The success of transformers did two things, make me go out and but a transforming bumblebee toy that plays "whip it" and bring to the attention of the world Megan Fox. Surely it wouldn't be long before she played in another film cashing in both herself and the studios of her international success. Along comes Jennifer's Body.
I have to admit that at first i steered clear of what looked to be a bombshell of a movie. I know that old saying, never judge a book by its cover and once again i have been proven wrong. Other then a night with not much to do then watch a random movie there was not much motivating me to watch this other then why the hell not. Surprisingly it wasn't a bad flick.
A classic girl becomes possessed by a demon and need to keep killing in order stay young and beautiful story line, the film actually starts with and already insane young girl in a mental institute back telling the story of how she got there. personally i didn't like the continuous narrating leaving you to assume that your audience was a pack of imbeciles that couldn't follow the story line.
Of particular note was Adam Brody of OC fame who I thought was brought in as a Famous face along with Megan Fox to draw a crowd (upcoming spoiler) but in the end brought me some satisfaction in seeing him slaughtered in a pleasing manner with the very knife that started the whole thing. Another good triumphs over evil again.
Courtney Loves Violet finishes off the film. a personal favorite of mine from when I was that age adding a nice touch at the end.
Conclusion: Considering I thought that it would be a rubbish film I was quite pleased to see that I was wrong. The demonic fox was quite disturbing and makes you never want to walk into a forest with a sexy girl again. Compared to similar demon vampire like super spirit films i think they didn't go too over the top with the demon abilities and in the end delivered a decent genre film.
Rating: Misjudged
