10 Horror Movies That Are Way Better When You Already Know The Twist

Bodies Bodies Bodies kicks off with a group of zoomers having a drug-infested, booze-fuelled party in a remote mansion. Because a lot of the gang have beef with one another, tensions are very high from the get-go.

So, when the mansion's owner, David, is seemingly murdered, the friends are convinced the killer is among them. Within seconds, the friends are at each other's throats, dredging up one another's sins and secrets. As hysteria skyrockets, the former friends kill one another, until only Sophie and Bee remain.

But in the last two minutes, the pair discover David killed himself by accident, meaning all the backstabbing and killings were for nothing.

Even though this ending sounds anticlimactic, it perfectly demonstrates how quickly BFFs will betray one another to save their own skin.

When you rewatch a whodunnit, it normally lacks the same tension as before. But when you re-examine Bodies Bodies Bodies, you can't help feeling more tense, knowing the friends are slaughtering one another for nothing. Every time they call for blood, you want to scream at the characters, alerting them that there's no danger.
