IMDb plot summary: When a group of rich 20-somethings plan a hurricane party at a remote family mansion, a party game turns deadly in this fresh and funny look at backstabbing, fake friends, and one party gone very, very wrong.
Directed by Halina Reijn. Starring Amandla Stenberg, Maria Bakalova, and Myha'la Herrold.
Bodies Bodies Bodies is a horror comedy about a group of friends spending a weekend at their cabin in the woods who begin to be murdered one by one. This movie got a lot of attention for being EXTREMELY gen Z, and it absolutely is, from the slang to the ever present social media to the constant clarification that people are on the right side of social issues, and while it's lampooning all that, it doesn't feel like it's doing it in a mean-spirited way. Instead, it just ends up being a funny, dark horror comedy, and some of the final climactic scenes where characters learn the truth about each other are truly hilarious. And I'm quite pleased with the way that it ended -- it all just made sense. A fun ride, if one that sometimes feels "a little much," but it wouldn't at all be the same movie if you toned it down.
