The Ending Of Bodies Bodies Bodies Explained

In slasher movies, there are usually rules and reasons that certain people die first and others are saved for the end. Any "Scream" fan worth their salt can recite to you the traditional rules horror movies follow, but "Bodies Bodies Bodies" establishes its own methodology. In this killer-free slasher, director Halina Reijn decided that wasn't the only convention she wanted to buck. Early on, the director figured out that the men would be killed off first.

"Bodies Bodies Bodies" has an almost entirely female cast, a point emphasized even more by the early deaths of both male characters. David is the first to die, and Greg isn't much far behind. They are the only two characters that don't get to survive until the bloody climax. This was on purpose, as the director told Variety.

"We wanted to say something, in a playful way, that the men need to die first," Reijn said, "the cause of death is male toxic behavior and competitiveness. It truly exists, but it's also extremely, darkly humorous."
