I Love Horror – A horror blog devoted to the critical, analytical, and cynical assessment of the horror industry and horror films.

The interblags have been all atwitter over the forthcoming release of Juno scribe Diablo Cody’s next film, a horror-comedy titled Jennifer’s Body. Aside from simply being another horror comedy, it stars Megan Fox, the Angelina Jolie doppelganger and star of the Transformers films, a fact seemingly more important than anything else related to the film. For most, this is the most appealing part of the movie, as there was once a rumor going around that she would be naked in it. Sadly, the rumor has been proven false, and once again we are robbed of a wonderful distraction to her terrible acting.

Concerning the experience filming Jennifer’s Body, Megan Fox had this to say:

Diablo is so wicked and funny and it was hard to really make a film that was up to her script but I think Karyn (Kusama, the director) did a pretty good job and I think it’s one of the most interesting movies coming out this year for sure. It’s offbeat comedy.  It’s inappropriate comedy which I find to be the funniest.

Now the plot summary, yanked from Wikipedia:

The film follows Jennifer (Megan Fox), a mean-girl cheerleader possessed by a demon who begins feeding off the boys in a Minnesota farming town. It is then up to her “plain Jane” best friend Needy (Amanda Seyfried) to kill Jennifer, escape from a correctional facility and go after lead singer Nikolai (Adam Brody) and his Satan-worshiping rock band responsible for the transformation.

Aside from the glaring miscast of Amanda Seyfriend as a “plain Jane” character, the rest of the cast seems to be a mix of nothing more than annoying teens and all the adults in Juno, which is actually kind of cool ’cause J. K. Simmons is awesome. This, however, says nothing of the plot, which is so ridiculous it’s mind-blowing.

I have nothing more to say regarding this movie. Megan Fox sucks, Diablo Cody is overrated, and I’m getting sick of the incessant fawning over this film and the uproar over Fox not getting nude in it.

Of course, I’ll still see it, ’cause I’m a sheep.
