Horror fans every so often the slasher genre needs a film to change the game just to keep things from going stale. Well while the film that im about to review for you all today certainly isn't that film it does try it's best to change the game for the slasher genre and in this day and age with so few slasher films being made and released that right now is the best that can do and so then join me as I review the film that might very well be first meh film for A24 Pictures with the film in question being called simply just "Bodies Bodies Bodies" enjoy.
The plot of this film is when a group of spoilt rich teenagers arrive at a house for a party all of the teens starts getting killed of and it's up to the teens to find out which one among them s the killer. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad with this film being self-aware enough to pull of a plot as cliched as what this one is in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this film is former The Hunger Games star Amandla Stenberg as Sophie and Borat Subsequent Moviefilm breakout star Maria Bakalova as Bee. Also starring in this film is Myha'la Herrold as Jordan , Chase Sui Wonders as Emma , Rachel Sennott as Alice , The Hobbit and Captain Marvel and Guardians Of The Galaxy star Lee Pace as Greg , Pete Davidson as David and Conner O'Malley as Max.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With actress Rachel Sennott getting alot of praise from the critics and rightfully so as she is a joy to watch in this film with both her and this films cast turning in some really good performances in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Unlike They/Them this film really does take full advantage of the fact that it's parodying this generation. Which does make this film pretty funny however alot of this films jokes just aren't that funny and where as They/Them wasn't trying to be funny but ended up being unintentionally funny this film is trying to be funny and while it does succeed some of time it fails alot of the time as well with alot of this films jokes just being painfully unfunny and just straight up bad jokes in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Even if your meant to be making fun of a group of people you still need to make those people that your making fun of actually likable. Which is something that this film fails to do at all since alot of this films main cast of characters are really unlikable characters which resulted in my openly cheering when they died which is something that you should never want to be the case as you should always want to see the characters survive and so then when your cheering when they die then you've done something really wrong in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
I can't say why this is the case but Amandla Stenberg's character in this film does something that makes her rather unlikable and what she does she also make her rather unforgivable. However the filmmakers expect us to like this character and to root for this character which given what she does to another character makes that next to impossible to do and this is just one example of why making all of your characters seem rather unlikable only serves to hurt your film and not help your film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
To me this film tries to be alot like both Tucker & Dale vs. Evil and any of the Scream films for reasons that I cannot say without going into spoilers. However this film doesn't understand what made those elements work in the first place and so then it just comes as being a half baked which is a shame because those elements are really good ideas and in the case of Tucker & Dale vs. Evil can lead to some really good laughs but you have understand what made those elements work in the first place and like I just said that's something that the makers of this film just didn't bother to do in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and twenty eight minuets and twenty one seconds. Which is kind of exactly how long I expected this film to last since alot of slasher films don't typically last that long and those that do usually have a good reason to last as long as they do in the first place and it really does help that this film really doesn't have alot there in terms of either freaking plot or story to cover a really long time in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
So now then since this is meant to be a slasher film that means that I have to actually talk about the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. However alot of this films kills do feel rather tame which for a slasher film is something that you never want to be the case since the kills are always meant to be the selling point of your slasher film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall this film is such a huge let down which is such a shame because it could have worked and on paper it's a film that could or perhaps even should have worked in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 6 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because of the fact Google Images actually has alot of images from this film up on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all fairly high quality and as well as being as fairly high definition and so then horror fans we ends this review as we always freaking do with our one and true freaking goddess Elvira wishing us all some very freaking unpleasant dreams indeed.
