Bodies Bodies Bodies, is Boring Boring Boring

When I saw the trailers for this film I thought it would be trash and that's exactly what I was given. The only reason I watched this film was because of the positive ratings it's currently receiving on IMDb and Letterboxd, so I thought maybe I'm wrong and being an A24 fan I wanted to be. But dear God was this film so unbelievably boring, the worst A24 film I've ever seen.

This will be quick as I literally didn't like anything about this film, the characters are absolutely annoying. They are incredibly unlikeable and nothing about them is interesting. The "story" is boring bordering on nonexistent. I know it's satirical but it's boring, uninteresting, and terrible.

The only thing that wasn't straight trash were the performances which were passable at best. I will mention Maria Bakalova as Bee and Lee Pace as Greg in a positive light as they were the only likeable characters. In the end all this film did for me was fortify how annoying I find this generation to be.

If this film is supposed to be comedy it's not funny, if it's supposed to be horror it's not scary, if it's supposed to be a slasher the kills are boring, if it's supposed to be a thriller it's sure as hell not thrilling. The films conclusion is damn near a slap in the face, to suffer the one hour and 34 minute run time which felt like two hours and for it to all literally be for nothing was insulting. Perhaps that's the point to show how desperate and unpredictable people get during moments of crisis. All I could think after that reveal was "Good lord all of this for nothing" it was an absolute waste of time. The only good thing about that ending was how possible and true it could be to life.

This was a huge swing and a miss for A24 I don't understand how or why they would produce such trash. Oh well it's not for me simple as that, if the rest of you like it then I'm happy for you.

IMDb: 1/10 Letterboxd: 1/5

A suspenseful, pleasantly different who-dunnit

I liked it. Yes, it's a bit talkative, but that didn't really bother me, since the dialogues are pleasantly sharp and added wonderfully to the toxic and ominous atmosphere of mutual suspicion between this group of (supposed) friends. The settings (a luxurious villa, thunder and lightning, lights falling out, etcetera) are of course über-cliché, but somehow it all felt fresh and very convincing, helped by an evident tongue-in-cheek vibe. The story was well written, there is no real gore, but a lot of genuine suspense, and I loved the surprising (and cynical) twist at the very end. The acting in this kind of movies usually doesn't have the highest priority, but here it was actually pretty good.

An Average Thriller/Comedy with an Above Average Twist

When A24 released the first trailer for one of their newest films, Bodies Bodies Bodies, I wasn't sure what to make of it. It felt almost like Scream, but with a modern spin, and while I can say it's not that, this is an enjoyable film if you know what you're in for. It won't be for everyone though, as this film is loaded with subject matter that will turn certain viewers off. All I will say is that it's worth watching, even if you're not enjoying yourself and I'll explain why. You don't have to rush out and see Bodies Bodies Bodies, but here's why it's worth a watch.

During a hurricane, a group of young adults party in their friend's mansion, while doing drugs and drinking a lot of alcohol. Not in their right mind, they decide to play a game that requires the skill of trying to find the killer. Things go very wrong though when one of them actually turns up dead. Trying to figure out who the killer is, this group lets out many bottled-up emotions and continuously backstab each other. This makes for some entertaining scenes of heavy dialogue, but it also works against the film in my opinion. The banter/arguing between characters is nearly half of what this film is, but I get that it was meant to be tongue and cheek. It just didn't quite do it for me all the time. In fact, if it wasn't for the ending, I'm not even sure I'd be talking highly about this film at all.

About halfway through the film, I wasn't even sure who to root for, even though I knew which characters the film wanted me to care about the most. The mystery always kept me on the edge of my seat, having no idea who the killer was, but I also wasn't sure I even cared that much. With that said, the way this film wraps up is one of my favourite few minutes of the year. Yes, I loved the ending that much. The issue is though, I don't think the rest of the film was enjoyable enough to say that I loved it overall. I will gladly watch this film over and over again with people who haven't seen it though. This is the type of film that has a reveal that comes out of nowhere and I couldn't get enough of it.

Overall, Bodies Bodies Bodies has some fun dialogue and Halina Reijn's directing work (which I have yet to see, until now) was also very commendable. It's just a fun horror/comedy that's not supposed to be taken as anything more. If it was that from start to finish, I'd barely give this film a pass because I just mildly enjoy myself. Again though, it's all about that ending for me. When the film finished, I thought back through the film and it worked a lot better for me. Some people may not like it as much as I did, but I wanted to stand up and cheer for the writers on this one, Sarah DeLappe crafted one hell of a twist. Bodies Bodies Bodies is now playing in select theatres, and while I do recommend it, this can easily be watched at home.

I like that Bride of Cheeky uses slurs and insults no one has ever heard of. Like we don't know our 'Shyt from Soap?" What does that mean? Is "she" 60? Is 'she' actually affilitated with making this? If Pete Davidson is in it, that's how I know it's bad.

So, a few obnoxious whiners are complaining their comments are being removed. Maybe, just maybe, somebody is telling them to "Shut the F___ UP"!

This movie had so much potential in the beginning and they fumbled the bag. Watching this movie was like getting a fart in the face. The suspense falls flat and the ending was horrible lazy. None of the loose ends were ever tied up. Not sure why it's marketed as a comedy/horror. Nothing about the movie was funny, like at all. Even the outtakes (which are by nature funny) was just a series of alt scenes with 0 comedy. Horror? Barely... this is a pure thriller that stops thrilling after the first 20 mins.

@BrideOfCheekyBugger, you are so predictably text book in your responses that I'm beginning to think you are actually a rationally sane person being ironic... If so, just a tip, you are going full ret*rd. Never go full ret*rd.

Judging by the negative comments by all the usual Neanderthals that can't tell the difference between sh!t and soap saying it's cr@p coz it's too 'woke' for them, I'd say it's a fair bet that this might be worth watching! :)
