VIBE CHECK: The competitive obsession of THE NOVICE, the stormy tension of CRAWL, and the claustrophobic relationships of BODIES BODIES BODIES.
FORMAT: Feature
WORLD PREMIERE
REPRESENTATION: Mitchell Bendersky, Expectation Management
DEAD LIST EXECUTIVE BLURB: There's a lot to like here. The writing on the page is strong and the characters (all college-age, queer women) sound more authentic than any other group of kids in a horror script I've read for the list this year so far. The writer nails the banter of the "extremely online" queer, Gen Z cohort. I think BODIES, BODIES, BODIES is a great comp for the snark and the sexuality, and those elements are working here. — Executive Reader Jennifer Grand (Black List x MGM Blind Deal winner)
