JENNIFER'S BODY — A high school hottie named Jennifer (Megan Fox) starts eviscerating the boys in her class after she's possessed by a bile-spewing she-demon. Only Jennifer's best friend Needy (Amanda Seyfried) can stop the carnage. That's the premise screenwriter Diablo Cody ("Juno") uses in her attempt to re-invent the horror comedy with smart-mouthed dialogue and a tricky feminist subtext. Cody doesn't completely succeed in her quest — the plot is full of gaping holes and there's not nearly enough jolts — but "Jennifer's Body" provides plenty of scary, funhouse thrills.
Extras: both the extended and theatrical cuts of the film as well as commentaries by Cody and director Karyn Kusama.
