Bodies etc. is a horror/comedy about a group of 20-somethings who gather at the mansion of their friend David (Pete Davidson) while his parents are away. As a hurricane approaches, the (Greenwich level) rich kids enjoy partying without adult interference. Until, that is, a party game goes terribly wrong, turning the wild weekend into a whodunit. We can’t give too much away, just that Swedish director Halina Reijn is excellent at updating a classic Agatha Christie mystery with an Instagram feel.
