Leave your thoughts about Body Bags.
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumGruesome stuff — and yet Body Bags moves along with such jaunty, good bad taste that it’s hard not to smile. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanOccasionally predictable but still has a significant amount of suspense, a healthy dose of black humor, and a number of good performances. |
| Slant MagazineBudd WilkinsThat Body Bags largely succeeds, despite the perceptible lack of novel material, can be attributed to the strength of the assembled performances as well as the filmmakers’ attention to the dynamics of visual storytelling. |
| SlashfilmChris EvangelistaIf you’re looking for less fright and more fun as you tick down the Halloween season, or if you just want to see John Carpenter tell terrible puns while forcing severed heads to make-out, Body Bags is for you. |
| USA TodayMatt RoushEven with the impressive talent assembled in front of and behind the camera, and a healthy budget for a television movie, Body Bags is still little more than an agreeable lark, and its breezy charm might not have survived a drastic cut in budget and shift in shooting locales. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.As a compilation, it's only a mediocre horror effort. |
| PopMattersJ.C. Maçek IIIIt's easy to see why Body Bags was something of a clone of Tales from the Crypt. But as a standalone film, Body Bags is Carpenter at his funniest, as director, composer and in his rare appearance as a lead actor. |
| Daily DeadHeather WixsonYou can tell everyone had their hearts in the right place with Body Bags, but the end product just doesn't really deliver the goods the way I was hoping it would. |
| VarietyTony ScottScary moments are scattered throughout the teleplays by Billy Brown and Dan Angel, with a few jittery jolts to grab attention (particularly during the first episode), but the writing and stories are pedestrian. |
| User Reviewstefán birgir sOne of my favorite TV anthologies. A weird, funny, and often cool 90s horror flick. |
