It is a performances centric movie

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Blistering performances.

Hey stop stabbing me! (2003) really disappointed me, i was looking forward to this after reading some positive reviews on here but i found it to be lame, unfunny and most of the characters are all ugly talentless geeks.......... it was obviously a bunch of nerdy friends who THOUGHT they could make some sort of funny "Scream/Scary Movie" type film and cash in!!! Well sadly for them and us, this "film" SUCKS bigtime, it must have been made over a weekend, certainly no longer than that. There was no "acting" abilities here folks, and as for a script, well i don't think there was one, seemed like they were just making it up as they went along!! These desperate students got together and made it on a camcorder it would seem!! Basically, the plot is about this college graduate called Herman Schumacher who rents a room with a bunch of weird student types, but weird things start to happen to Herman, his nymph girlfriend seems to be having sex with all the roommates, one of the roommates seems to be a serial killer, a monster (guy in a gorilla suit), seems to be stealing all his clothes...... nothing is going right for Herman!!! To be honest i didn't make it to the end, i was so bored with this, i suggest people stick to "proper" comedy/horror films such as Scream, American Pie, Road Trip, Scary Movie etc etc, give this film a miss if you can ever find it, it's rare for a reason you know............. because it's total CRAP!

Hey, Stop Stabbing Me! starts as Herman Schumacher (co-writer & co-producer Patrick Casey) graduates from St. Olaf College with a major in World History, he hitches a lift to the town of Bloomington where he has to find a place to stay. He spots a flier for a spare room, he heads on over to the address & talks to the owner of the house Blaine (N. David Prestwood) who says he can have the room. Herman meets the other house-mates, Damon (Andy 'Hippa' Kriss), Alan (Sean Hall) & Icky (editor, co-writer, co-producer & director Worm Miller) all of whom seem a little on the eccentric side to say the least. Herman notices that his room is still full of someone else's things, he asks Blaine who says that the room used to belong to Thaddeus who mysteriously disappeared a few months back. Herman gets a job & discovers that his major only qualifies him to dig holes in a field, Alan bizarrely changes his name to Chartreuse, he notices that in the back garden there are pieces of wood stuck in the ground with lots of previous roommates names on them, something starts to steal his clothes & he discovers that his girlfriend Cassie (Maria A. morales) is only 12 years old. Life in the 'real world' isn't going as Herman expected & he also starts to believe that one of his roommates is a serial killer who buries the bodies in the back garden...Edited, co-written, co-produced & directed Worm Miller Hey, Stop Stabbing Me! has absolutely no right whatsoever to a good film but against all the odds & defying all my instincts & expectations it is. The script is a madcap, crazy collection of bizarre incidents, quirky likable character's & genuinely funny gags. Even though the title may lead you to believe that Hey, Stop Stabbing Me! is a comedy horror there is very little horror in it, it definitely doesn't play like a horror film. I really liked this film & I found it very funny, the style of comedy in Hey, Stop Stabbing Me! is an acquired taste for sure. It's a sort of silly juvenile humour that worked very well, for instance when Blaine caught Herman using his comb & then Blaine kept reminding him of it & threatening him. The way Alan changes his name to Chartreuse & everyone else just accepts it like it's a normal thing to do apart from Herman. Or the scenes when Herman was working, even though he has a major he just digs a hole in a field & the company demands that he wears a tie to do it! The fact that Cassie is an underage nymphomaniac, Herman's gay boss, a guy who gives Herman a lift & then keeps talking about killing hitchhikers & faking a stroke behind the wheel & there's even a creature that likes to steal Herman's clothes. I've probably made it sound crap & really stupid but I found it a very watchable, very funny & imaginative film that I'm glad I spent the time to watch. The story is minimal but it's clever & well thought out, everything comes together & works in context. This is a really good film that deserves to be seen, I can't think of anything bad to say about it other than it's extremely silly & odd & many may not like that approach.Director Miller works wonders with the budget he had, apparently Hey, Stop Stabbing Me! had a budget of about $500! Jesus Christ, for $500 they worked miracles. While not particularly outstanding in any area it's pretty well made, the locations are good & I must admit that I have seen far cheaper looking films than this. What the filmmakers obviously lacked in money & facilities they make up for it in enthusiasm & energy, I bet this was a fun production to work on. There's are one or two murders in it, someone is run over with a lawnmower but as a whole the special effects consist of nothing more than a bit of fake blood.With that budget of a measly $500 don't expect state of the art special effects, exotic locations, explosions or fancy camera work but for what it is it's well put together. I even thought the music was pretty good. The actors in Hey, Stop Stabbing Me! were obviously friends & family so don't expect great acting but it's OK, at least all of the character's are likable & pretty funny so they must be doing something right.Hey, Stop Stabbing Me! was a big surprise to me, when I go into these shot-on-video low budget films I really don't expect much at all but this one really delivered. It's not for everyone but I recommend Hey, Stop Stabbing Me! to anyone looking for something a bit different. Don't forget to watch the end credits as they contain outtakes & bloopers which seem to confirm that it must have been fun working on this.

I first heard of Worm Miller and Patrick Casey when I stumbled across "National Lampoon's Dorm Daze" in a local Target. Although I have not seen that film yet, I did become interested in the writing team once I started reading online reviews about "Hey, Stop Stabbing Me." I figured, hey, for $8 what do I got to lose? Although very cheaply made, I found myself hooked. Very funny in parts - I was rolling at certain points. They even manage to support the film with a great soundtrack. One of the best scenes in the film is the music montage with Manplanet's "Better Than This." I truly was surprised how enjoyable this film was. Maria Morales does a fantastic job as does Andy Kriss. Don't be fooled by the title or the box cover, this is not a spoof - it is an original comedy. I think Miller/Casey have a huge future ahead of them and I can't wait to see their future films.If you are a fan of good cheese, check this out, you won't get a better buy on DVD for 8 bucks - in fact, most films in the theater won't give you this much enjoyment for 8 bucks. Support indie filmmakers and buy this DVD!9/10

For being as obviously low budget as it was, this movie is pretty wonderful. The dialogue is sharp and hysterically funny, the pacing is quick and never leaves you wishing you were doing something else, and there are stellar performances by Patrick Casey and Andy Kriss. The rest of the cast does an admirable job of keeping us alternating between laughing and cringing. Definitely track this gem down if you can find it--you won't be disappointed.
