Review of Bodies

Bodies (2016)
7/10
Better than I expected
22 January 2021
This is the story of two brothers, one clearly a sociopath and one that is either on the autistic spectrum or has some kind of mental deficiency. If they said I missed it. The pair pose as paramedics and take the patients back to their home where they harvest their organs and sell them on the black market. One night they pick up a woman who clearly resembles someone from their past and instead of killing her, they keep her alive. I do not wish to say more as it will all be spoilers.

The good:

The body horror is quite good. This was clearly a low budget movie, but the gore was very decent.

The three main characters are actually pretty decent actors, especially the guy that plays Jeffery, the autistic brother.

The story is not like one I have encountered before and keeps your interest.

The nudity, while not copious, is very pleasant to look at.

The Bad:

All the axillary characters were played by people that were so bad I would assume they were found on the street and asked if they wanted to be in a movie.

The suspension of disbelief is kind of hard to do here. It would not be possible for these guys to do this sort of thing for very long without being caught. How many people can be picked up in an ambulance and then decide to vanish before someone caught on?

The merkin. Oh my God, it could not have been more obvious.

If you are a fan of horror and suspense, I would say that you should give this a watch, though do not expect anything grandiose.
