Severe Injuries (2003) User Reviews

It has a potential, but it is not used

[positiva · 5/10 · 9 July 2006]

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...

What A Waste

[hororfan11 · 1/10 · 24 April 2006]

First let me say this story had possibilities but the casting department for sure needs to be put on waivers. Was there any acting talent on display ? Yes, but not enough to save this ! Deb Rochon again does her best to give a rousing hearty performance & does very well in her effort. Lilith Stabs is the only other positive. Now my question to the producer is, " why go to the trouble of casting a professional dominatrix/ fetish model as the house slut if her SMBD/fetish talents are ignored " ? Instead of her carrying a gun a paddle, cane, crop or whip would be much more real for her. Likewise her attire could have consisted of some Thigh Hi spike heel boots & corsets. All told this was not a good movie.

Amy Lynn Worst

[theTRUTH-hurts · 1/10 · 15 June 2006]

If you see this chicks name in the credits immediately turn around and run in the other direction! The two movies I've seen by her are lame and stupid. I also agree with the people who said she was dull and partially spoiled this movie by insisting on starring in it (only partially because the writing and direction are also awful and spoil the rest of it). Severe Injuries is just another case of a vain and misguided effort that exists to try to prove just how talented one human being thinks they are. The problem is that Amy Lynn is just simply not talented at all. She is also not an appealing or attractive actress... at all! It's just painful to watch at times. In fact, the lead actresses in this movie altogether are not good looking or talented. Robyn Griggs has gone downhill since her soap opera days and insists on wearing tight clothing so her gut hangs out of the bottom of her shirt. The other lead girls are quite hideous also and not a one of them can act. That leaves the good looking and talented women like Debbie Rochon and Jasi Lanier with just small cameo appearances here which will be a huge disappointment to their fans. The movie itself is a forced and unfunny parody of slasher films about a killer murdering sorority girls and their boyfriends. I like very low budget horror movies like the ones from Eric Stanze but this is a piece of garbage that needs to be thrown in the dumpster where it belongs.

Disappointed

[criticed · 1/10 · 14 April 2006]

First let me say I watched this twice in the same evening. Reason for doing that was to try & find something good to say about it. Let me start by asking where did they find the cast. Apart from Deb Rochon and Lilith Stabs the rest of the ladies were atrocious to look at. Any of them ever hear the phrase sex appeal, I wonder ? The plot had potemtial but the acting was terrible. Amy Lynn should stay behind the camera & leave the acting to Deb & Lilith. Deb was great in her role. Lilith as Holly the house slut was totally under used. Her one semi nude shot ( Bra & garter slip on stairs ) was one would think at least the lead up to some further lingerie shots but alas it was not to be. The missed opportunity to showcase Miss Stabs natural oozing sex appeal should be a class a misdeameanor if not a more serious offence. The male participants were there only for the free beer as there was no talent whatsoever among them. Fans of Rochon can feel good about her performance and fans of Stabs can only hope that someday some producer will use that natural sexy body.

Debbie Rochon & Lilith Stabs

[gothluver · 21 June 2006]

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.

Better than Middlin'

[liudragon · 2/10 · 28 July 2004]

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.

Severe Injuries is a Laugh Riot

[dwaltz6969 · 9/10 · 26 June 2006]

I look at the negative posts on this site for the film Sever Injuries and have to wonder what these people were thinking. Okay, sure there's no nudity in it, but that's okay. The jokes are good, the laughs are aplenty and the women come in all shapes and sizes instead of the Hollywood cookie cutter syndrome. Not all men like the exact same woman, get with it people. Plus, my favorite, stand out moment was the parody of Scream where the guy explains how to survive a chick flick. Debbie Rochon came across as a psycho madwoman which was pretty funny. The idea of a serial killer who comes from a long line of wanna be serial killers is pretty funny as well. And for the one person who said there was no gore in the flick. Did you actually watch it. There's a huge, well done aftermath of a slaughter sequence at the end of the film which pays homage to most slasher flicks that used the same device in hundreds of films. Peopl who have no tolerance for micro budget film making really deserve the mountain of dreck that Hollywood foists upon them year after year. Severe Injuries is a great addition to the horror comedy genre.

Entertaining...

[zmoviefan · 19 February 2006]

I'm a huge fan of independent/low budget horror flicks and while this one isn't a horror movie, I found it to be quite funny and really enjoyed it.

Robin Griggs, Jenna Bull-Trombold and Robin Green in my opinion had the best scenes and funniest one liners. The leading lady should've been a little bit more alive, she spends most of the movie sitting down! I honestly wished one of the bimbos would've survived instead of her.

My favorite scene was with Ms. Green being chased by the killer in the bathroom. My second favorite scene was with Ms. Griggs also, in the bathroom fixing her hair with the killer right behind her.

I give it 8 out of 10 because I found the beginning with the main character and his father to be boring and as I said earlier, the leading lady didn't do that much throughout the movie. Other than that, it was entertaining and actually made me laugh (in a good way).

Funny stuff!

[minimogul · 10/10 · 19 June 2006]

"Severe Injuries" pretty much establishes Amy Lynn Best as a totally professional (and clever) force in the Low-budget film world. Charlie Fleming has his best role as the inept would-be killer, and Jasi Cotton Lanier's bits are very funny.

Film is also top notch in all technical aspects and contains a surprise appearance by an actress in what could be one of her most memorable appearances ever.

Like "The Resurrection Game", this Happy Cloud Productions effort has a lot of surprise touches. Indie Film legend Debbie Rochon even shows up! Think the DVD may come with the short subject "Were-Girll" with Jasi Cotton Lanier, which was Best' first effort and also very funny.

Excellent Fun

[tcoll32 · 10/10 · 30 May 2007]

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.
