I decided to watch Jennifer's Body for the same reason as the latest two Twilight films: to just see how awful it could get! People have already said to me 'why watch it if you knew it was going to be awful?' Simple answer: because watching an awful film can be fun so you can just see how pathetic things can go and I just start laughing my head off AT it. This was a 'Ohh f**k it!' film and that's all it really is. Pretty much every single thing in this film was just dreadful! There were quite a lot of 'uhh... what the f**k?' moments that just made me laugh with pity.
Megan Fox stars as a cheerleader who's taken over by a demon and starts eating the local boys. Megan Fox is officially the most overrated woman alive who is like an instant turn-on for its audience (like Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner in New Moon and Eclipse) and she cannot act AT ALL. Now they are the things that those three actors have in common. I mean, a demon who is a cheerleader and only eating boys?! What was the point? If it has showed us anything, it has showed us that Megan is an awful actress who can just play a so-called attractive prostitute which is what she was like in this film! She was just as awful and an instant turn-on like in the two Transformers films. Amanda Seyfried, what were you thinking? I began to grow fond of her until she starred in this film! She didn't even save the film!
My oh my and we thought the directing couldn't have got any worse?! It was like a director like Uwe Boll or Michael Bay had directed it. I mean, Karyn Kusama has already shown after this (and presumably after Aeon Flux) that she is a poor filmmaker and just doesn't catch its audiences attention without turning them on with the leading female actress in the role.
Overall, Jennifer's Body is an absolutely appalling film that I just find an absolute disgrace and embarrassment to the horror genre and to cinema in general.
