Happy spooky season everybody! I’ve started off this October very strong, and have a bunch of horror movies under my belt already.

With that being said, we’re gonna start off with the review of the A24 horror comedy, Bodies, Bodies, Bodies.

Let me start by saying that I did enjoy this movie. I watched it with Liz, and we both found ourselves deeply discussing the plot while laughing throughout the movie. It’s a good watch for date night.

I do like that the characters don’t take themselves so seriously and that we don’t really get a lot of backstory in the beginning. We get more as the movie goes on. The dialogue is great and the actors do an amazing job at portraying Gen-Z millionaires.

The movie takes place in this giant mansion where these group of friends are having a hurricane party. Sophie, played by Amandla Stenburg, and Bee, played by Maria Bakalova, are girlfriends. Sophie wants Bee to meet her friends so they show up to the party.

After an awkward arrival, where it seems that Sophie’s friends didn’t expect the couple to show up, they head inside as the storm rolls in.

They decide to pass some time with drinking and games. Sophie asks to play a game called “bodies bodies bodies”. Basically, they pass pieces of paper but only one paper has an “x”. If you get the paper with the “x”, you are the killer. You need to keep your identity as the killer a secret. You have to “kill” people silently while trying to stay alive to the end of the game. Think of the game Among Us, Ultimate Werewolf, or Mafia.

They turn off all the lights in the mansion and spread out to begin the game.

Unfortunately, during the game, someone actually turns up dead for real. They have to figure out who the killer is, as bodies keep dropping one by one. It’s a whodunit type of movie.

The cast is great and the pacing is good. This was my first watch and I loved the ending.

Gotta shout out my best friend, Scott, for letting me use his Vudu account to get these reviews out. I appreciate you.

As far as my Spooky rating, I give it a two out of five.
