<\/p>\nIn Halina Reijn\u2019s Bodies Bodies Bodies,\u00a0 five 20-somethings gather at a \u201churricane party\u201d to see out an impending cyclone.<\/p>\n
The venue is David\u2019s (Pete Davidson) family\u2019s remote mansion. With the gathering underway, a couple of others walk in. Sophie (Amandla Stenberg) \u2013 David\u2019s childhood friend \u2013 has had a stint in rehab and has a new Russian girlfriend Bee (Maria Bacalova). Sophie has professed her love for Bee, even though they have only been together for a few weeks. While Bee is working class, the most at the party are doped-up rich kids with too much time on their hands. So, what could possibly go wrong? Everything. And before this is over they will have blood on their hands \u2026 and plenty of it.<\/p>\n

With the party under way, a game called Bodies Bodies Bodies – akin to the well-known Murder Party. It starts with tequila shots, followed by a hard slap on the face. Then the lights are turned off and they try to determine which one of them is a \u201cmurderer\u201d. But this time, the game turns deadly and everyone is under suspicion. Of course, all profess their innocence, but that doesn\u2019t stop the body count from growing. I recalled Agatha Christie\u2019s And Then There Were None.<\/p>\n
Aimed at a young adult audience, Bodies Bodies Bodies makes its mark. It\u2019s easy to dislike these people, but that\u2019s the point. Their behaviour \u2013 with David leading the way \u2013 hardly does any of them any favours. Most are constantly moaning and bitching. Each of the seven actors (who also include Myha’la Herrold, Rachel Sennott, Lee Pace and Conner O’Malley) are given their time to shine. They don\u2019t disappoint.<\/p>\n
