Review of Jennifer's Body

Here I am writing on another movie with Megan Fox in it. Only this time she's an evil flesh-eating monster by the name of Jennifer Check. The movie revolves around 2 best friends, Jennifer and Needy who lives in a place called Devil's Kettle. After the bar that they visited burned down, Jennifer was more than happy to follow a rock band who turned out to be devil worshippers. Thinking that she's a virgin, the guys sacrificed her to Satan so that they can become rich and famous. But because she isn't really a virgin, she ended up being possessed by a demon and must feast on humans to look 'fresh'...

I'm sure anyone who frequently watches horror movies can predict what happens next.(Spoilers ahead!) So our Jennifer here begins to feast on the guys in school one by one until one day Needy finds out what's really going on with her best friend. For a movie written by Diablo Cody, this is really a disappointment. The storyline lacks originality and is too predictable, even the scary part. I can easily predict whether the mjovie will try to freak you out in the next moment. And Megan Fox's performance in this movie is nothing to shout about. However, I do like Amanda Seyfried's portrayal of Needy.

Although they called it a horror comedy, I can't recall any moment that made the crowd laugh out loud. And it didn't do well in the horror department either. So, guess what happened in the end?(More spoilers!) On the night of their spring dance, Jenn tried to eat Needy's boyfriend, Chip. Needy arrived to stop her, but Chip died anyway. So Needy got pissed, and she stabbed Jenn in her tit. In the process, Needy got a bite from Jenn. What happens after that is anyone's guess.

In short, if you haven't catch this movie, there is little point for you to do so now. If you like a lot of blood or a lot of Megan Fox, then this might be the movie for you.

Rating: 2/5
