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.

Kjerstin Johnson Bitch Media It's not just a feminist thumbs down, it's like a... movie thumbs down. Dec 22, 2020 Full Review Chris Stuckmann ChrisStuckmann.com What I love about this movie is, surprisingly, that Megan Fox is excellent. Rated: A- Oct 28, 2020 Full Review Mark Kermode BBC.com Not without its problems, but it is an enjoyable romp. Mar 29, 2019 Full Review Marya E. Gates 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. Feb 13, 2024 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review For a horror comedy, Jennifer’s Body is conspicuously unfunny and unscary. Rated: 1/4 Aug 30, 2023 Full Review Stephanie Archer 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.

ATL i irreverent horror, but I found it fun. Happy I watched this and is for sure going on the October watchlist ! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/26/25 Full Review Marcus U Jennifer's Body is a movie that I enjoyed without taking the plot too seriously. The genre is known for some outlandish plot points, but I tried to look past that. It portrays women's empowerment in a genuine way. I liked the blending of genres like horror and dark comedy throughout the film. The plot consists of a girl possessed by a demon who goes around and hunts males at their high school, before she is stopped. The plot twists were fun, and it had a satisfying ending. This has got to be one of my favorite teen horror movies I have watched because I enjoyed the contrasting dynamic between the main characters. The soundtrack was good and went well with the style of the movie. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/20/25 Full Review Adrianna S Jenifer’s Body is a movie I enjoyed watching although I do not typically like scary movies. The movie had a good balance between horror and comedy which is what kept me intrigued. Jenifer, played by Megan Fox, although demonic, portrayed many emotions young girls struggle with in high school. For example, jealousy, exploitation, and difficulties in friendships. I believe movies like this age well and all future generations to come will enjoy it and be able to relate to the meaning behind the surface. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/20/25 Full Review lyalya . Jennifer’s Body was different, and I had mixed feelings overall. It felt like a slow burn for sure, I found myself kind of detached during the beginning. But around the halfway point, I started getting more curious and wanted to see how it would all play out. The tone shifts and dark humor was interesting, but I’m not sure they fully worked for me. It wasn’t terrible, but it also didn’t fully land. I’d say it was okay - not something I’d go out of my way to watch again. But if it was playing in the background somewhere, like in a waiting room or on late-night TV, I might glance at it again. It had potential, but just didn’t totally click for me. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/20/25 Full Review Alex G I initially found this movie to be a little dull, but as it went on, I came to believe it was actually rather good. The plot centers on Jennifer, a popular high school girl, who starts hunting her male friends after becoming possessed by a demon. Before more people are harmed, Needy, her best friend, tries to stop her. It combines dark comedy, horror, and a tale of friendship and retaliation. This film has several darkly humorous aspects that make it both humorous and unsettling. Megan Fox does a fantastic job portraying Jennifer; it's entertaining and fascinating to see how she balances charm and threat. There are serious moments mixed in with the chaotic trip. Although the dialogue is occasionally a little overly stylized, it is nevertheless worth seeing because of its distinct tone and subjects. Jennifer's Body is well worth the time if you like horror with a twist and a strong female viewpoint. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/19/25 Full Review random u Jennifer's Body was not a bad movie. I wasn’t too sure what to expect before watching this but it kept me watching. It's about a girl named Jennifer and how she gets possessed after some ritual that she did to become famous but it goes wrong. The movie wasn’t just revolved around horror. I didn’t think it was a scary movie, I found it more funny. It also had the women be the main character in the horror movie and this is different. Usually, women are the victims in the killings but this movie flips the dynamics. I think it did a good job being funny, weird and gross so I thought it was an alright watch. It’s not a type of movie I’d usually watch but I can see why some might. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/19/25 Full Review Read all reviews
