Movie 2009.12.14 - Jennifer's Body

I wonder why they called the movie Jennifer's Body, as I didn't get to see much of it. Yeah, there were parts where Jennifer took off her clothes (while seducing her victims), but none of the good parts were shown.

The story has nothing to do with Jennifer's body though. Murdered in the woods as part of a Satanic rite sacrifice by a rock band after fame and fortune, Jennifer comes back from the dead with the demon inside her because the ritual asks for a virgin, and she's not. She attains some superhuman powers, but these wane after a few days. To top up her powers, Jennifer needs blood, so she preys on her male classmates. Best friend Anita starts getting suspicious about the weird things happening. She does some research in the occult section of the library and comes to the conclusion that Jennifer is a succubus. She then tells her boyfriend Chip to stay away from Jennifer.

School dance time. Jennifer seduces Chip, leads him to the nearby pool house, and proceeds to feed on his neck. Anita manages to save Chip from Jennifer, but he later dies from loss of blood. Furious, Anita later sneaks into Jennifer's bedroom, and kills her by stabbing a boxcutter into her heart. For this, she was confined in a mental asylum. Having been scratched by Jennifer during their confrontation, Anita assumes some of her superpowers and is able to break out of the asylum easily. She hitchhikes her way to the hotel where the band is staying, and kills them all.

Unbelievable (not in a good way) performances. False advertisement - didn't see much of Jennifer's body. Plot is too simplistic. Pass.
