Student Body is basically about a bunch of mostly unlikable teens locked in a school after hours being stalked by a slasher dresses as the school mascot. It takes entirely too long to get to the “scary” parts and seemingly even longer to get to the credits.
The opening half hour suggests a totally different movie, one about a teacher creeping on the smart girl in class. And how the smart girl deals with her friends who are annoyed at her curve-destroying math skills. It’s reasonably character driven… but all that gets thrown out when the slasher movie starts.
And the slasher movie is… pretty mediocre. Nothing original and with mediocre kills and gore effects. If the killer in the mascot outfit was supposed to be a surprise, it wasn’t. But it also had little to do with the first half of the movie, really.
This had potential but failed to deliver.
