Description: When a group
of rich 20-somethings plan a hurricane party at a remote family mansion, a
party game turns deadly.
Review: Blindly attacking someone on social media can sometimes turn out wrong
when you misjudged your target and motivation. “Bodies Bodies Bodies” takes that
concept, and turns it into a slasher film.
A group of boozing and coke
snorting twenty-somethings gather at a rich father’s mansion to party while a hurricane
rages outside. Someone suggests they play a game called bodies bodies bodies
bodies. A game where someone is supposedly the killer and the rest have to
guess who. They know from experience the game usually leads to arguments, but
they decide to play it anyways. When one of them is really found dead, no one
knows who to trust and who not.
The Dutch Halina Reijn, an actress
(stage and film), directs this slasher. And she focuses on the acting, instead
of the cinematography, exciting or iconic scenes. And the performers go wild. It’s
a low-budget film (by Hollywood standards), but that doesn’t really show. Pete
Davidson is the only one that really doesn’t do anything special, the rest of
the cast is really strong actually.
Every single characters in
this movie is unlikeable, each for a different reason. And that makes this slasher
even more interesting. The plot isn’t the most inventive of plots, but the
eventual reveal at the end, makes everything that happened even more crazy and
made the film better. The film is not predictable and it’s a great first step
for Halina Reijn directing a Hollywood-film.
Rating: 3,5/ 5
