Jennifer’s Body is a smooth and cool teenybopper high school horror film in which a indie band of Satan worshipers abducts and scarifies a girl they think is a virgin in order to rise to the top of the crowded indie scene. Only the girl is not a virgin, which means she becomes (by virtue of their particular ceremony) a flesh eating demon who then begins preying on boys in the school.

This film is pretty tastefully done for what it is. It is not super deep, and it doesn’t want to be. It has really good high school sass lines, a kicking soundtrack, a fairly coherent story, and Megan Fox is an undeniable BEAST. This last fact is very important, because really the whole point of the movie is watching her strut around luring boys to their doom. Amanda Seyfried is adorable as the homely best friend who has to try to stop the killing rampage.

It’s always nice to see Adam Brody in a roll … any roll. He is great playing the very limited roll of the leader of the indie band of Satan worshipers. But I worry that his career may be on a downward trajectory. He is a good actor, is cute as hell, and is very warm on screen – he should be landing better rolls than this.

As for the extended lesbian kissing scene between Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried (which serves absolutely no purpose in the film, other than to get people’s blood pumping), it is really poorly filmed. It’s filmed so close that all you see are mouths. The point of it is not to make a study of mouths! The point is that you have these two bitchin’-hot women kissing each other – it only works if you can actually see them. A real opportunity (of sorts) was missed here. They should have studied the lesbian kissing scene in Cruel Intentions to see how it’s done, not that I am a connoisseur of lesbian kissing scenes, mind you.

Anyway, this film is a fun diversion as long as you don’t take it too seriously and don’t expect it to be any more than it is.
