‘The Body’: Dancing with the devil

Halloween may be over, but that doesn’t mean our craving for all things horror is; Netflix knows this, and released “The Body” on Wednesday, Nov. 11. A psychological drama and horror series, “The Body” follows the St. Mark’s Lions, in need of a new member of their dance team after one suffered an injury. Come All Hallows Eve of 2004, they have their new member facing her initiation, but something goes wrong. Is she dead? Was the initiation drug really pure? “The Body” is a confusing show full of manipulation, sexual confusion and of course, a hefty dose of religious guilt, which helps to inform our characters’ decisions. High school is, for many, a peak in our lives. We really only have classes and drama among friends to worry about. But the St. Mark’s Lions might disagree. Captains Anya and Elise, played by Kristina Bogic and Sara Boustany, have to figure out how to calm the team after an initiation gone wrong.
