Hey, Stop Stabbing Me! (2000)

 'Hey, Stop Stabbing Me!' is a horror comedy, alternately broad and dry, made by a 22 year old Josh Miller and his friends in suburban Minnisota over the course of the summer of 2000. I would describe it as a better version of something I might have been tempted to do around the same time. Done with basically no budget, but some real wit, it really brought me back to my suburban experience of the Clinton years, while also foreshadowing later online content, like the spoof movies done by Channel Awesome during the Obama years. Josh Miller would go on to write the Christmas comedy 'Violent Night' as well as all three Sonic the Hedgehog movies. **1/2
