Bodies, Bodies, Bodies
2022
Chappaqua, New York
Halina Reijn
Gen Z Slasher Suspense
What’s it all about: Instead of getting killed for being sexy, like they did in the classics, these kids die for more of a Willie-Wonka list of self-involved reasons. If you enjoy rich-kid frenemy probs, and think a 6-week relationship is worthy of being put to a life-and-death test, Pete Davidson says come on over.
First Encounter: first viewing
Prostitute Index: nil
Death By: McMansion balcony railing
Relics: neutered smartphones
Hoops: a killer is loose and the power is out and the car won’t start and the storm has knocked out phone service; splitting up to get killed; having a podcast
Heartthrob: Rachel Sennott
Pass/Fails the Test of Time: the soundtrack
LoFi Magic: a deep 20s struggle over the phone instead of the gun
Words to live by: “Shut the fuck up, Alice!”
Makes me want to: give up on the genre
Candotti Take: “We Still Don’t Know What We Have Done in the Hamptons. - That’s the title of this movie.”
Worth a watch/rewatch: No
