When a demon takes possession of her, high-school hottie Jennifer (Megan Fox) turns a hungry eye on guys who never stood a chance with her before. While evil Jennifer satisfies her appetite for human flesh with the school's male population, her nerdy friend, Needy (Amanda Seyfried), learns what's happening and vows to put an end to the carnage.

Critics Consensus

Jennifer's Body features occasionally clever dialogue, but its horror/comedy premise ultimately fails to be consistently funny or scary enough to satisfy.

It's not just a feminist thumbs down, it's like a... movie thumbs down.

What I love about this movie is, surprisingly, that Megan Fox is excellent.

Not without its problems, but it is an enjoyable romp.

Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack)

There’s so much righteous anger in this movie, not just about the way girls are treated and about bodily autonomy, but also about the recession and America’s weird post-9/11 jingoist patriotism.

Deep Focus Review

For a horror comedy, Jennifer’s Body is conspicuously unfunny and unscary.

Rated: 1/4

Film Inquiry

While not all elements of the film fail to come together as cohesively as others, Jennifer’s Body proves itself to be one wild, satirically horrific experience.

Did we all watch the same movie…. Why is the rating so low… Anywho, this movie honestly changed my outlook on the world. How Jennifer being the popular girl she is can still have her own problems. How everyone experiences that feeling of not belonging. Maybe you all aren’t looking at the real meaning behind the movie but it’s a fantastic movie.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Pretty campy movie, average at best, I will admit the lines that Megan Fox said we're really silly but funny!

Such a shame that this film was so badly marketed on release. I was put off watching it for years due to the bad reviews. It's a great teen movie looking at female friendships and the difficulties teenage girls face navigating the world. There are hints of Buffy the Vampire Slayer with Jennifer's pithy dialogue. Don't be put off by the reviews - judge it on its own merits. If it was released now I think it would be received completely differently.

A movie that was definitely ahead of it's time, but with amazing photography, and great performances from both leading ladies. To add on, Jennifers Body is such a fun watch, you really can't get bored at any point of the film. It's one of my household's favorites and we watch it every year for Halloween.
