10 Horror Movies Where You Wanted EVERYONE To Die

4. Bodies Bodies Bodies

Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2022 Leatherface
A24

For those who complained that Bodies Bodies Bodies had a desperate shortage of sympathetic or even basically likeable characters, that was precisely the point.

This delicious satire of Gen-Z narcissism is entirely about a group of insufferably self-involved young people whose kneejerk paranoia causes them to begin killing one another after one of their number turns up dead.

Even the less-obnoxious characters have deep personality flaws which make it tough to root enthusiastically for their ongoing survival, and ultimately it's just a ton of fun to see their tenuous friendships quickly dissolve amid bloodshed.

Greg (Lee Pace) is probably the most "innocent" party here, though it's certainly easy to give him the side-eye given that he's hanging out with a group of people almost two decades his junior, one of whom he's dating. Not a murder-worthy offense by any means, but sus to an extent.

All the same, it's tough to feel bad for anyone who dies in this movie, and that's the filmmaking working precisely as intended.
