"in glorious mono," the SOV cult item Hey, Stop Stabbing 
Me! is a goofy little homegrown slasher semi-spoof most famous now as the $500 calling card for the team of Josh Miller and Pat Casey (credited here as Worm Miller and Patrick Casey), who went on to bigger things with National Lampoon's Dorm Daze and the two Sonic the Hedgehog movies. Shot on DV in Bloomington, Minnesota over one month during the summer of 2000, this one first turned up from Sub Rosa and easily ranks as one of their best acquisitions thanks to a genuinely hilarious script that manages to tap into post-college unease with a little horror flair.
in the basement that keeps stealing his socks, and a homicidal roomie living under the
same roof.
optional English SDH subtitles are provided. Miller, Casey, and actor Andy Kriss (who hasn't acted since but is really 
funny here) provide a very energetic commentary track (in lieu of the much more free-form one on the DVD) that covers just about everything you could want to know while acknowledging some of their rookie shortcomings (like the pacing for the first 10 minutes). Miller and Casey also provide an upbeat video intro (6m8s) about the remastering and the film's place in their lives, while "Still Stabbing After All These Years" (39m7s) is a video conference reunion with the cast and crew looking back at their lives in Bloomington, the way their paths all crossed (with public access TV playing a big role in high school), and lots of stories from the shoot.
sledgehammer. You'll see a bunch of familiar faces here, and while it's a much looser and weirder film than Stabbing, there's 
no doubt it still had the same hands guiding the whole thing. Again you get a Miller and Casey intro (6m27s) explaining how the whole silly thing came together (shot in both Minnesota and L.A. without a finished script), something you find out more in a new commentary track with the pair and Drew Ailes. Carried over from the earlier release is a very off-the-cuff "party" commentary by Miller, Casey, actor Sean Hall, and "anyone else at the party who wanted to talk," which features drunk people wandering in and out at their leisure. Finally you get the funny short film "Magma Head" (33m18s), subtitled "A Film Best Viewed Drunk," with Casey having some very strange escapades trying to realize his dream film project. Also, it probably is best viewed drunk. That one also comes with a Miller and Casey video intro (4m3s) and a commentary by the duo with actor Craig Sherman, all of which explains how the whole thing evolved under daunting scheduling problems. Finally the disc wraps up with three bonus short films: "Big Hit Little Fish" (4m18s) and "Free Chair" (5m31s), both Super 8 Loyola Maramount student films by Miller from 1998, and "Special Studies Film II" (1m35s), a quickie originally included as the intro short for the 2003 DVD release.
