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.

Geek Vibes Nation

It is empowering to women and spits in the face of misogyny. Much like many things in life, it is more layered and intricate than it seems upon first glance.

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

This is an iconic movie that it is a crime to have such low critic scores!! Amanda Seyfried and Meghan Fox absolutely killed it

i don’t know wtf the critics are talking about, but this is a gorgeous movie with clever writing about the effects of sexual assault. plus, there’s some gorgeous shots, like when jennifer is floating above Needy and Chip with her soaking wet dress, or when the camera zooms in super fast from really far away on the jock. This is a great film! My only problem is that some of the CGI looks bad but i can easily oversee that.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

It was so good so basically Jennifer being sacrificed by those men symbolises SA and her becoming a man eating demon after shows the effects of SA and how a victim tries to gain back her power after it .Its very educational and judging by the amount of 40 year opd white mean rating it down I can say it was way ayead of its time

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
