Please Don't Resuscitate Jennifer's Body!



Jennifer's Body hit movie theaters in 2009 and starred Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried. This film was a great concept, but was a bad movie. I don't know if this film was the result of being poorly written, bad acting or just a combination of the two. The premise of Jennifer's Body was a simple one. The movie is set in the fictional small town and a girl named Jennifer, played by Megan Fox, becomes demon possessed when a local rock band thinking she was a virgin sacrifices her to the devil so they can get fame and fortune. The lead singer of the band, Nikolai, played by Adam Brody, kills her in sacrifice, but Jennifer is not a virgin and a demon possesses her and she begins to kill and feed on the males at her school.



Anita also known as Needy, played by Amanda Seyfried is Jennifer's long time, insecure, childhood best friend. Needy becomes suspicious of Jennifer when the night she leaves with the rock band Jennifer mysteriously pops up at Needy's home later on and vomits black fluid on her kitchen floor.

As the movie goes on more people die, Needy does research and finds out how to kill Jennifer and finally does. While in attempting to kill her Needy is bitten by Jennifer, but ultimately she stabs Jennifer in the heart killing her. Jennifer's mom walks in and Needy is sentenced to an insane asylum. In Needy having been bitten by Jennifer and have lived some of Jennifer's powers were transferred to Needy. With her new found powers she breaks out of the insane asylum and tracks down the rock band that sacrificed Jennifer and murders them all.

I felt like this movie was missing something. Like something could have been done differently or enhanced in some way. Maybe there are a few that enjoyed this film, but I am not one of those few. I am glad that I saw this movie OnDemand for free and did not make the mistake of out of curiosity buying this movie on DVD. Hopefully this film will fade off into the abyss of nothingness.
