In this slasher film parody, a psychotic serial killer called "The Breather" is killing off sexually active high school students when not making threatening phone calls (with a rubber chicken disguising his voice). Among The Breather's weapons of choice are paper clips, eggplants, and wooden horse-head bookends, and one of the murders is committed to commemorate
Jamie Lee Curtis's birthday.
Student Bodies was written and directed by
Mickey Rose, who previously collaborated with
Woody Allen on the screenplays for several of Allen's early films. The film had a notoriously difficult production and producer
Michael Ritchie (best known as director of such films as
The Candidate and
Downhill Racer) opted to take his name off the picture, instead using the Director's Guild pseudonym
Alan Smithee.
