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.

    Black horror comedy for teens starring Megan Fox? indeed. Ooook first problem here is the fact this film is rated R, so teens can't see it, at least young teens who lust after celebs like this and adults will find this complete and utter poo soooooo...... Plot is utterly utterly… More

    When it came out, "Jennifer's Body" looked like it would be a massive hit, bringing Riot Grrl attitude to a long-overdue girls-on-top reversal of many of the tropes of the horror genre. Dreamed up by Diablo Cody (fresh off her Oscar-winning triumph with… More
