Jennifer's Body
2009movie
Jennifer's Body is perhaps the greatest horror-comedy of the 2000s. Directed by horror maestro Karyn Kusama and written by Diablo Cody, the cult classic is the perfect teenage metaphor for losing friends to adulthood in a beautifully done satire. Everyone remembers the blend of witty, comedic dialogue, and brutal, demonic horror, along with the iconic performances of Megan Fox as demon-possessed "it girl" Jennifer Check and Amanda Seyfried as the lovably dorky Needy Lesnicki.
With her penning Jennifer's Body, as well as having actresses like Megan Fox, who was the leading actress of some of the highest grossing films of the 2000s, and Amanda Seyfried, who showed off her comedy chops in Mean Girls, Jennifer's Body should have been a critical and commercial success, especially with Karyn Kusama's vision for this feminist, queer.
