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.

I have to be completely honest with you all here…

I really wasn’t interested in watching this film at all, I’d seen the trailer and thought to myself that it was another stereotypical teen slasher, a film I’d seen a thousand times. Also I’m at a point in my life where I feel like I’m too old for these types of flicks now.

Then one night I couldn’t think of anything to watch and this was suggested so I thought why not, might as well give it a try. I mean I’ve seen plenty of Horror films that I didn’t enjoy, this could just be one to add to the list if it’s no good like I expected.

Well thankfully I was wrong. I know, I was shocked too. Whilst the plot admittedly one we’ve seen a million times before I still found myself enjoying it and I have to give huge kudos to the writers for that as they penned a fun and suspenseful whodunit.

Sometimes we need to be reminded that we don’t have to take everything so seriously all the time and just switch off every once in a while and just have fun, well this film does exactly that whilst also being an entertaining feature.

Surprisingly “Bodies Bodies Bodies” turned out to be an entertaining watch, sure it’s very much a popcorn flick but a fun one at that, even if it’s just for a one time watch.

Miscellaneous facts about the film:

For sabering-the-champagne-bottle, Lee Pace admitted that he practiced for the feat at home using Thranduil’s sword from his time in The Hobbit (2012) film series.

As the film takes place almost exclusively in a dark mansion with the only source of light being cellphones, a headlamp, and glow tubes, the cast had to be instructed on how to light the scene and themselves from cinematographer Jasper Wolf. Wolf proclaimed If any of the cast missed their timing the scene was unusable as all you would see is dark silhouettes.

Amandla Stenberg messaged New York Times film critic Lena Wilson after Wilson called the film a “95-minute advertisement for cleavage” in her review, saying, “Ur review was great, maybe if you had gotten your eyes off my tits you could’ve watched the movie.”

The name of the movie and the game played in the movie are based on a commonly played Improv Game called Body Body (or Murder In The Dark) where players run around in a dark room while the murderer “kills” players by tapping them, hoping to get away with killing the entire group.

In an interview with the director, the source of light each character uses is symbolism for their personality. Bee has her phone strapped to her hip showing her selflessness for helping her mother and others, Jordan uses a headlamp showing her spotlight for no-nonsense confrontation, Alice covers herself in glow tubes showing her desire to be liked and the center of attention, Emma never uses a light showing her desire to be introverted. However, Greg and David are never shown to use any light.
