What to Know

Critics Consensus

With its clever blend of comedic skills and horrific thrills, "The Body" initially intrigues, but its thin plotting and stock characters fail to sufficiently fill the feature length run-time.

[The Body's] willingness to play its own game, to be tawdry and cheap in a streaming landscape in which bigger and bolder statements are made... feels like something unusual, something worth noting even as only diehards may delight in it. Go to Full Review Judy Berman TIME Magazine 01/11/2019
...a plot stretched too thin over 90 minutes and stock horror characters whose vapidity defies belief. Go to Full Review Noel Murray The Verge 01/11/2019
Into the Dark's The Body is, for the most part, a big swing that misses, it fails in a way that speaks to Blumhouse's core values. Go to Full Review Lonita Cook KCTV5 News at 9 06/16/2021

Blumhouse knows to make a lot of a little, and the grim city locations and well-written interactions between cast members make "The Body" fun to watch. Go to Full Review C.H. Newell Father Son Holy Gore 06/17/2019
