the time was "huh? what the??". So recently when i was searching for extra-strength Draino on-line, i stumbled on Sub-rosa's site because I'm a bad speller. That's neither here nor there. Long story, not so long. This movie is the BEST no-budget movie i EVER SEEN!! I laughed until my guts split!! My spleen still hurts!!! Buy this film......NOW!!!

My Grade: 9 out of 10 bloody machetes!!!

I first heard of Worm Miller and Patrick Casey when I stumbled across "National Lampoon's Dorm Daze" in a local Target. Although I have not seen that film yet, I did become interested in the writing team once I started reading online reviews about "Hey, Stop Stabbing Me." I figured, hey, for $8 what do I got to lose? Although very cheaply made, I found myself hooked. Very funny in parts - I was rolling at certain points. They even manage to support the film with a great soundtrack. One of the best scenes in the film is the music montage with Manplanet's "Better Than This." I truly was surprised how enjoyable this film was. Maria Morales does a fantastic job as does Andy Kriss. Don't be fooled by the title or the box cover, this is not a spoof - it is an original comedy. I think Miller/Casey have a huge future ahead of them and I can't wait to see their future films.

If you are a fan of good cheese, check this out, you won't get a better buy on DVD for 8 bucks - in fact, most films in the theater won't give you this much enjoyment for 8 bucks. Support indie filmmakers and buy this DVD!

9/10

This movie is pretty damn zany. And pretty damn groovy. Some of the descriptions I'd read of the movie before I tracked it down make it sound like a horror movie, but it's really not at all. It's totally a comedy. Sure a guy gets run over by a lawnmower and that sort of jazz, but I was laughing. They clearly had no money in the budget. And some of the acting is pretty low end, but in kinda a good way. This all adds to the movie's punky charm. My favorite character is Wuzzle. He's a sock monster. The costume is super lame, but I love it. I think there are other people who would like this movie too. If you think Bruce Campbell is the greatest actor in the world, which u should, then I'd bet my brother's left nut that you'll like Stabbing. Unless you're chicken that is.

Being one of the cast members, I suppose I'm somewhat biased, but I think the movie is flat out awesome. Being low budget hurts it in some ways, but gives it its own charm at the same time. Why is it low budget? Because my brother and his friends were broke and couldn't afford to spend a ton of money on the project. Anyway, tell all your friends about the movie and keep your eyes out for the next one entitled "Sledgehammers at Dawn." I'm not sure how or if it will be distributed at this time since it isn't totally done. All the positive reviews are a blast to read, so thanks to everyone who is giving it a positive buzz. Brownie points to anyone who can figure out which member of the cast I am!

HEY, STOP STABBING ME! has no right to be good, it has a no budget feel, its shot on videotape instead of film and uses an all amateur unpaid cast.... honestly this film sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. But not only have they managed not to suck its actually PRETTY DAMN GOOD MOVIE! This team has the chops to tackle hollywood films head-on and I'll bet you if it had something like half of the exposure of Robert Rodriguez's El Mariachi it'd be doing as much business! Normally I'd point to the few weak spots (the fight sequence in the yard for example) but I won't even do that, this film pulls itself up by its own borrowed bootstraps and overcomes the mediocrity of most film and acomplishes the uberfilm dream it truly entertains. Congrats to all involved, see you on the flipside! ;-)
