Games turn deadly in Bodies Bodies Bodies trailer

We’ve always half-suspected that rich kids play decadent games when they’re away from the prying eyes of normal people. And that seems to be the basic premise of Bodies Bodies Bodies, a new black comedy that slightly veers into horror territory. Following its debut at SXSW, A24 is set to bring the film to theaters this summer. And if the first trailer is any indication, it lives up to its tagline: “This is not a safe space.”

In the footage, a group of rich young adults gathers at a mansion far from the city life, where no one will bother them as they get drunk and high. The “friends,” and we use that term loosely, have a cruel game that they call “Bodies Bodies Bodies.” It always leaves someone in tears. But this time, someone among them is making sure that their fellow players are actually dying. The humor comes from the fact that even in a life-and-death situation, these people can’t let go of their shallow personas.

A zombie sits in a car in Shaun of the Dead.

Horror and comedy fans alike are celebrating the 20th anniversary of the release of Shaun of the Dead. Directed by Edgar Wright, this modern classic follows Simon Pegg's (Star Trek) thirtysomething slacker, who must take charge of his life in order to stay alive in the wake of a zombie apocalypse.

Hugh Grant turns evil in creepy trailer for A24’s Heretic
Hugh Grant creepily looks off camera in Heretic.

Hugh Grant typically wins over the opposite sex with his undeniable charisma in rom-coms like Noting Hill and Love Actually. In the first trailer for A24's Heretic, Grant is the furthest thing from charming.

Two young missionaries (Chloe East and Sophie Thatcher) looking to spread the word about the Church of Jesus Christ are delighted to speak with Mr. Reed (Grant), who invites the young girls into his house. What starts as a friendly conversation becomes a nightmare once Mr. Reed traps the girls inside his house. "I won't keep you if you wish to leave," Grant tells the missionaries, "but I want you to choose which door to go through based on your faith." Mr. Reed writes "belief" on one door and "disbelief" on the second door.
