Severe Injuries

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...

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" 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.

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.

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).
