Netflix has just added a new psychological thriller with 100% on Rotten Tomatoes

The series is earning comparisons to Carrie, Jennifer's Body, and Mean Girls.

Created by rising writer-director Quinn Shephard, the eight-part series follows a group of badly behaved Catholic schoolgirls in 2004. After a dance-team initiation goes wrong, they begin having prophetic visions that set off mass hysteria in their town.

Said to be inspired by Carrie, Jennifer’s Body, Heavenly Creatures, and Mean Girls “but with a grounded lens”, The Body is earning rave reviews from critics.

In fact, RogerEbert.com critic Clint Worthington has compared it to Ken Russell's 1971 The Devils, which just got an acclaimed 4K cinema re-release. This is due to both projects' portrait of a group of women "psychologically collapsing under the weight of Catholic guilt, social orthodoxy, and their own repressed desires".
