B.A.D. Movie of the Week: Bodies Bodies Bodies

Bodies Bodies Bodies (2022)

Directed by Halina Reijn

Story by Kristen Roupenian

Screenplay by Sarah DeLappe

Stars: Amandla Stenberg, Maria Bakalova, Myha'la Herrold, Chase Sui Wonders, Rachel Sennott, Lee Pace, Pete Davidson, and Conner O'Malley 

The only that I wanted to see this movie was because of Lee Pace shirtlessness, and possibly some gay shit happening. That did happen, but the other parts of the movie were inconsequential.

During a "hurricane party," a group of "friends" gather together for some odd reason. Things take a turn when during the aftermath of Bodies, Bodies, Bodies, one of the person turns up dead. The night descends into chaos.

The thing with satire is that you have to have compelling characters, an even tone, and tight pacing. Here you don't care about the characters. All of them are assholes. I wanted all of them to die. The tone of the movie was supposed to be horror and comedy. It failed on those aspects. The rhythm of the action was so slow that I was about to become a corpse during the runtime.

You can call me a boomer, but I don't care about the message about not emulating things on TikTok. Yeah, no. Sorry. Next!

Rating: 1/10
