    It was little better than ok
    I kinda enjoyed it. I'm a fan of teen horror and even more of mystery game nights. And the movie was just that. There were not jumpscares or horror movie cliche stuff and the writing wasn't bad. I liked the mysterious vibe that the movie offered and all of that was a big misunderstanding which brang many existing problems on the surface amnd many others arised afterwards.

    In my opinion, I liked the fact that no one was the killer and we didn't have the cliche big reveal at the end but instead the first guy killed himself in a stupid way cause he wanted to be a badass (which is stupid btw) and he was jealous of the other guy.

    Good story, chilling movie.

    don't waste your time
    Fooled by TikTok hype, I endured Bodies Bodies Bodies, a film that's as exciting as scrolling through social media while waiting for a zoom lecture to end. Marketed as a Gen Z masterpiece, it falls flat with characters that are so uninspired, Jojo Siwa's new single karma becomes the pinnacle of creativity. Not even the late-game action scenes could salvage the mind-numbing boredom that preceded them. Watching this film felt like a test of patience and intelligence, both of which it failed miserably. Don't waste your time; this movie is a perfect plan if you want to torture your senses.

    The creators of this film haven't met a real person in their lifetime.

    Bodies of stupidity
    "Bodies Bodies Bodies" is a baffling journey through the depths of stupidity, leaving audiences speechless with its mind-boggling portrayal of nonsensical characters. From start to finish, viewers are left wondering: how could these girls be so remarkably, absurdly dense? The film's premise alone raises eyebrows, but it's the sheer level of idiocy displayed by its protagonists that truly astounds. One is left questioning why such a film was even made, featuring characters whose decisions defy logic at every turn. In short, "Bodies Bodies Bodies" is a testament to the bewildering depths of human foolishness, leaving audiences scratching their heads in disbelief.

    I have never hated characters so much in a movie.

    What am I supposed to get out of this?
    A bunch of uppity, vapid gen-Z dorks scream buzzwords at each other for 90 minutes while making the literal worst decision possible at every turn.

    For whom was this movie made? Judging from the basically all-female cast, female writer and female director, I expected some kind of point to be made, be it feminist or otherwise. The trailers had me curious about how they would subvert the tropes and cliches being spouted by the characters. Spoiler alert: nothing is subverted. Every single character is a charisma vacuum, an entitled brat with zero empathy. Everyone hates each other. So what's the point? The thread of this movie seems almost explicitly anti-woman; "overreact, get jealous, stop thinking, escalate, overreact, scream and whine". If this were written by a man, it would've been viewed as perpetuating the most obscene female stereotypes imaginable.

    I won't talk about the plot, because there is none. I caught the basic gist of the twist 20 minutes into this ridiculously stretched out and padded film, which plods along through a single act at a snail's pace. The music is overcompensating and the movie is filled with dumb errors and oversights, like the constant inclusion of "exit"-signs (in a private house?), a mirror light draining a car battery that still has a horn, a floor plan that seems to change very five minutes... the only thing I really enjoyed was Bakalova's acting, which was pretty solid.

    I don't understand the hype. I just watched a plotless anti-woman cliche for 90 minutes. I want my time back.

    Fully realized concept and I loved it
    'Bodies, Bodies, Bodies' is a horror comedy satire that's structured like a slasher flick with an interesting premise, a sharp script and a talented cast which helps this concept feel fully realized. Even the production is stellar with amazing sound designs, creative lighting and fantastic cinematography which adds atmosphere and tension to the flick.

    The plot = The movie starts off with a group of rich 20-something friends planning a hurricane party at one of their remote mansion's. They decide to play a murder mystery type game, but before long the game becomes all too real.

    This movie completely took me off guard as I was expecting something more along the lines of a straight up slasher movie and honestly, I was pleasantly surprised as firstly this movie was hilarious with several funny lines and cringey dialogue moments where these characters attempt to be woke or insightful but comes across as vapid and narcissistic. I don't normally care for these types of socially conscious horror movies with unlikeable characters, but here I was completely invested, thanks to the unique mystery concept and excellent direction by Halina Reijn whose execution helps make this an engaging experience, especially towards the clever twist ending which really elevated this to true greatness.

    The performances here are fantastic, okay the characters are unlikeable for the most part but that's kinda the point. Maria Bakalova is perfectly cast as Bee the outsider of the group, giving an understated yet incredible performance and perhaps one of the only likeable characters in this flick. Amandla Stenberg gives a strong and fully realized performance as the former addict Sophie. Chase Sui Wonders is top notch as the nice yet vapid budding actress Emma. Lee Pace really shines as Greg the mature sexy guy of the group, he gives an interesting sense of mystery as one of the calmer members of the group. Rachel Sennott is a firm standout as the bubbly yet insecure Alice her performance is easily one of the best and memorable. Myha'la Herrold is excellent as Jordan the confrontational one of the group and really excels as the movie progresses. Then there's Pete Davidson as David who was actually really decent in his role and creates a memorable impression.

    Overall 'Bodies, Bpdies, Bodies' may be polarizing to some people due to the social media commentary, but personally I enjoyed it, sure it's a bit uneven a times but there's enough drama and excitement going on to keep you invested.

    I wouldn't call this comedy nor horror. Drama...Maybe
    What was the idea for the script? Write a script that incorporates every annoying liberal ideology possible? I love the one quote...Are there guns in the house? No Davis is a dick but his politics are good. That sums up the type of movie you are watching. I was hoping a tree would have fallen and taken the last of them out.

    Lesbian couple...check. Black/white couple...check...You get a twofer with the same couple. Hairy armpits lesbian girl...Check...This is different then the other two. Comment about guns...check. And on and on.

    Since they didn't kill everyone they could have at least had the last two arrested and tossed into jail. I am really at a loss for words on how to describe how annoying this is. Someone called this a tiktok movie. That would be closer than the comedy/horror category they put this in. Now if this had some comedy then I could forgive all the issues because it was trying to be funny. Well, since they called this a comedy they must have tried but failed miserably. You want a real horror comedy then watch something like Shaun of the Dead. Yeah...if anyone mentions this movie which I doubt I will use the tiktok calamity movie as the description.

    For what it's worth, I actually really wanted these characters to die
    Bodies Bodies Bodies has been called a lot of things: a "fever dream whodunnit", a Zoomer version of And Then There Were None, "Agatha Christie's Euphoria", and "A24's Among Us".

    I understand if none of that sounds appealing. And indeed, there's a lot of obnoxiously "hip" music and the cast of air-headed 20-year-olds will be exasperating to some. Nevertheless the characters all seem real, as does the tension between them that gets worse and worse following a mysterious murder, and the music does fit the deceptively inviting house party setting -- and is thankfully interspersed with a lovely score by vintage synth maestro Disasterpeace (Under the Silver Lake).

    The cast is comprised of recognizable faces (Pete Davidson; Lee Pace), plus such Gen-Z neophytes as Maria Bakalova (Borat Subsequent Moviefilm) and Rachel Sennott (Shiva Baby). The actors all do great and the characters, as mentioned, seem decently real, sans one scene near the end where the screenwriter (whose age isn't listed on IMDb but I doubt she hails from Gen Z herself) relentlessly machine-guns every "Zoomerism" she could conceive of -- a character giving a lecture on white male privilege right in the middle of a chaotic murder scenario; characters calling one another "toxic", "triggering", and finally "ableist" once the term "psychopath" is used; a brief competition on who has the most pitiable mental illness; a screed about the hard work of podcasting, etc.

    The film saved itself from a negative rating when things got moving again and we finally got to its twist, which is one of the most delightfully cruel in the history of the whodunnit movie. Of course, the film also looks wonderful throughout, making good use of color, its primary setting, and above all else, darkness.
