Body Count

About This Movie

Body Count is a gritty slice of 80s crime horror that merges the bleak realities of a serial killer's twisted mindset with a strained love story. The atmosphere is dense, with shadowy streets and a pervasive sense of dread. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it adds to the tension, especially when the radio reporter takes matters into his own hands. The killer, burdened with terminal cancer, adds a layer of melancholy to the gruesome acts. Practical effects give a rawness to the kills that feels disturbingly real. The performances are a mixed bag, but the old police sergeant stands out as a gruff, almost comical figure amidst the chaos. It’s definitely a distinct entry in the genre, for those who appreciate the grittier side of horror.
