What's Happening to Jennifer's Body? A Warning

Warning: DO NOT get into the van with the blacked-out windows. I don't care how cool and sexy the boys in the emo band are and how much you want to make out with the lead singer you've been stalking. In reality, the guys in the emo band Low Shoulder are attempting to kiss the devil's butt by sacrificing a virgin (which, btw, you are so not) in the spooky woods beside Devil's Kettle in hopes the dark lord will make them rich and cool like Maroon 5. Just so ya know.

But should you find yourself the unwitting victim of a Satanic sacrifice by emo boys, you'll become a succubus, a demon who feasts on the flesh of poor, helpless high school boys. Boys are so easily led astray by their nether regions, and so make the perfect victims. The only way to kill your undead body is to drive a knife through your heart while you are hungry, having been thwarted from feeding on your bff's boyfriend.

All of this paranormal knowledge is gained by watching Jennifer's Body, the horror film penned by Diablo Cody, the brilliant writer of Juno. Don't listen to reviewers who are boys; they are simply miffed at being portrayed as vulnerable chunks of demon chow. (Boys, this is the way girls have felt while watching slasher films since the dawn of filmmaking.) If you like a little funny with your scary/grotesque, this is great stuff. The ending, in which Needy (Amanda Seyfried, the perky blonde star of Mamma Mia! and Dear John) gets revenge on the band who literally demonized her childhood friend (Megan Fox), is perfection.

Plus, it has great throwaway lines like, "Do you buy all your murder weapons at Home Depot? God, you're so butch!"

Jennifer's Body DVD Release

Jennifer's Body was recently released on DVD December 29th. I admit, I didn't feel it was worth seeing on the big screen, but I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. I have a new appreciation for Megan Fox in her first starring role. She's OK in transformers, but everyone knows she's so famous and people love her because of her undeniable sex appeal. Also, congrats to Amanda Seyfried, she's gorgeous and her ability to express her emotional range in her roles is amazing.

I mean, really, this movie is about a hot high school cheerleader who gets turned into a vampiresque-demon after a run in with an indie band that practices witchcraft. They take her against her will and attempt to kill her, but... the spell goes all wrong, because Jennifer lied about being a virgin! Uh-oh. Now she must eat the flesh and drink the blood of boys to survive and maintain her beauty. Now her best friend, oddly named Needy, who is a little nerdy and not as popular (all due to the glasses and a ponytail) must figure out how to stop her from killing all of the towns boys before she sets her eyes on her boyfriend Chip.

I love the dialogue, it's too funny. Being hot is referred to as being "salty" and being jealous is being "jello". I can see teen girls using these catch phrases all around school after this. Really, when Needy faces off against Jennifer, Jennifer says, "Don't be such a player hater!" Classic. Seriously, even Roger Ebert was surprised by this movie. You expect it to be another cheesy, slasher, teen horror flick, yet, it's so much more. It's also produced by Diablo Cody, the same person who did Juno. Rent it, or buy it today!
