BODIES BODIES BODIES (2022) COME WITH ME HORROR REVIEW / REACTION | Spoiler Free + Spoiler Section

[@Church1179]

It's literally the ending/twist that makes the film. Was absolutely gobsmacked, biggest smile on my face once it cut to black and hit the credits.

[@Islington17]

Seriously loved this so much. Super dark humor and THAT ENDING had me dead. I laughed so hard and felt so satisfied.

[@Islington17]

This reminded me of a very heightened version of "All My Friends Hate Me" which I also liked.

[@seymourtoa]

Love your 'come with me' videos, especially with your grounded and awesome realistic reviews baked right in.

[@spookyastronauts]

Thank you so much

[@anniecoxdraws]

Emma I can always count on you to have the most grounded take on things. You know how to put things plainly and also describe things so perfectly and naturally. I just love how you can be like “these people are idiots, have fun” one moment and then describe something as “raw polish” the next. And it all flows together perfectly lol, it’s great, your reviews are top notch and I always trust your taste.

[@rhea-vdb]

Funny thing, the ending saved the entire movie for me, at that moment it made me enjoy everything that happened before.

[@madstylesnz]

That’s why I feel a movie’s ending is the most important part, it’s where it leaves you.

[@rattybabby]

I agree fully. Just saw it last night.

[@TheQuietRiotProductions]

I went to see this on $3 movie nights and the theatre was packed. It really made for an enjoyable experience. If you want to escape into something silly this is a good one to do that with. It doesn’t take itself too seriously either. Also, the mystery element was done very well and that surprised me.

[@mr705yesplease]

Loved this film! I was quaking when I heard Slayyyter and Charli XCX

[@ughblenders]

When they played 212 by Azalea Banks... Perfect. A call back to a viral video of Rachel Sennott pre Shiva Baby. She was absolutely hilarious in this movie.

[@stevenvo1999]

Saw Bodies Bodies Bodies last night at the Sydney Underground Film Festival. Totally worth seeing with a big audience to laugh and gasp with. It was a great experience, and honestly was one of my favourite films of the year.

[@danielsweet858]

A24 movies have hit the big time! My local Walmart now has a separate section for their movies (Shudder originals too). One of the few stores with great horror sections!🎃

[@michasmentions]

This was my pick for most anticipated film of the summer and it delivered for me! I am exactly the age group of the cast so they felt way real to me as a result. This is a "buying on blu-ray immediately" type of movie and I'm really looking forward to my next watch of it. Great review, Emma!

[@8teenOfficial]

I can totally compare it to Tucker & Dale vs. Evil where characters were not thinking straight

[@danifrommidsommar8653]

I really liked this one, especially the ending reveal. I had the same reaction as you when they found the phone and i realized what had really happened. Glad you finally got to see it (very jealous about the glowsricks at your event lol)

i love watching your videos. i lived in Perth back in 2011 and its fun to see the cinemas I've been to :)

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@FlameRyukin]

🥳🥳🥳 Edit: Whoa , I wish we got glow sticks for our showing ! That’s kinda cool !

[@thequestion4818]

I loved how this movie was a metaphor for cancel culture. Were so quick to villianize and attack each other, even people we consider friends. 100% of the death in this movie could have been avoided had everyone been honest and upfront about their feelings and mistakes

[@Themastermindscanvas]

100% except for that 1st kill

[@thequestion4818]

@@Themastermindscanvas even Pete's death. Had he apologized to Lee Pace for punching him and explain he felt was jealous of the attention he was getting they could have made up. That's why that one dude shows up at the end, he punched Pete the night before and came back to apologize. He wasnt toxic and he knew he needed to step away, that's why he survived.

[@beargoesboom]

oo ! so excited to hear your thoughts on this one !!

[@Nexils]

Saw it yesterday, so this video's upload moment could not be more perfect 🤩 I saw Orphan First Kill right before and although I enjoyed that one more, Bodies Bodies Bodies stayed floating around my head longer. I generally liked it, although the verbal fighting was acted so phenomenally, it got dragged out and annoying at certain parts. But when the reveal happened all the negative feelings were magically washed away and I thought it was so fun and well done.

[@elestrabicodebellavista]

Great job Emma... I really enjoyed this movie... It's not a crazy comedy, like *Clue* (1985) but it has just the right touch of dark humor...

[@loriisgorey]

It comes out this week in the UK too! Got my tickets booked for Monday.

[@maddygalloway4119]

Yesss. I saw a early screening of this so it feels like I've been waiting a million years to see what you think 😆

[@heatherbaker3903]

Such a fun movie! I had a blast. I'm 48, so I know I'm not the target audiences... but I didn't really notice throughout the movie. It was very accessible, really funny, fun and just a good time. As for the ending... I thought it was KILLER! I laughed SO HARD... the best part!

[@pookeywan]

I'm 44 and really didn't think this was going to be for me, but I absolutely loved it!!!

[@TheBman1023]

I loved this movie. The whole theater was CRACKING UP

[@GSnickerz]

The movie summed up a large issue that faces this generation and internet culture quite well: don’t make assumptions based off the first thing you see. Slow down and pair logic with communication, even while confronting something your passionate about or that is emotionally fueled, ya know? Funny and so so clever.

[@AlexanderBrando]

On paper he’s the most likely to be the killer! On paper?! 😂 yeah them jumping to conclusions was a great part of the satire.

[@Themastermindscanvas]

I saw this in the theatre opening night in the USA and had a lot of fun. This would be a great horror movie for people who are afraid of horror movies as it’s not gory and more silly if they can handle the annoying characters. Not to spoil anything, I knew the killer reveal right away and had a lot of other theories proven true. Despite this it was enjoyable and very cool looking.

[@Louise-wk5yf]

I'm loving their neon stick gimmick. ❤️

[@horrificbuu4446]

Wish I had the opportunity to watch it in theaters, but it wasn't playing in my local theater. Still look forward to watching.

[@manfromanotherworld]

I felt that as a satire of Gen Z the characters were too cliche to really land and it never really managed to ground their incomprehension in their self-absorption or their professed empathy as a mask for their own cruelty as a result. But as a black comedy murder mystery it really was fun. Also we call that game Murder in the Dark in the UK so was totally thrown by the title, whereas I guess Americans would have a heads up from it.

[@spookyastronauts]

We call it murder in the dark too!

[@maggiek2589]

Love your video, I am off to watch Jaws in local cinema 😁 way to excited

[@markaitkenguitar]

Knives Out meets Scream? Sounds pretty brilliant actually. Gen Z hit parade might not be my wheelhouse, but your review was still Fun! Fun! Fun! Thanks for the review. Very helpful to know what I’ll be getting myself into. I loved your scare-score tier list video!

[@here2swear]

❤️ Emma! Awesome video!

[@jeiangardoceagtas6524]

I absolutely loved this movie, and Ive seen it with my day who is not a fan of movies. However, he did love it and laughed at the end. Also, Alice really did carry this movie, that podcast scene is one of the most hilarious movie scene i have ever seen.

[@joeertman]

As a gen z, I can 150% confirm that these are accurate representations of our generation

[@spookyastronauts]

Hahahha

[@Deadlift4chips]

Sounds like the director kept it simple. Def will check it out.

[@elliotcleaver9087]

Really enjoyed this movie, the part where they’re discussing the podcast was hilarious. Also, need to see Rachel Sennott in more things!

[@stacey9730]

I loooovvve Pete Davidson , been following his career since he joined SNL in 2014. Will definitely be checking this one out

[@madstylesnz]

Quality horror flick this one, I agree with Emma that it’s a lot of fun. I just quite enjoyed the general plausibility of the whole setup which is missing from a lot of horrors. Loved the twist at the end, this film is an example of what I love about movies when film makers go for a type of genre and do it well.

[@kaylakinney5954]

My husband and I saw this when it came out in the US, and we were literally the only ones laughing in the theater!!!

[@LegoLad01]

Love it and i was surprised the Director is Dutch like me. She's a good actress as well, that did a bunch of horror/thriller roles. The end made it worth it to me. It reminded me a little of My Little Eye, Very bad things & The Last Supper for some reason.

[@johniguess4287]

This was my favourite movie of last year hands down

[@JustCallMeMeghan]

This has been on my radar, but not really on my list. But after your review, I think it should be added to my to watch list.

[@FloorAndPimMusic]

I loved this film a lot! Might actually be one of my favorites of this year. The ending of the movie (though polarizing probably haha) really drove the point of the movie home for me. On a surface level, this movie is hilarious and thrilling, but I think there’s still some messages in the way everything played out and even in how the film was lit. Glad to hear you liked it as well!

[@Sam_ijbol]

OMG WHAT A COINCIDENCE!!! I literally just came out of the cinema 5 minutes ago after watching bodies bodies bodies and i see ur review... how ironic I loved it I gave it 4/5

its finally came out for me today and im seeing it tomorrow im really excited for this movie been waiting for this movie to come out

[@jonsrecordcollection7172]

The game is very common in the United States, but I'm more familiar with it when it's called Mafia. In some variations, you have both a "murderer" and an "inspector"/"detective" character who has the job of catching the murderer. I think another name for the game is "werewolf," where instead of a "murderer" you have a "werewolf" who's supposed to turn everybody else into werewolves. So when Greg made werewolf sounds, I think he was trying to make a joke based on the name for the version of the game he was familiar with, [SPOILERS FOLLOW] but since none of the Gen Z'ers were familiar with that name for the game, he ended up spooking the women instead & it got him killed.

[@spookyastronauts]

We call it murder in the dark

Happy Friday happy weekend 💜👼🏻

[@miranda13c]

The ending was predictable (for me personally) by the time it actually showed what happened but it was absolutely hilarious and made sense considering the character and who portrayed that particular character. The stupidity of these characters was also what made it funny too.

[@isabellamorris7902]

Late but love this movie -- I became kind of obsessed with it before it came out. To the point that I figured the ending out before I saw it 😅 I like that it's surprisingly genuine and nuanced in its exploration of (what a lot of people would call) cancel culture. (SPOILERS) Sophie's issues with addiction and even the girls' fear of an older stranger in their house are treated with empathy, even if everything spirals wayyyyyy out of control. The characters make stupid decisions but none of them, except maybe one, exist to be punchlines. I loved the intricate dynamics between the characters, and how that propels the narrative more and more as the film goes on. I started off a big Jordan fan but slowly felt worse and worse for Alice as everyone kept patronising her

[@pattiray8542]

And another fabulous review from our friend Emma! I stopped before the spoilers because I really want to see this movie. On the whole I absolutely love A24, so I’m looking forward to it even more. Thanks! I’ll try and get back here with an opinion after viewing.

[@spookyastronauts]

Thank you!!!

[@BigBrianBruce]

It was k for me, I didn’t love it or hate but the ending saved the movie cause it made just realize how much everybody were a bunch of assholes to each other, also I wasn’t shocked but I kinda chuckled cause it was like “your a dumbass” moment I don’t know if I would buy it, but definitely worth watching at least once if you like the horror stuff

[@AnotherSadPeople]

The ending made the movie for me, i really enjoyed it. Spoilers : It's so funny how David's death was him trying to be like Greg (the ability to open the bottle with the saber) when in the beginning he kept antagonizing him, trying to be the "Alpha" but he was just insecure.

[@-Roos97-]

Yeah this!!! When Greg opens the bottle in the beginning, David is like, "Uh that's not that impressive." but he ends up wanting to do what Greg did haha, that made it even funnier!!

[@sador42]

I thought it was great, it was an innovative take on the 'slasher' and the ending was FANTASTIC. Incredibly fitting. It fooled me, I did not see that coming. I can't wait to see it again on streaming. I think I'd disagree about it not having a take, cause I think it has a strong take on GEN Z and some 'types' of people that do exist in real life. This is a mirror holding up to a generation of kids growing up on the internet and having incredible trust issues because of internet bullying and kind of how being mean on the internet has real life consequences. I do agree that this movie has incredibly dark humor and it is funny, but I think it does have a strong message if you look past the ending, cause that ending does seem like it makes everything that happened meaningless, when I think that is the point.

[@SarahRenniexoxo]

I've never laughed as much as I did at that ending in a loooong time!

[@PollyW326]

I love that you got glow sticks as you went in!! Also just call it "Bodies" like Sarah (Possessed by Horror) does. Haha!

[@defundhollywood3259]

I kind of feel that if you don't like this movie because you don't "get" the slang, how do you watch any horror movies from a different era? Don't they all kind of reflect what's relatable to young people at the time? It's one of the things I love about horror movies, how the archetypes are the same throughout the decades but they have to keep reinventing them to be trendy for each new generation of movie watchers. I loved how "2022" some of the dialogue was, it's like a time capsule to come back and watch in a decade or two.

[@rox_art89]

Loved the ending!!

[@jobutupacki6158]

I think when A24 had plans to make a murder mystery, they only wanted to add the gen z elements to make it seem original. Which I personally didn't really feel, just like you had said. Since it's a 94-minute film, I felt that there could have been a bit more tension with that atmosphere, so not really too scary for me. Anyway, great review Emma! Seems like you are hitting the jackpot with early screenings!

[@spookyastronauts]

Haha not early at all 🥲 it played last month in Melbourne. This is a very late screening.

[@jobutupacki6158]

@@spookyastronauts oh bummer, Australia really does get the lower hand in A24/ original movie theatrical releases

[@gusseDSX]

The biggest horror for gen-z : the wifi goes down and you can’t access social media. If this would have been a Blumhouse movie I don’t think I would have fellt let down, but it beeing a A24 made me assume it would be something ”more” than it is. That’s not the movies fault. It’s an ok movie. Though : the suspense didn’t work at all for me, and I pretty much hated most of the characters - but some of the humor/satire made me laugh though.

[@wandaaufderspringe2102]

Still can't see this movie! 😭😩 Want to watch it so bad I'm a huge fan of Lee Pace so I'm really curious what his role in this film is 😍

[@AlexanderBrando]

I loved it. I guessed the killer correctly but was still so satisfied to see it all play out. As for the girls being unbelievably mean to each other I think that’s kind of what it would look like if we pulled internet conversations into real life. Full of bitterness and buzz words lol Thoughtful, wonderful review as always!

[@chrisg8820]

I’ve been looking forward to this one for a while - day 1 watch when it hits digital

[@thehitherto5348]

I'm going to watch, but trailers have me worried. The characters all act and sounds like the kind of characters I want to die, and actually seeing them get theirs isn't the best motivation to watch a movie (seeing likeable characters getting killed, now that's another story...)

[@spookyastronauts]

If you don’t like annoying characters don’t watch it. That’s half the fun

[@dogface1911]

I thought there was enough satirical humor in it to offset the annoying characters. But I legit hated it until about the halfway mark. Then it kinda clicked and now it's one of my favorites of 2022

[@shanetheliver]

I really liked it a lot. The ending was silly, but it goes to show how the real horror was the hidden contempt and mistrust the characters had for one another. Their relationships were purely built on drugs and partying, so the fact that Sophie being the only sober one nearly led to her being accused of murder is kind of genius.

[@GregHuffman1987]

This is a fun movie, but I think the ending is pretty predictable. I have anecdotal evidence to back this up. When I watched this film, halfway through, I thought I was clever for predicting the ending. It turned out I wasn't clever as first, I watched it with my girlfriend, and at the same exact part I figured it out, she said it outloud. Then I asked someone to watch the movie, and they told me they guessed the ending too. Still a good movie, but it has to be great in spite of the twist. Or rather, the unpredictability of the twist, as I think the value of the twist is it's commentary on the people involved.

[@LiamLivesOn]

Personally I gave it a 5/10, Chloe gave it a 2 XD I personally loved the ending.

[@Sos4R4y]

Semi spoiler?? .... .... 15 minutes into the movie I had serious "Cry_Wolf" vibes. Even after David was found dead. And if not, then B was the killer. I would have been mad because that's been way over done. Then I remembered it was A24 which are usually good about unusual twists. I was somewhat bored through the first half and annoyed at a lot of parts (I mean that whole mental health thing.... I was ready for Alice to die just to stfu) but that ending.... Wow lmao. I'm going to have to have a re-watch soon.
