Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

You can go watch it for Megan Fox and Diablo Cody fresh off her Oscar nomination and the film is pretty alright to be fair. It is better than most films of this genre. Just don't go in expecting too much. (Megan shines)

I have researched a lot of horror movies. Some horror movies take it from a true story or myths . Her name is ," Elyse Pahler: Killed in Nipomo in 1995". She was murdered by a band who wanted to get famous; so they sacrificed her to the devil because she was a virgin . I watch this movie, than I remember in my home town this being on the local news as a young kid. This movie took it to another level saying what happens if she was not a true virgin? I actually have hard time watching it knowing the facts. If you read how the band killed her. This movie is a revenge story on the band at the end.

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.

Seriously.In her early 20s, Fox at that time was one of the most beautiful women in the world with potentially a heck of a film career ahead. In the first Transformers film, she had, by merely bending over a car engine, given hundreds of thousands of teenage boys worldwide a reason to live. But what next? You have to figure that the actress and her agent were waiting for the perfect script, and what could be more perfect than a horror/teen project from Oscar winner Diablo Cody? With hindsight, we now see JB as a film with a script that goes nowhere, a constant refusal to engage the audience on any level, and, oh yeah, since this is an official review, the worst role of JK Simmons' career. Which is strange sort of achievement.The only one who survives this travesty is Amanda Seyfried, who essentially functions as "the glue" and tries to keep the viewer interested mainly by leveraging off her own high level of "perplexity." Fox, as we all know, ended up doing mainly TV after this. Pity.
