The premise

Jennifer, a gorgeous, seductive cheerleader takes evil to a whole new level after she's possessed by a sinister demon. Now it's up to her best friend to stop Jennifer's reign of terror before it's too late.

Horror Vault's take

When a charismatic cheerleader returns from a night out with a sketchy rock band, something deeply wrong has taken root inside her — and the body count in her small Minnesota town begins to rise. Her bookish best friend senses the change but struggles to reconcile the monster with the girl she's known her whole life. Equal parts pitch-black comedy and visceral horror, Jennifer's Body skewers high-school social hierarchies while delivering genuine moments of dread. Diablo Cody's sharp script and Karyn Kusama's direction give this tale of demonic hunger a distinctly feminist bite.
