3.5*/5.0*

Pretty weird, insane and over-the-top horror/comedy. Not really a fan of the American high school setting, but the absurd comedy, the bloody slasher elements and the exuberant presentation make this a damn fun and entertaining film. Probably too weird for many, but it has everything to be a worthy cult hit.


Bodied

2017 / 120m - USA

3.0*/5.0*
Bodied poster

With Eminem on board as a producer, this was clearly trying to replicate some of the success of 8 Mile. And the film does a pretty decent job, though the contrast between the rap battles and university life is a bit too exaggerated at times. Because of that, the drama ends up being too cheesy.

The lead performances are nice, though, and the rap battles themselves, which take up quite a bit of time, are entertaining. The presentation is solid too, it's just the drama that never really finds its footing, making the 2-hour runtime a tad excessive. But Bodied is nice, if you appreciate hip-hop wordplay.
