Hey, Stop Stabbing Me!

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

Well, I hate to burst everyone's bubble before me, but IMAO this was a very ordinary film that was mildly amusing at best. What's worse is that it invokes a hefty glorification of gratuitous violence, so much so that it ruined the film (again IMAO). The violence wasn't ridiculous enough to be a mockery, but an essential part of the film, overstating other perhaps more interesting plot aspects that might have been developed further to a more satisfying - and original - whole.

This is a pity, because it was very well acted (these guys shame some of the more recognized Hollywood stars), and the character development wasn't too bad either. And there was definitely potential, some of the peripheral themes were definitely candidates for further development. What ruined it was that the plot was so bloody stupid. This could have been a great movie if the central plot theme wasn't so banal.

Sorry I couldn't give it more than two points out of ten, but this is an absolute (rather than a relative) scale, it was definitely a masterpiece for the budget they had. Shame about the subject matter.

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!

These guys are comedy kings! I love this movie to death. And I was scared with all the people saying it was good that maybe they just have the same type of

sense of humor that I might not have. But I was Dead Wrong! I thought it was

great! From start to finish it made me laugh and there was never a dull moment either. But pay no attention to the cover of the box, its not a scream parody. Its not a really a parody of anything at all its just a well round comedy. Can't wait to see their next DVD "Murder Made Easy" which might be coming out later this

year. So please find this movie and buy it. You won't regret it.

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! ;-)
