Nerdy, reserved bookworm Needy (Amanda Seyfried) and arrogant, conceited cheerleader Jennifer (Megan Fox) are best friends, though they share little in common. They share even less in common when Jennifer mysteriously gains an appetite for human blood after a disastrous fire at a local bar. As Needy’s male classmates are steadily killed off in gruesome attacks, the young girl must uncover the truth behind her friend’s transformation and find a way to stop the bloodthirsty rampage before it reaches her own boyfriend Chip.

Ok, I’ll be the first to admit I rented this movie because Megan Fox is hot. I don’t mean slightly hot either. She’s drop-dead gorgeous and one of the sexier women I’ve ever seen. Now, that doesn’t mean I’ll like the film.
I’m on record many times saying that both Transformers films are the equivalent of monkey shit. But, “Jennifer’s Body” is actually a quality little horror film with excellent performances from the young cast as well as a lot of humor.
Think “Interview with the Vampire” meets “Heathers” and you’re in the ballpark. There’s also a sense of darkness that’s conveyed in this film that most teenage films rarely have the balls to take on and I admire that. If there’s a weakness to the movie, it’s that the progression of the story tends to slow down and meander in spots. However, if you’re one the fence and want a fun horror film that doesn’t take itself too seriously, give this one a try.

I’ll give this one a shot, Brian. I was avoiding it like the plague. Also the director was on an episode of Life After Film School and she had some interesting things to say about the Horror film genre today that I had agreed with. Thanks for the review!
