Severe Injuries (2003)

Very Cool!!!

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

"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 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.

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.

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).
