PopHorror Let's Get Scared
It’s been 15 years since we were introduced to the iconic Jennifer’s Body.
Synopsis
A newly-possessed high-school cheerleader Jennifer (Megan Fox) turns into a succubus who specializes in killing her male classmates. Can her best friend Needy (Amanda Seyfried) put an end to the horror?
I’m so happy it gained a cult following and it’s getting the love it deserves. I’ll be honest I’m not a huge fan of Megan Fox but I absolutely love her in Jennifer’s Body! She is, to say the least, iconic. I also didn’t realize how well I knew this movie until I re-watched it we are talking word for word. Not to mention it has one of the best songs by a fiction band. I feelI can say this because after 15 years I still have Through The Trees in my playlist.
