| "Hell is a teenage girl." That's the opening line in Jennifer’s Body, a satirical 2009 horror movie about a teenage vixen (Megan Fox) who kills and eats parts of boys from her school. It’s not like she wasn’t provoked: her killing spree starts after she is carved up by the members of a satanic rock group.
The botched sacrifice turns her into a demon with a taste for organ donation (from boys only). The film is like an episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, but sexier and bloodier and with lesbian overtones. Amanda Seyfried plays her bewildered best friend, attracted by some of the same things as the boys.
