Part of Shocktober
When narcissistic highschool cheerleader Jennifer (Megan Fox) mysteriously endures demonic possession, she suddenly acquires an insatiable appetite for human blood. As she embarks on a literal man-eater spree starting with her male classmates, Jennifer’s nerdy, obsessive best friend Needy (Amanda Seyfried) may be the only person who can put an end to the carnage.
Recently regarded as the quintessential bi-positive, horror film of its time — JENNIFER’S BODY is a surprising exploration of teenagehood, sexuality, codependency and complex friendships. Fox’s performance is tantalizing and thrilling — bound to leave viewers with an experience they can sink their teeth into.
“A wicked black comedy with unexpected emotional resonance, one of the most purely pleasurable movies of the year so far.” —Dana Stevens, Slant Magazine (Sep 17, 2009)
“This isn’t your assembly-line teen horror thriller. The portraits of Jennifer and Needy are a little too knowing, the dialogue is a little too off-center, the developments are a little too quirky. After you’ve seen enough teen thrillers, you begin to appreciate these distinctions.” —Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times (Sep 16, 2009)
