ANALYSIS:
Bodies Bodies Bodies begins with a hip soundtrack, sexual energy and mediocre acting. The first twenty minutes is a mix of mildly funny to slightly annoying characters who failed to produce heart felt laughs. Our subject struggled to empathize with the actors. Once the suspenseful game began, however, her levels started to increase. An 81bpm spike occurred at 34:00 after the girls got slap happy. A power outage plunged the film into darkness which created and sustained high levels of tension as the characters wandered the house. Each body uncovered brought another high spike. Our subject’s peak heart rate was created by a slow building suspenseful scene which crawled to an impressive 88bpm. Unfortunately there were several slow moments that completely removed our subject from the film.
