Jennifer's Body

“Jennifer’s Body” is a horror film that is told from a narrative stand point, Anita “needy” Lesnicki who is in a mental hospital. She recalls all of what happened in her past in Devils Kettle a small town named after a waterfall is where this film takes place. Jennifer (Megan Fox) is a cheerleader for the school who is best friends with Anita as she puts it there were pretty much sisters. The two decide to go to an indie rock concert that is being held at the local bar. The band is playing and while they are at the bar a fire breaks out, Jennifer leaves the inferno with the band in their van. Needy returns home to find Jessica in her kitchen bloody and with a creepy smile only a mother could love. Without saying a word she vomits up black sludge and then asks needy if she is scared. All seems fine though the next day when Jennifer is back to normal…somewhat no one knows that she is possessed by a man eating succubus and that more deaths are soon to come.  

This horror film is a mediocre film that cannot even classify itself as a horror film with very little scary scenes if any at all, and the most predictable plot on the planet. The only scene that will get anyone’s attention is the lesbian scene between Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried. In all “Jennifer’s Body” is a film with a plot that is so predictable it is sad a cast that can’t act themselves out of a paper bag. That is except for the lone actress that did any good Amanda Seyfried is the only redeeming person or thing in this movie.

Good:
-Amanda Seyfried is a great actress that is great in her role as the nerd
-Lesbian scene between Megan and Amanda

Bad:
-Predictable plot
-Actors and Actresses that can’t act
-Megan Fox thinking she can get by on just her looks and FAILS miserably
-Horror film that isn’t scary one bit

Scully Rating: 2 out of 10
