Editorial Reviews

Director Halina Reijn makes her first English language feature with Bodies Bodies Bodies. This is the debut screenplay from writer Sarah DeLappe based on a story by Kristen Roupenian. The all-female team has stacked the screen with talented actors like Amandla Stenberg (The Hate U Give), Maria Bakalova (Borat Subsequent Moviefilm), Lee Pace (Captain Marvel) and Pete Davidson (King of Staten Island) to make a horror movie for the Gen Z crowd. Sophie (Stenberg) and Bee (Bakalova) are in love, and they are caught in a long, lingering kiss. This sets the romance up as Sophie brings Bee to a party at crazy David's (Davidson) house. Bee is poor and just doesn't fit in. Everyone's annoyed that Sophie didn't RSVP. Sophie's ex still loves her, and there are all the makings of a dramatic horror movie. The story is filled with horror tropes. For example, terrible and unlikeable rich kids go to a remote mansion and meet other rich kids, where they are picked off one by one. The movie gets its title from the "game" the twentysomethings play: a combination of "mafia" and manhunt with some brutality tossed in. What was a party full of vapid people, TikTok dances, and cocaine use turns bloodily serious. Secrets are exposed and, as in true horror movie fashion, it's only a matter of time before a character leaves the room, when something terrible happens and the slashing begins. It's a wild journey that doesn't shy away from bloody gore, and the ending delivers. Part of what makes this movie worth a trip to the big screen is the cinematography. Any successful horror movie has to be shot well and Jasper Wolf (Monos) elevates the film. Working in tandem with Reijn, they deliver more than a few "how did they do that?" moments, and anyone who loves horror and sees it in the theater will be as impressed with the camera angles and the evocative tone as the film itself. Produced by A24, a company that aims to elevate horror and has taken audiences on some of the strangest recent horror offerings (Midsommar, Lamb), an audience expects some sort of twisted moral, lesson, or warning. And that is that without Wi-Fi access, our society might just devolve into a place where spoiled rich kids could just kill their friends when they should just enjoy a weekend at the pool.
