Jennifer's Body

Plot

Just to get this out of the way because I know the male audience will be dying to know.

There are NO nude scenes of Megan Fox in Jennifer's body.

Now that I have that out of the way let me get on with the review.

Fox plays Jennifer the super cool, high school babe that every girl wants to be and who every guy wants to be with.

Jennifer convinces her best friend Needy (Amanda Seyfried) to come to a bar where a visiting band are playing.

During the evening Jennifer goes off with the band and becomes possessed.

What starts is a series of murder's in the small town and Needy believes that Jennifer could have something to do with the deaths.

Summary

I thought Fox was suited the role well, I truly believed that she was just interested in the boys at high school and that she was arrogant and egotistical.

Seyfried was a good choice as Needy she semed to be the perfect opposite Jennifer and the two characters played off each other well.

The death scenes lack tension, suspense and to be honest I really didn't care one bit who had just died.

Which when watching a horror film, the viewer should feel emotional when a death has occured.

Overall

Director Karyn Kusama tries to stay away from usual horror conventions which makes the film not scary and not even feel remotely like a horror film.

It gets confused, on the one hand the film shows the difficulties between adolescent teens and their friendships.

Then on the other it tries to be a typical American teen horror film using clever and witty dialogue, but with its main character just randomly killing people.

It's a strange combination and one that failed to hold my attention.

If you like teen movies that contain Fox acting as a man eater, some mild scares and a little bit of gore then this movie will appeal to you.
