Pete Davidson’s new movie is a bloody horror show: ‘Bodies Bodies Bodies’
Has the “King of Staten Island” turned slasher?
Audiences in the upcoming Gen Z horror-comedy film “Bodies Bodies Bodies” until Aug. 5 — but its first trailer gives a pretty clear glimpse at the role .
The A24 film — helmed by actress-turned-director Halina Reijn — follows “a group of rich 20-somethings” throwing a party at a remote mansion during a hurricane where — of course — they have no cell service and play “bodies bodies bodies,” a pseudo murderous party game that turns deadly.
But unlike a typical slasher flick, this trailer is filled with microaggressions, triggering language, and pharmace🐲utical drugs along with Davidson 🦄truly being himself as a psychotic murderer runs free.
“That would be so f – – king obvious if I were the killer,” Davidson, who plays David, says in the trailer, later going on to explain his value to the group during the crisis.
“Well I just look like I f – – k, you know what I mean? I look like I f – – k and that’s the vibe I like to put out there,” he so elegantly says.
But Davidson is only one of the many “backstabbing, fake friends” — played by fellow stars Amandla Stenberg, Maria Bakalova, Myha’la Herrold, Chase Sui Wonders, Rachel Sennott and Lee Pace — who too are suspected of murder in the Gen Zers’ safe space.
Instead of workin♎g together to catch the killer, these privileged pals do something many in their generation view as worse than murder — use insensitive language.
“You’re always gaslighting me.” “You f – – king trigger me.” “You are so toxic.” “You’re silencing me!” They scream bloody murder at each other in the trailer.
“Bodies Bodies Bodies” will also feature a new Charli XCX song, “Hot Girl.”
