Imagine the teens from Euphoria hacking each other to bits. That’s what Bodies Bodies Bodies goes for but in a way that’s somehow less gross and traumatic, and more fun.

… Doesn’t pull any punches and doesn’t make any apologies. It’s cutting, mean, and sharp enough to draw blood.

Bodies Bodies Bodies is a gnarly, uncouth, and suitably deceitful breath of fresh horror air.

It’s intentionally chaotic and, now and again, surprisingly funny.

With its runtime of 95 minutes, “Bodies Bodies Bodies” has a cutthroat pace. By the time it’s over, you’ll want to see it play out again.

This is a film that plays with your expectations and delivers a drastically different experience. The characters are hard to root for, but the journey progresses in a fascinating way.

A boffo ending saves the day for anyone still hangin’ around and, uh, perhaps that includes some viewers, too . . . Anybody for a sequel? Nobody?

To some degree, this movie strives to be purposely annoying and occasionally shocking, reflecting a self-aggrandizing culture in which everyone wants to be the centre of attention.

Fresh, tense, and funny, ‘Bodies, Bodies, Bodies’ serves up sharp social satire via a twisted, bloody whodunnit.

“Bodies Bodies Bodies” may not reinvent the genre, but it offers a fresh and clever spin on a murder mystery.

Impression Blend
Horror, particularly of the slasher variety, is often representative of Hollywood’s younger generation….This is also very much true of Bodies Bodies Bodies…. The movie may feel weird to some of us. Is it weird? Or are we just getting older?
