Quick Answer

What is The Student Body about?

The Student Body is a 1976 American comedy-drama-science fiction film directed by Gus Trikonis about three female inmates who agree to become test subjects in a college aggression study, only to discover they are being secretly dosed with an experimental drug.

Programmer's Pick

When parole comes with a prescription, you know you’re in exploitation territory. Gus Trikonis delivers a psychotronic cocktail of women's prison grit, college mayhem, and questionable pharmaceutical ethics—served with a heavy dose of 1970s skin and sass.

Overview

In The Student Body, three women serving time in a Kansas City prison are presented with a tempting offer: early parole in exchange for participating in a university study on aggression and antisocial behavior. Eager for a shot at freedom, Carrie, Mitzie, and Chicago accept, but soon find themselves at the mercy of Dr. Blalock, a professor with a hidden agenda. Unbeknownst to them, they are being used as guinea pigs for an experimental drug that actually causes the very aggression the study claims to examine. As their behavior spirals, Carrie grows suspicious and seeks help, setting the stage for a collision between scientific ethics and institutional exploitation in this blend of sexploitation, comedy, and science fiction.
