The real joy of The Body is the journey it takes to get to those horror elements.
But, over their journey, they start to truly discover the difference between what is real and not, and what they have made into bigger deals within their own mind, rather than what reality has given them.
It’s almost like the movie paints a picture of the beauty of childhood innocence, and that’s something I think every audience deserves to see.
While Stephen King is known to be the king of horror, considering he has come out with some of the best stories out there, The Body is different in the way that it has horror elements but it’s not necessarily horror-focused.
