Body feels downright old-fashioned: a thriller with tension that doesn't stem from gore, jump scares, or other cheap shock tactics, but rather a creeping dread that grows with each red herring, and slow-burn plot twist. Read full review

On the surface a typical exercise in horror-film cliché, Body turns out to be a far more thought-provoking creature, a parable of adulthood and a stinging indictment of white-girl privilege. Read full review

Body is very much an exercise, but by a couple of guys who are already showing a confident handle of coaxing solid performances out of their cast, sustaining a mood, and not reaching beyond their means. Read full review

The filmmakers exhibit no interest in watching the story's central wolves wiggle out of the trap they've potentially set for themselves. Read full review

Body eventually goes for ["Very Bad Thing"'s] brand of cheap irony in a less blackly comedic register, and unfortunately achieves it. Read full review

The polished, bland low-budget presentation doesn’t raise much tension, and the script springs no real surprises Read full review

Some of the character study stuff was pretty decent and given a little better treatment this could have been a much better movie.

By the end of the long 78 minutes, it’s clear Body might have had a better shot at success had it been a true short film as opposed to a lean full-length feature, as it’s clear these filmmakers don’t yet have the skills necessary to develop a full-length feature from concept to page to screen.
