There’s a certain cruelty that can come with being young, rich, and beautiful. No matter how inclusive and woke the group of frenemies in Bodies Bodies Bodies tries to make themselves seem, even they can’t deny what’s sitting just below the surface of their carefully-crafted facades. This cruelty is bound to come out, despite the group’s best attempts to keep it all under wraps. Repressing your true feelings under the guise of keeping up with social mores is a great set-up for a horror movie, but a comedy too. Thankfully there’s plenty of suspense and laughs in this slasher-comedy from Halina Reijn, and how could there not be? It’s hard not to laugh when characters call each other out for being ableist (or ignoring the group chat) while their friends are littered around them, lying in pools of blood.
We meet this particularly toxic friend group through Bee (Maria Bakalova). She’s dating Sophie (Amandla Stenberg), and they’re both en route to David’s (Pete Davidson) parents’ megamansion to meet up with the rest of Sophie’s friends for a hurricane party. It’s clear from the beginning of the movie that Bee and Sophie’s relationship is very new, setting the tone for the social tensions that will hit a boiling point later on in the movie.
