- Synopsis:
As any self-respecting slasher buff will know, Paramount Pictures hit pay-dirt with their all-time teen-kill classic 'Friday the 13th' (1980). Yet, when the time came to capitalise on the same cycle that the studio instigated, the brain-trust opted to take a more satirical turn and the result was 'Student Bodies' - unleashed to cinemas in 1981. Dubbed as 'the world's first comedy-horror film', 'Student Bodies' won an instant and eternal fan following for its effective nods to a series of slice and dice denizens, including 'Halloween' (1978), the Voorhees mythology and 'Prom Night' (1980). Long before 'Scream' (1996), this was the original movie that asked audiences to tick-off the tributes - and, with its tongue firmly placed in its cheek, 'Student Bodies' remains a riotous viewing experience! - Actors:
