Things take a turn for the worse when real bodies start turning up, setting off a paranoid and dangerous chain of events. Bodies Bodies Bodies opens, in fact, with just two bodies: Bee (Maria Bakalova) and Sophie (Amandla Stenberg) are locked in a tongue-swirling, lip-biting kiss, surrounded by trees, birdsong and other signs of a world unplugged. When morning comes and the storm has blown over, Sophie tearfully confesses to Bee that she relapsed and witnessed Emma tripping and falling down the stairs to her death. Relationships can be complicated,” explains one of the characters in Bodies Bodies Bodies, director Halina Reijn’s wickedly funny whodunit set on a dark and stormy night in the mansion of a rich kid where a group of twenty-something friends have turned up to party.

How do you solve a problem like microplastics – tiny particles created for commercial use or broken down from discarded single-use items in the environment – and mitigate their impact on delicate marine ecosystems? In many ways it’s very generic, and does occasionally descend into a flurry of online buzzwords, but the performances are memorable and the film does a good job of mocking the very generation it’s representing, and the perpetually online culture they’ve found themselves wrapped up in. For instance, were they being hunted by the likes of Jason or Michael Myers, the audience would likely cheer on the killer. If one was looking for a quick and easy catch-all to represent the group, look no further than Jean Ralphio’s description of his sister in Parks and Recreation: “She’s the wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooorst!IndieWire said they “just love the idea that without wifi, we'd all descend into murder,” as if we didn't already know what kinda film to expect. At the top of the bill, Halina Reijn’s Bodies Bodies Bodies is looking to curry favour with devotees of black comedy horror, and the director is pulling out all of the stops in her English-language debut. This mostly self-centred cast of characters would be completely unbearable if not for the talented cast playing them for laughs and Sarah DeLappe’s satirical screenplay.

Ultimately, Roupenian was given a "Story by" credit for her work on the film's screenplay, while The Wolves playwright Sarah DeLappe received sole, final "Screenplay by" credit. Foreigner Bee has already felt out of place among Sophie’s small group of rich friends including podcaster Alice and her spacey forty-something boyfriend Greg, the stand-offish Jordan, Sophie’s childhood friend David and his actress girlfriend Emma. This is a toxic environment, not just because Sophie, fresh out of rehab, is now surrounded by copious quantities of booze and coke and edibles and Xanax, but also for the tangled, often fraught history she shares with affluent, obnoxious David (Pete Davidson), scatty Alice (Rachel Sennott), approval-seeking actress Emma (Chase Sui Wonders) and class-conscious Jordan (Myha’la Herrold). The cast do an excellent job of playing a group of largely insufferable young people who all, except one, come from wealthy backgrounds.

When a group of rich 20-somethings plan a hurricane party at a remote family mansion, a party game goes awry in this fresh and funny look at backstabbing, fake friends, and one party gone very, very wrong. com in an exclusive interview, director Halina Reijn revealed that those similarities were entirely coincidental. Sure enough, for all the paranoia-inducing tensions, brutal recriminations and bloody body count of Bodies Bodies Bodies, it is also very funny, nailing with every perfectly pitched line of dialogue these characters’ vanity, viciousness and vapidity. Focusing on working-class Bee as she struggles first to find her place in this dysfunctional coterie and then to survive the night, Reijn’s second feature (following Instinct, 2019) plays out as both parlour game and murder mystery.
