Severe Injuries

Came across a bootleg DVD-R copy of this & it is, IMHO, the best of Amy Lynn Best's productions. Though I'm still not a fan of this type of forced comedy, the overall effect here is much better than her other films. The haunted or cursed house atmosphere gives some added punch to the story and the acting is generally a step or two above what I've come to expect from the usual list of suspects. And any excuse to see Debbie Rochon on tape again is worth the price of admission or the cost of a convention bootleg. I like Lilith Stabs and Debbie Rochon and I look forward to the perfect teaming of this pair. In the meanwhile, Severe Injuries is certainly Amy Lynn Best's best so far. I hope she keeps trying because I think there is going to be at least one very good film coming from her.

I got this movie because I saw that Debbie Rochon & Lilith Stabs were in it. I figured with these two names it would at least deserve a look. I did not know that Deb was merely doing a small cameo part. I have seen Lilith Stabs in Vampire Call Girls, Demomatrix and Vampire Catholic Schoolgirls from Hell. The director of these productions gave her scripts that enabled her to demonstrate her highly erotic capabilities & brought her goth style & glamour to the attention of b fans & directors. Her role in this as house slut does not give her any opportunity to show her erotic style & talent. If you want to see a group of the plainest girls & lamest guys in a movie then get this one. Debbie & Lilith need to be much more picky about the productions they take part in. They deserve much better than this.

Trying to uphold his family's legacy, a serial killer from a long-line of deranged maniacs tries to make a name for himself by targeting a coed and her friends who are hosting a special party at their sorority house, but when a second killer shows up he's forced to make a name for himself at all costs.

This was a fantastically fun and silly type of feature. The outright goofy setup that takes place here, focusing on the outlandish idea of the killer trying to go about rectifying the reputation of his inept family by handling the rampage at the local college, is a great way to bring about a fun mix of comedic interludes and attempts at genuine genre thrills. Focusing on the infiltration of the sorority after a series of ineffective attempts at taking out victims but only finding out the series of inept bungling and clumsy antics he displayed while targeting the stragglers makes him an even more ineffective killer against a group of generally clueless coeds who are in the middle of a celibacy party with their horny boyfriends. The fact that a second killer arrives and forces him into a competition makes for the most amount of fun here, with everything being played up for laughs to the point of making this far more enjoyable than it should be. On top of that, the series of spoofs and gags playing up the genre tropes only adds to the laughs present. From a killer using his mask to terrify victims only to have them not be scared of the chosen disguise and fight back enabling them to escape, brandishing ineffective weapons at victims only for them to pull out more imposing ones to chase him off, or listening to a group of guys try to explain the rules of a romantic comedy to get lucky with their girlfriends, it all makes this one come off so overtly silly and goofy that the tone of the release is straightforward lighthearted from the beginning. It has the potential to border on being too ludicrous or silly for some to take and be put off by how it handles everything, but that's the main issue here as a personal-preference drawback.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.

I just finished watching this movie and I am very disappointed.

The explanation: The story is actually good! Very good and very funny. It seems like a parody to all the similar "horrors". But the actors were mostly awful. And everything else was awful to.. for example: when the cat jumps through the window, we actually see a hand which has pushed the cat through it. Also the blond actress has too much powder on..her face is a lot darker than the rest of her body and you can also see a line between dark and bright skin. I feel I could tape this film with my own camera...so,everything was bad except the story herself. I think they should have left direction and production of this film to someone who is better in it, because it could be a hit,you know...

This was a great film. It parodies every slasher flick ever done and it does it intelligently. The movie follows a hapless serial killer who like the rest of his family is completely inept. He vows to his dying father (who he accidentally electrocutes) to do the family name proud. We are off to the most brain dead sorority house in the world with equally dumb boyfriends serving themselves up to our hapless hero/killer. Amy Lynn Best and Lilith Stabs are the only 2 people there who aren't missing several pounds of gray matter between their ears. There are so many parodies that I couldn't even begin to list them but one of my favorites is that all of girls are commanded by their Fem Lib professor (played by Debbie Rochon) to deny their sexual urges and not give in to the tyrannical patriarchy of the penis (actual quote). If you want to see a real fun movie just go to Happy Cloud pictures and get it. I know I didn't regret it.
