Jennifer's Body - Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody's follow up to her 2007 debut Juno - hits screens in the UK and Ireland on November 6th (with advance previews on Halloween), and features Megan Fox as a gorgeous (and superficial) cheerleader who becomes possessed by a demonic force. With an insatiable appetite that spells bad news for the local high school boys, it is up to Jennifer's best friend Needy (Amanda Seyfried) to step out of her shadow and protect the town's young men. The film - described as a "sexy, dark comedy" - is directed by Karyn Kusama (Girlfight, Aeon Flux) and produced by Jason Reitman (director of Cody's Juno and subject of our latest filmmaker profile), while the cast also includes Adam Brody and J.K. Simmons.
“I think a big issue in horror films lately is that the permission for the audience to conjure up their own monster has been taken away,” says Kusama. “To give that back to an audience and say... what if the most popular, beautiful girl in school is a demon... for real, is a brilliant premise." So, if you want that back (or the thought of a semi-clad Megan Fox sparks your interest), Jennifer's Body may just be for you. Check out the 'red band' trailer:
