NO BODY IS LEAVING THE SAME AS THEY CAME.
At a party, a guest (David W. Thompson) introduces a game where a machine makes it possible to switch bodies.
An indie movie that blends genres and demands full attention from its young target audience that must keep track of who’s in whose body. That remains a challenge at times in this stylish film that is perhaps best described as a sci-fi thriller, with colorful visuals borrowed from Suspiria (1977). Exploring a doomed relationship, the film intriguingly plays around with the fantasy of being someone else.
Thompson is worth a look, channeling a young James Spader.
