Bodies Bodies Bodies: A24 slasher gets October Blu-ray and DVD release

A24 gave their satirical slasher Bodies Bodies Bodies (you can read our 8/10 review at THIS LINK) a wide theatrical release back in August, and now it has been announced that Bodies Bodies Bodies is heading to Blu-ray and DVD on October 18th – so it’s coming home just in time for Halloween. Copies are available for pre-order on Amazon.

A24 first purchased Kristen Roupenian’s Bodies Bodies Bodies spec script back in March of 2018. The script was said to show “heightened sensitivity to character development and social dynamics in a subversive way”, and was described as 

a shrewd character study where mystery and deep-seated scares blended in such a way that the company saw an opportunity to make a horror movie that could also be culturally relevant.

The script got some touch-up work from Sarah DeLappe, Chloe Okuno, Joshua Sharp, and Aaron Jackson in the time between acquisition when it went into production with Halina Reijn, who made her feature directorial debut with the 2019 Dutch thriller Instinct, at the helm. Roupenian receives story credit on the finished film, while DeLappe gets the screenplay credit.

Bodies Bodies Bodies has the following synopsis:

When a group of rich 20-somethings plan a hurricane party at a remote family mansion, a party game turns deadly in this fresh and funny look at backstabbing, fake friends, and one party gone very, very wrong.

Bodies Bodies Bodies stars Maria Bakalova (Borat Subsequent Moviefilm), Amandla Stenberg (The Hate U Give), Pete Davidson (The King of Staten Island), Rachel Sennott (Shiva Baby), Myha’la Herrold (Industry), Chase Sui Wonders (Generation), Conner O’Malley (Palm Springs), and Lee Pace (Guardians of the Galaxy).

Ali Herting and David Hinojosa produced the film, with Tatiana Bears and Lara Costa Calzado co-producing. Stenberg executive produced alongside Sebo Bear McClard, Dani Bernfeld, Sarah DeLappe, Christine D’Souza Gelb, and Jacob Jaffke.

I didn’t catch Bodies Bodies Bodies in the theatre, so I look forward to watching it at home in October. Will you be buying a copy of this movie? Let us know by leaving a comment below.
