Though the film raises interesting questions about high school power dynamics and tries to present a suspenseful slasher story, it rarely rises above lifeless meandering through school hallways.

Student Body is not a perfect film, but I think that it will serve as a capsule to recognize future artists.

Though there are moments of joy and terror, STUDENT BODY, ultimately commits the cardinal teenage sin; it feels like it’s trying too hard.

Screen Rant

The scariest part of Student Body is patriarchy and gaslighting, not getting hit in the head with a sledgehammer by the school’s mascot.

Rated: 1.5/5

Despites its flaws, this is a tough film not to love for its scrappy energy alone. All eyes will be on what Lee Ann Kurr does next, hopefully with a bigger canvas.

Rated: 7/10

Kurr recalls slashics like Slaughter High, but her low-budget affair does little with its centerpiece danger.

Was expecting something different, like a time skip and them coming back as adults for revenge. This was just... shoulda been PG-13 so people know better to stay away. Too slow and uneventful with too much relationship drama where there should have been suspense building. It's as if they wanted to do a remake of The Breakfast Club, couldn't, so they did it anyways and turned it into a horror movie with a different title. Ultimately ends up as a basic slasher with all the latest bells & whistles.

Student Body was a fun romp into the high school horror genre with a pro cast, compelling story and even GREAT music! Everything works in this movie to make it excellent entertainment . Pop the popcorn, grab a friend and settle in for a treat!

I love slasher films from the 80s so this was right up my alley. It hit the sweet spot of spoofing horror while being horror--like the first Scream flick did.

If you are looking for a movie with unlikable cliche characters, entry-level acting, no suspense, and an obvious ending that you've watched unfold a thousand times before, then this is your flick!

It's a teenage slasher film that leans on some typical high school stereotypes. Someone is dressed as the school mascot and wielding a sledgehammer...and there's a final girl...all pretty much expected.

This watchable teen slasher film is a throwback to old 1980's style horror genre that features attractive teens running through the halls trying to get away from a revenge seeking killer. It's fun to a point, but offers few new and exciting elements. The formula is just too set in stone for the filmmakers to even attempt to breathe any kind of new life into it.
