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.

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 Jun 17, 2019
