Trailer for A24 slasher Bodies Bodies Bodies features new track by Charli XCX

A new trailer for A24’s slasher-comedy, Bodies Bodies Bodies, has just dropped - and it's full of new Charli XCX and bouncy hip hop.

The new film, which stars Amandla Stenberg, Maria Bakalova, and Pete Davidson, follows a group of 20-somethings as they arrange a hurricane party in a secluded family house.

The group starts playing Bodies, Bodies, Bodies, a game similar to IRL Cluedo in which one person pretends to kill another while the others try to figure out who did it.

As you would expect, things can get pretty rowdy and tensions can flare up-and it won't be long before a genuine killer is on the loose.

The trailer, which features a piece of original music by Charli XCX 'Hot Girl', depicts a party that quickly escalates from slapping to weeping to a full-fledged murder mystery, as friends turn on one other.

Over a pounding 808 bass line, Charli raps: “I’m a hot girl, pop girl, rich girl…You just wanna be me…I’m a hot girl and I come in different flavours…The neighbours…”

Tailored to a Gen Z audience, the trailer is laced with buzzwords such as 'gaslighting', 'toxicity' and 'you trigger me'.

Halina Reijn directs the film, which was based on a screenplay written by Sarah DeLappe and a story written by Kristen Roupenian.

Bodies Bodies Bodies will be out in cinemas this summer. Watch the trailer below.
