While I had never heard about the 2024 horror movie "Killer Body Count", of course I had to check it out, given my fascination and love with all things horror. I had very little expectations to the movie, truth be told, since it was a Tubi movie. But I still opted to watch what director Danishka Esterhazy had to offer.
The storyline in the movie was good, though there was a bit too much focus on showing off skin and sexual encounters. Sure, the storyline in the movie was a pretty straightforward and somewhat generic one for a slasher movie, but it had enough twists and oddities in it to make it noteworthy and watchable. Thumbs up to writer Jessica Landry for managing to churn out something more than just another generic slasher flick.
Everything is not all and well, though, because the movie does suffer from a somewhat sluggish pacing. Parts of the movie seems to take forever to go nowhere. And the obsession with showing off nudity or sexual encounters also dumbed down and slowed down the movie.
The acting performances in "Killer Body Count" was good. And I have to say that especially leading actress Cassiel Eatock-Winnik along with Savana Tardieu really carried the movie quite nicely.
I was rather surprised with the special effects in the movie. The effects were surprisingly good, and they really added a lot to the overall enjoyment of the movie.
"Killer Body Count" is a watchable movie, for sure, but not without its flaws. I enjoyed the movie for what it was, but it is hardly a movie that warrants more than just a single viewing.
My rating of director Danishka Esterhazy's 2024 movie "Killer Body Count" lands on a five out of ten stars.
