Satanic rit­u­als, demonic trans­fer­ences, thriv­ing off of human blood to stay full; “Jennifer’s Body” is not really what I expected.

Why did Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried take on a movie like this? I mean, from their hit movies “Transformers” and “Mamma Mia” to a movie line about a girl killing boys?

Maybe this movie will be big because of that, but I wasn’t too impressed. It’s the typ­i­cal movie where I knew how it ended. I can’t deny the great act­ing from the two young stars, but this is not the type of movie I see them doing.

Fox plays Jennifer Check, the girl every­one wants to be friends with. Seyfried plays Jennifer’s best friend, Needy Lesnicky. After a night out to a tav­ern, Jennifer goes with a mys­te­ri­ous band and is used for a satanic rit­ual. Next thing Needy knows, Jennifer is killing their school’s boys for their blood to stay full, healthy, and beautiful.

Jennifer's Body Review Stats

The graph­ics are okay, the gore is not bad, but the gen­eral sto­ry­line was pretty lame. The good girl into a demonic killer reminds me of a “Carrie”/”The Exorcist” mix.

Not to men­tion what hap­pens at the end; I wasn’t expect­ing what hap­pens, I’ll admit, but it still fol­lows the sto­ry­line of a lot of hor­ror movies. I want some­thing new that I didn’t see com­ing. I did like how it was put together though because it made me ask myself ques­tions like, “How’d this happen?”

I liked the actors in this movie so I fig­ured I’d take a risk and go see this one, as I did with “Whiteout,” but I didn’t have the same reac­tion. It’s a typ­i­cal hor­ror movie, but with more sex­ual innu­en­dos. If you like that mix, the movie is all yours.
