Plot

A pathologist Chen Jia Hao and his assistant Lynn are working late at a public morgue on a Christmas Eve. Three masked men break into the morgue, trying to retrieve a bullet from a corpse.

Cast

Release

The film had its world premiere as the opening film of the 43rd Hong Kong International Film Festival on March 18, 2019.[4][5] It was also screened at the Far East Film Festival[7] and the Edinburgh International Film Festival.[8] It was released in China on August 16, 2019.[6] The film earned $18 million in its opening weekend.[9][10]

Reception

On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 83% based on six reviews, with an average rating of 6.5/10.[11]

Elizabeth Kerr of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "Despite its flaws, Bodies grabs you quickly and never really lets go for the entirety of its lean, efficient 90 minutes."[12] She described the film as "the simultaneously derivative and yet entirely amusing hodgepodge."[12] Fionnuala Halligan of Screen International commented that the film "delivers what it promises and no more, but it fulfils its brief with eye-rolling relish."[13]
