The Bodyhails from creator, executive producer, and director Quinn Shephard, who told TUDUM.com that it was influenced by her own experiences as a teen. “I literally made this for my teen self. Tonally, I would describe the show as gritty camp. It’s a raunchy teen psychodrama with a dash of Catholic horror,” she said.
The show also pays homage to some of her favorite films, including Carrie,Jennifer’s Body,Heavenly Creatures, Mean Girls, and The Crucible.
Netflix’s horror hit received mostly positive reviews from critics.
