Like so many "modern" horror movies, the creators of "Jennifer's Body" had a great idea, but didn't quite know how to execute it. Megan Fox was brilliant as a psychotic/smart-ass demon - the product of a botched sacrifice from a satanic rock band.A lot of possibilities, but in the end the writers committed the ultimate sin of storytelling: Always show, don't tell. In this case, they "told" instead of "showing." Lots of talk - but not enough action, right up to the final scene where "Needy" tells her ride that she's following a band,but "tonight is their last show." Great line. Great ending. But let's see her really $)@ these guys up... don't just show us pics of the aftermath...It was that way thru the entire movie. Great ideas, but little to hold them together cohesively and to keep the viewer glued to the screen. A bit more script edits and screen tests could have made the difference between an average "ho-hum" teen horror flick and a masterpiece.

This movie has everything. Man hating lesbians. Cannibals. Men dying. Incredible dialogue. Man hating lesbians. Doesn't deserve all the hate directed at it at all.

Writer Diablo Cody won an Oscar for her screenplay for Juno. She becomes unstuck with Jennifer's Body as the film is unsure whether it wants to be a horror, a parody or a dark comedy about high school kids.Jennifer's Body was probably only green-lit with Megan Fox attached as the lead. She certainly has the face and the body but not necessarily the acting ability as the hot high school cheerleader who all the boys fancy.After an encounter with a rock band with satanic undertones at a gig where the place burns down in a fire, Jennifer has been transformed into a succubus who has to devour flesh. Her gawky geeky friend Needy (Amanda Seyfried) thinks that Jennifer is involved somehow with students turning up dead and reckons her boyfriend (Johnny Simmons) could be in danger.The film really wants to be a modern hip Carrie but director Karyn Kusama does not have the elan of Brian De Palma and the script is not good enough.

Jennifer's Body sure is a different kind of film. Megan fox did really well with her starring role of Jennifer. I also really liked Amanda Seyfried here in her co-starring role. I feel like the rest of the cast did a pretty good job, and I especially liked the actor that played Chip, Amanda's boyfriend, I just really thought that that was a good casting decision and I really liked how they developed his character. Amanda and her boyfriend chips chemistry and relationship was very well-developed in the movie. I also thought the acting was really good, and the writing wasn't too bad, it's pretty average for a teenage flick. Some of the killings and the bloody violence was just a bit too gory for my taste and I thought went too far. There is one particular scene in which the killing and the aftermath is just so graphically portray that it's hard to keep looking at the screen. Also, during the Satanic ritual in which the band sacrifices Jennifer, I thought that the way they went about it was kinda strange, I thought that scene was both layed out poorly and written poorly. You certainly do get a lot of things that you don't usually see a lot of in a movie with Jennifer's Body. That list includes a Satanic ritual and sacrifice, spontaneous totally out of the blue lesbianism (that seemed forced and didn't make a lot of sense to me), and such heavy material geared towards the high school age group. Overall, Jennifers body is a pretty average teenage flick with good acting but far too graphic bloody violence.
