24. Bodies Bodies Bodies

Hellraiser Pinhead
A24

Easy though it is to cringe at the focal characters and their frenzied manner of speaking in Halina Reijn's delicious horror-comedy Bodies Bodies Bodies, that's precisely the point.

A ferociously unrestrained satire of Gen-Z - depicted here as both as admirably sensitive and terminally tethered to their phones - Bodies Bodies Bodies manages to poke fun at Zoomers yet in a way that doesn't feel especially mean-spirited.

Between the savagely catty dialogue and excellent performances from the ensemble cast - especially rising star Rachel Sennott - this is frothy good fun with just enough smarts to differentiate it from other blackly comedic teen slashers.

Bodies Bodies Bodies is out now.
