Cue nosebleeds, mysterious blackouts and a particularly ominous warning from one student: “Do not be afraid of what you’re about to suffer.”
And that’s all within the first 20 seconds of a trailer that’s just over two minutes long. So, yeah, consider me intrigued (and maybe a little scared).
Netflix’s The Bodywhich premiered Nov. 11, is set on Halloween 2004 at a Catholic high school in the Northeast. The eight-episode psychological horror drama follows a dance-team initiation ritual that goes horribly wrong.
When team co-captains Anya Butler and Elise Zakaria pressure new recruit Grace Franklin, the niece of the school’s headmaster, Father Sam Franklin, into taking ecstasy at an abandoned building, Grace slips into a coma and begins experiencing prophetic visions.
As those visions spark religious fanaticism and mass hysteria throughout the town, the students scramble to cover their tracks.
