Jennifer's Body
Megan Fox plays Jennifer, a high school hottie in the small town of Devil's Kettle who, while wildly popular, continues to be BFFs with her nebbish childhood buddy, Needy (Amanda Seyfried). Jennifer and Needy have a complicated and symbiotic relationship, but things get even more complicated when a struggling emo band with an interest in the occult (not joking!) and a lead singer played by the hilarious Adam Brody (Seth from The O.C.—not joking!) accidentally turn Jennifer into an intestines-devouring demon. As the newly demonized Jennifer feeds on the horny teenage boys of Devil's Kettle, the town is brought to its knees—and all of Jennifer and Needy's relationship issues bubble up to the surface. Jennifer's Body is smart, creepy, funny, thoughtful, disgusting, and, for a horror movie, surprisingly pro-woman.
