⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A24 strikes again with Bodies Bodies Bodies, a hilariously sharp and blood-soaked satire that takes Gen Z dynamics and spins them into a chaotic murder mystery. It’s equal parts biting social commentary and absurdly entertaining slasher fare.

What Works:

🔪Wickedly Clever Writing: The script is a masterclass in blending humour and horror, using buzzwords like “gaslighting,” “toxic,” and “triggering” to both parody and highlight generational quirks.
🔪A Stellar Ensemble Cast: Amandla Stenberg, Maria Bakalova, and Rachel Sennott are standouts in a cast that perfectly captures the chaotic energy of a group of frenemies stuck in a storm.
🔪Atmospheric and Stylish: The single-location setup (a lavish mansion during a hurricane) is brilliantly utilized, with moody lighting and a pulsating soundtrack that keep tensions high.
🔪Genre-Blending Fun: It’s not just a whodunit; it’s a biting commentary on privilege, performative wokeness, and the chaos of group dynamics in the social media age.

What Falls Short:

📱Not for Everyone: Its satire might feel too on-the-nose for some viewers, and those expecting a traditional horror might be left wanting more scares.
📱Pacing Dips: While the buildup is strong, the middle act occasionally loses momentum before a jaw-dropping finale.

Final Thoughts:

Bodies Bodies Bodies is a clever, chaotic, and darkly hilarious ride that turns the slasher genre on its head. It’s the perfect storm of satire and scares, with just enough self-awareness to keep things fresh. Whether you’re here for the drama, the blood, or the biting humour, this is a party worth crashing.
