The Body

About This Movie

The Body is an intriguing little piece of horror-thriller that plays out in a very unique way. Set against the backdrop of Halloween night in Los Angeles, it’s not just your average hitman flick; there's this absurdity woven into the narrative. The hitman, with his somewhat polished appearance, is carrying a corpse, yet everyone he encounters thinks he’s part of some elaborate costume party. It creates this darkly comedic tension—people are congratulating him while he’s just trying to go about his grim business. The pacing has a nice, almost surreal flow, and the practical effects, though sparse, serve the story well. The performances add layers; there’s this underlying strain of existential dread. It's distinctive, for sure, and not something you see every day.
