Screenwriter Diablo Cody provides the script, with producing duties handled by Jason Reitman and Dan Dubiecki. The story centers on an impish high-school student (Amanda Seyfried) who has to protect her town against her best friend, Jennifer (Megan Fox), who after being bedeviled by an evil rock band, develops a taste for human flesh. Girlfight's Karyn Kusama directs the Fox Atomic production. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Nigel Floyd, Time Out
By tapping in to the same vein of 'hormonal horror' as the excellent 'Ginger Snaps', this offers a witty, subversive look at the darker side of teen friendship.

'Jennifer's Body': Kusama-Cody's Post-"Carrie" Horror Feminism Is Inept
-
Noah Berlatsky, Chicago Reader
The flashes of competence just emphasize the extent to which the film has no idea what it's doing.
-
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
[Cody's] glib teen-hip dialogue mostly feels like self-conscious splatter over a sorely lackluster scare flick.
-
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
Apparently, there's nothing like lean and hungry times to awaken the undead.
