Phil’s Quick Capsule Review:
What it lacks in quality stories, Body Bags certainly makes up for in charm and effort. In fact at its worst Body Bags is a fun anthology film brought to you by two directors who know the genre better than most. Hell it even features Carpenter himself as the Crypt Keeper-esque mortician who link step three stories together and has a great stream of cameos from Wes Craven and Twiggy to Roger Corman, Sam Raimi and even Tom Arnold (remember him?). It’s still a mess and, for my money, I have yet to really love the anthology horror sub-genre BUT there are far worse takes on this format. So essential? Nope but still worth watching if you want a cheesy slice of 90’s horror.
Best Bit: Carpenter is having ball
Buy, Stream, Avoid: Stream
