Jennifer’s Body, hot demon action or just another ‘private’ time aid for the lads?

Posted by Ms Harker | Filed under Horror Films, Horror Genres

I will be brutally honest with you. I have been avoiding most news about ‘Jennifer’s Body‘ for a number of reasons. Primarily Megan Fox urks me, not because she’s hot, because she may make my ‘free cheat list’ (along with Johnny Depp, Robert Downey Jnr, Drew Barrymore JH and I share Drew on the list so I don’t think a ‘menage a trois’ is counted as cheating, finally Alexander Skarsgard is in reserve).

I digress, I am also excited about the lovely Diablo Cody making a foray into the horror genre, however am dubious about Ms Fox’s abilities to carry it off without being simply another addition to most men’s masturbation aids. My other reservation is that it has been a while since I have seen some good (emphasis on good) steal your soul, reek some havoc, steam it up rock out with your tits out demon possession. Don’t get me wrong now; I mean power to the sisterhood use your assets to swallow those members… soul and all, bringing your local male community to its knees. This can be done well or it can turn out like porn with blood and entrails.

However I just viewed a clip at Shock Til You Drop which may have restored my faith in the film’s possibilities. Not too cheesy seduction line, humorous Emo crack, then a spooky line of how she needs her victim scared and hopeless so he tastes good. Fabulous! The film releases September 18th, check out the red band trailer (courtesy of First Showing ) and try to stay calm viewing the poster (thanks to Bloody-Disgusting) with Megan Fox dressed as a school girl. If you need some ‘private’ time, I advise you back away from the keyboard.

    I am still unimpressed. Megan Fox always seems to deliver every line with the same ho-hum delivery, which may really be part of the character here, but for the trailer it’s just boring.

    That it’s rated R may be it’s saving grace coz I know it should be (should be the important word there) full of gore.

    It should be gory, important to remember its supposed to be a comedy too. The R is probably due to her getting her kit off and bonking half the town !!!

    Still can’t get into it. You’re gonna have to be the canary in a coal mine on this one.

    Though, on seeing the clip, I think it’s a bit harsh that cute-as-a-button Amanda Seyfried is being sold as the frumpy friend.

    I thought painting her as frumpy was harsh too crwmn, she has stunning eyes also a fabulous actress.
