Jennifer's Body (2009)


 

A newly possessed high school cheerleader turns into a succubus who specializes in killing her male classmates.

A horror film wrapped up in a feminist message works both ways as genre movie and as political statement, but some male audiences might not notice.

Maltin**: "Attempt to layer horror-movie tropes onto a story of female friendship (and the roles young women inhabit) doesn't work. Written by Diablo Cody, but this teenage outsider isn't as easy to embrace as the heroine of JUNO."
