"Jennifer's Body" is the second movie written by Academy Award winning "Juno" writer Diablo Cody and stars Megan Fox. The film's genre is a dark comedy with horror elements. Megan Fox plays Jennifer, a beautiful high school student who gets possessed by satan and starts killing and eating her male classmates. Megan Fox is so unbelievably good looking in this movie it's crazy. When Jennifer doesn't feast for a while it starts to hurt her appearance, but with Megan Fox playing her that never seemed to happened. "Mamma Mia!" star Amanda Seyfried plays Needy, Jennifer's best friend who strives to end her devilish rampage. The film also stars J.K. Simmons ("Spider-Man") playing a teacher, Amy Sedaris ("Strangers with Candy") playing Needy's mother, and Adam Brody ("The OC"). Brody plays a singer, who along with his bandmates possessed Jennifer. Simmons, Sedaris, and Brody all were very funny in the film and I wish they all had more scenes, especially Simmons and Sedaris. "Jennifer's Body" was directed by "Girlfight" and "Æon Flux" director Karyn Kusama. The film reminds me of several other horror movies like 1976's "Carrie", 1985's "Fright Night", and 1987's "The Lost Boys". Despite a couple flaws here and there "Jennifer's Body" still receives a decent 3 wheelchairs out of 5. View Trailer Here
