Body Bags

About This Movie

Body Bags is this interesting blend of horror and dark comedy, made by John Carpenter, who really knows how to play with atmosphere. The anthology format gives it a sort of patchwork feel, with three distinct stories that each have a unique twist. The pacing is a little uneven, but it adds to that quirky vibe. The practical effects are worth noting, especially in the hair transplant segment – it’s grotesque in a way that feels both humorous and unsettling. And the performances? They're spot on, especially with John Carpenter himself appearing as the morgue attendant, adding a meta layer to the experience. It’s definitely one of those films that captures the fun of 90s horror while still having that Carpenter touch.
