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...

"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.

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.

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.

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.
