"That was my favorite part about the script and nearly the character. Information technology's fun to be able to say the shit that she got to say and become away with it and how people notice it charming."^[14] Asked how interim in a motion-picture show like this is different from acting in Transformers, Fox said "at that place's [no] distractions, like there's no robots to distract you from any performance I do give.

I was simply sort of flying freely and I hope some of information technology works."^[xiv] To prepare for her part every bit a living-dead teenager, Fox dropped to a nearly-frail 97 pounds and stayed out of the sun to keep her pare pale. In balancing out the movie's horror with humor, she said she relied heavily on Diablo Cody's script and Karyn Kusama's direction to pull it off, stating, "I have a very specific sense of humor, things that I think are funny aren't going to wing with center America. It's going to eliminate some of the audience, so y'all demand someone there to tell yous yous can't do that."^[fifteen]

"Existence a lead (similar Megan), you lot accept that weird pressure level of feeling like you have to look bonny," she stated. "In this picture show, I didn't worry about any of that shit.

Production [edit]

Development [edit]

Jennifer's Body is the follow-upward to author and producer Diablo Cody and Jason Reitman's collaboration efforts on Juno. In October 2007, Flim-flam Atomic pre-emptively purchased the rights to Cody'south script with Megan Trick to star. Peter Rice, who at the time oversaw Play a trick on Searchlight and Fox Diminutive, brought in the projection equally Fox Searchlight had previously distributed Cody'due south film Juno.^[22] Mason Novick and Reitman's producing partner Dan Dubiecki signed as producers in November 2007 with plans to produce the film under Hard C, which is housed at Flim-flam Searchlight. Reitman commented, "Nosotros desire to make unusual films, and anything that turns a genre on its ear interests Dan and I."^[5] Karyn Kusama took over every bit director in January 2008.^[23] Kusama said she signed on to the project because of the script. "I was blessed to read this script at a moment where the producers were meeting with directors and it just knocked me out. It was merely so original, so imaginative", she stated. "That'south what it is near this script and the globe is that it feels like a fairy tale gone psycho and I think that'due south what well-nigh fairy tales actually started as."^[14] Additionally, Cody, Reitman and Kusama knew the film would be R rated because of the language.^[fourteen]

I recall cracking open my father'south light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation disk of Nightmare on Elm Street and having the coolest movie moments of my childhood and I can't imagine having that experience with any other genre. I tin can't imagine dangerously opening a broad comedy in the heart of the night hoping I wouldn't get defenseless. I take an idea at that place'southward a child out there who will exist secretly opening up a Blu-ray of Jennifer's Body and I think it's pretty exciting to all of us.

—Jason Reitman^[14]

In February 2008, a cease and desist was given to a writer at CC2K.us later on they posted an advance script review for the film.^[24] The Latino Review likewise posted an advance review.^[25] At the time CC2K.us received their cease and desist order, questions were raised why Latino Review's largely positive script review was allowed to stay posted while CC2K was beingness forced by Fox Searchlight to remove their mainly negative coverage.^[26] Although Latino Review was afterwards asked to remove their review, numerous other websites and blogs published their own critiques of the script.^{[27] [28] [29]}

Cody stated that when writing the script, she was "simultaneously trying to pay tribute to some of the conventions that we've already seen in horror, yet, at the same time, kind of plough them on their ear".^[14] Ane of her influences from the 1980s horror genre was the film The Lost Boys. She wanted to "accolade that, and at the same fourth dimension, [she] had never actually seen this particular subgenre washed with girls and [she] tried to do a petty of both".^[14] Despite this, she said she had noticed that "the last survivor standing in the typical horror film is a adult female" and that because of this she feels "horror has always had kind of a feminist angle to it in a weird mode and, at the aforementioned time, it'south kind of delightfully exploitative". Jennifer'due south Body could play on both of these aspects.^[14]

Cody said she wanted the pic to speak to female person empowerment and explore the complex relationships between all-time friends.^[6] "(Director) Karyn Kusama and I are both outspoken feminists", she said. "We wanted to subvert the classic horror model of women being terrorized. I want to write roles that service women. I want to tell stories from a female person perspective. I want to create good parts for actresses where they're not just accessories to men."^{[half dozen]} Addressing "the male person-dominated" horror genre, Cody said "a primal reason for writing the movie was to bring to the screen a new way of expressing the intensity of female bonds" and that the adolescent female friendships she experienced were unparalleled in their intensity. She wanted to testify the "almost horrific" aspect of such devotion and its relation to parasitism.^[half-dozen]

The producers decided to have the pic open with the statement "Hell is a teenage girl" to reflect the "horrors" of puberty and that "the hellish emotions felt during high school often reappear as teenage girls mature into young women".^[6] Cody stated:

There's the scene where Jennifer'southward sitting lonely smearing makeup on her face. I e'er thought that was such a sad paradigm. She's so vulnerable. I don't know whatever woman who hasn't had a moment sitting in front of the mirror and thinking, 'Help me, I want to be somebody else.' What makes it extra affecting is that [Megan Fox] is stunning.^[six]

Cody crafted the story to follow a night that ends in a tragic fire, afterwards which Jennifer is kidnapped and set up equally a sacrifice which goes awry. Jennifer, now possessed by a demon and subsequently altered into a succubus, sets out on a bloody rampage in which she devours boys, and it is upward to Needy to stop her. In sort of a reversal attribute of how puberty changes a girl's life, Jennifer must consume the claret of others once a month or she becomes weak and plain-looking.^[xxx] "Information technology's a meek shall inherit the Earth sort of thing. I think it's ever actually satisfying and cathartic to come across a graphic symbol that was previously bullied become super man", said Cody.^[half-dozen] Cody said the script is not a reflection of whatsoever role of her own life, just that she is more than like character Needy. "I would say I was more of a Needy than a Jennifer. I was never an Alpha female, and I've never gotten off with bullying other people", she said. "If I had to choose, I was definitely the one being shoved, not the one shoving."^[6]

The nickname "Needy" was given to Seyfried'due south character to underline the essentially condescending dynamic in Jennifer and Needy'south high school relationship,^[31] equally Needy oftentimes admires Jennifer and feels she needs her. Cody said "Jennifer is a product of a culture that pressures girls to exist skinny, beautiful and just like flick stars" and that she "hopes the film inspires girls to take life into their own hands and exercise with it, what they want".^{[half dozen]} "If I had gone to this movie as a teenage girl, I would've come out of it feeling totally inspired", she stated. "I would've wanted to write, I would've wanted to create and I would've felt like I watched something that was speaking to me."^[6]

Assigned to direct the film, Kusama said, "I think also a lot of horror is about femaleness – whether it'southward Carrie or Rosemary's Baby."^[14] She said she feels "like in that location's a lot of fear of the female or kind of celebration of it in some weird style and something about this movie managed to accept the fear and the sense that it's the female that ultimately survives and sort of marry that in a really interesting way".^[14]

Addressing her decision to have Jennifer and Needy be romantically intimate at ane signal during the picture, which takes identify in the class of a long and passionate kissing scene, Cody said she did not write the scene to score publicity.^[17] Speaking of the scene's media hype, she said that "if the two protagonists of the film were a guy and a girl and in a particularly tense moment, they shared a kiss, no 1 would say it was free" merely "the fact that they're women means it's some kind of stunt". The scene was "intended to be something profound and meaningful" to her and Kusama.^[17] She further stated:

Obviously nosotros knew people were going to totally sensationalize information technology. They're cute girls, the scene is hot—I'm not agape to say that. At that place is a sexual free energy between the girls which is kind of accurate, because I know when I was a teen-aged girl, the friendships that I had with other girls were nigh romantic, they were so intense. I wanted to sleep at my friend'south business firm every dark, I wanted to wear her wearing apparel, we would talk on the telephone until our ears ached. I wanted to capture that heightened feeling you lot get as an boyish that you don't really experience as a grownup. (laughs) You like [your] friends when yous're a grownup, merely you don't need to slumber in the same bed with them and talk to them on the phone until 5 a.yard. every night.^[17]

Though the moving picture is part comedy, Cody initially intended for it to be a "very nighttime, very brooding" traditional slasher film. Close to "a tertiary of the way into the process" she felt that she was incapable of doing so because "the humour just kept sneaking in". She stated, "I accept a macabre sense of sense of humor. A lot of the things in the movie that are horrifying are funny to me." Feeling that "comedy films and horror films are kind of similar" due to being films where you lot tin significantly gauge intense reactions from the audition, Cody stated, "They're laughing, they're screaming, it'south not a passive experience. So, I really think comedy and horror are kind of similar in that fashion."^[14]

Pattern and effects [edit]

One of the makeup designs in the film for Jennifer'due south mouth while the graphic symbol is in demonic form. Fox explained that the jaw unhinges sort of similar a ophidian's so that Jennifer can "fully envelop" her victims.^[32] Unlike a snake, the grapheme has long, sharp teeth in lodge to tear the flesh from her victims' bodies as she eats them.

Handling the film's special effects were KNB EFX GROUP and the Moving Picture show Company (MPC). For Jennifer's demonic form, the creators used dissimilar techniques. "I actually wasn't in [the makeup chair] that much because they created an entire head. They did a live bandage of me from the shoulders upward. They created me and so put the teeth in", stated Fox. "To salve my face, they had a photo double that would come up in and practice most of the crazy monster makeup - they would do that on her. So it would go from me, then in post-production information technology would somehow get to her and the false head. They would mix them all together."^[15]

For the "vomit scene" where Jennifer has just arrived at Needy'due south house afterward being murdered and inhabited by a demon, Trick said the liquid she was given to spit out "was actually ... chocolate syrup initially".^[14] "Nosotros did a few takes where I would only exercise this scream and sort of puke Hershey's chocolate syrup. Scratch the Hershey's because I don't want to endorse that or annihilation", she stated. "And then, special effects did a rig that clamps onto my ear and you revisit information technology in the pool scene ..." Fox said it "clips on. It goes around the back of my ear and then I bite down on it on the side of my confront, like this, and it projectiles. It'southward a tube ..."^[xiv]

Directing the scene, Kusama said information technology had a classic feel. Fox agreed, "Yeah, and it projects whatever that material was. I'chiliad not sure. It was pretty intense. I think information technology was worse for [Seyfried] considering she's the one that got puked on. I was the i doing the puking."^[14]

For more practical special effects on the prepare as opposed to CG, Kusama said it "was a option that we all sort of made organically". She said they appreciate "those kind of effects in older movies and [questions] sometimes how much more effective it is to use a ton of CG" and that they "always started with a practical effect and and then moved forwards from there to lay a groundwork of something that's actually physically, materially there". They institute this to be more enjoyable.^[14]

Before nosotros started shooting, it involved the total appliance fastened to [Fox's] face and and then her real jaw would be greened essentially within of her mouth and then the apparatus would drop below her existent jaw then visual effects substantially owned everything in her mouth and everything exterior would've been a special effects appliance. And and so at that place would've been a lot of clean up too because of the manner it attached to her face.

—Erik Nordby on the construction of Jennifer'due south demonic oral fissure and jaw^[33]

Erik Nordby of KNB (known for his work on The Haunting in Connecticut, which besides features co-star Kyle Gallner) stated, "We immediately went into pitch mode in January and spent a solid 2 weeks trying to not simply bid the script simply also collect as much reference material and stuff for the first customer get together."^[33] He said the director and producers wanted an "onetime-school, hands-off, lo-fi arroyo to the visual effects" so that the horror elements would not overpower the storyline.^[33] Based on the script, MPC similarly came to the same decision and "provided a clear direction" for Nordby and his team. "At that betoken when nosotros met with them, they had already met with KNB, who had already done upwards a stylized still of what, at the fourth dimension, they were calling 'Evil Jennifer,'" he said. "There was a lot of info withal to come, but based on the script, Jennifer goes from very beautiful Megan Fox to a very ghoulish, succubus creature whose jaw distends one-half-way down her face." Nordby said the look was somewhen toned down at the wishes of MPC. From there, KNB "produced some tests, grabbing a bunch of stills from [Play tricks] and [did their] work to point how that balance could exist between special effects and visual effects and still maintain a level of subtlety" and that "[MPC] responded really well".^[33]

The teams wanted to "maintain some sort of the Megan Flim-flam attraction" merely said that it was "incredibly difficult considering as before long as [they] warped her confront in any management, the shine kind of came off it". To gainsay this, they ended upwards focusing on annihilation below her olfactory organ, where they had the liberty to make things "as horrific as [they] needed to" and then to a higher place her nose, "[they] could manipulate information technology somewhat with warps and color correction in her centre sockets. So fifty-fifty at her worst, she had some of that sexiness throughout".^[33]

Nordby said most of the attention was devoted to Jennifer's face up and that "very quickly in combination" with special effects and makeup, MPC thought upwards a v-station system for what Jennifer goes through. Nordby stated:

Stage one is beautiful Jennifer and then two and three were strictly makeup where her optics get more than recessed and she would start to look plain like the rest of united states of america. And phase four was some custom dentures that KNB made for her, and then visual furnishings in stage four was mainly facial warping and recessing her optics some more than and having a pinning result to her irises and a diverseness of other musculature deforms, merely bringing her cheek bones down more than. And stage five was the total on, equally crazy as it gets, which y'all don't actually come across until almost the terminate.^[33]

During testing, Nordby and the special effects teams realized that getting Play a joke on in and out of the apparatus used to create Jennifer's murderous jaw would exist too time-consuming. To remedy this, they hired a photograph double. "[E]very day (for most x days) she would sit in a chair with this full appliance on her and we would shoot this jaw, and then all [Fox] would accept to practice is the dentures", stated Nordby. He said that "when it came fourth dimension to shoot any of these jaw moments, [Fox] would human activity out in rehearsal how she was going to attack her victim and [they would] fine tune that blocking and so it was relatively locked".^[33] The photographic camera accompanied them in the same fashion, every bit "information technology would roll and she would put her dentures in, and they would really distort her confront" in a way that would produce a satisfying and nice side result. Additionally, the team would take Pull a fast one on vesture contact lenses and go through exactly the same motions as normal Jennifer. "Just and then I would shoot all the key poses that existed in whatever moves the digital double was doing, so that we had as much of that appliance in that lighting condition that we could go", said Nordby. "KNB also created a hairless but high detailed head of the stage five Jennifer that had an articulating jaw."^[33]

Seyfried (left) as Needy during the fire which leads to Jennifer'south kidnapping, and Fox (right) every bit demonic Jennifer a month after the incident; the special effects teams recessed the grapheme's eyes and added a pinning outcome to her irises, along with a diversity of other musculature deforms to create the illusion.^[33]

Nordby spent a significant amount of time shooting "the articulating jaw" scene because they had "ultimate command over how the calorie-free was hitting the head". He said, "This then-called jaw shot became a pivotal point, because for iv months of the post, the filmmakers idea the picture was getting too scary so MPC pulled back on the jaw and then they idea it wasn't scary enough."^[33] Because of this, "they pushed back and this jaw went dorsum and forth quite a chip to assistance navigate where they wanted the tone on any given day". These different poses helped the two teams perfect the jaw scenes. "From a marketing bespeak of view, from all the test screenings they did", said Nordby, "at that place was a lot of work figuring out how to make this a scary pic every bit well as a funny film."^[33] Since the squad was on a small-scale budget, they "relied more on skilled artists to think through shots rather than a animate being force approach".^[33]

MPC additionally worked on the disappearing waterfall that serves as Jennifer's grave when she is killed at the beginning of the motion picture. They transformed the mysterious waterfall into a whirlpool. "Nosotros came up with an approach that we thought would work because we had a lot of confidence in our water sims", stated Nordby. "The waterfall appears both every bit a mean solar day and night shot, and then we had to integrate with the water. And the dark shots play a pivotal role in the movie, and we do a huge crane over."^[33] They could not lock it to a pan or to a tilt and filming the shots was difficult due to the actual base of the waterfall being out of reach. Nordby said, "I somewhen lowered down a shot—a ton of reference of the expanse because I knew we'd have to do some digi-matte work to recreate the bowl that the whirlpool ends up in." They soon realized that in that location was an insufficient amount of churning and cream to read as real as the location. The CG Supervisor, Pete Dionne, presented a different thought. "He grabbed chunks of that river and tialing it so that information technology had a dainty stretch of birds' heart point of view of the water that existed on the location in the lighting situation we were trying to match", stated Nordby. "So he projected that onto a whirlpool of blithe sprites and had similar enough texture to the actual water that existed there, but pulled control into lighting it and could add depth mainly to the heart of information technology." Dealing with "very shallow" water, the team had to accept extra intendance when filming the scenes.^[33]

During the film's fire scene, Cody appears equally a character in the barroom. "To me, I am afraid of fire and fire technics and all that stuff which is why I don't know why I asked to be in the bar scene because I've never exploded earlier", she said. She had asked to be assault fire. "That was me trying to conquer a fright. By the fashion, they would non permit me to do a full burn for insurance purposes, fifty-fifty though I argued that Burt Reynolds had done it once", stated Cody. "Merely apparently he got really hurt, so they would not allow me. To me, at that place'south nothing more horrifying than being stuck in a claustrophobic infinite equally it is burning down so, to me, information technology was more like tapping into a personal fear. That's not tough."^[14]

Filming [edit]

In tardily 2007, Fox Atomic had plans to motion picture Jennifer's Torso before a possible writer's strike. When the Writers Guild of America strike began, shooting was then moved to March 7, 2008, in Burnaby, British Columbia, specifically at Robert Burnaby Park near Cariboo Hill Secondary Schoolhouse. Some of the scenes, particularly those situated in a schoolhouse setting, were filmed in local Vancouver-surface area schools such as Vancouver Technical Secondary School, Langley Secondary School and University Hill Secondary School. The waterfalls scene was filmed at the Devil's Kettle waterfall in the Estimate C. R. Magney State Park almost Grand Marais, Minnesota.

Trick said that while filming her highly anticipated kissing scene with Seyfried that Seyfried was "extremely uncomfortable" only that she herself was not. "I experience much safer with girls, so I felt more than comfortable kissing [Seyfried] than kissing any of the other people that I had to kiss", she said.^[34] Seyfried's uneasiness in the scene acquired "giggling fits" between takes.^[34] Seyfried said that neither of them wanted to exercise the kiss considering they felt it was just for promotional purposes.^[eighteen] She agreed with Pull a fast one on that she was uneasy about acting out the scene. "It was my showtime time doing a real kissing scene with a woman", she stated. "It is just weird. It is a woman. With a woman'southward smell—soft and floraly—and perchance the pheromones are unlike. Something well-nigh it felt uncomfortable for me."^[35]

Music [edit]

Music was incorporated as an essential function of the film; there are "very specific bands" placed in band posters in some parts, such as in the choice of the band poster on the walls of the bar.^[14] Kusama said "[t]he music was a huge component of the movie" and this is first evident with "the songs that we see and hear performed, but and so, just the vibe of the movie actually". She said, "As the movie progresses, it becomes a pretty clearly music-oriented picture show. It'due south sort of a youth movie. Some of those bands were totally made up and some of them are not."^[14]

Release [edit]

Critical response [edit]

Contemporary [edit]

The review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes reports that 45% of critics gave the motion-picture show positive reviews, based on 210 reviews, and an average rating of 5.30/10. The website'due south critical consensus states, "Jennifer's Torso features occasionally clever dialogue only the horror/comic premise fails to be either funny or scary enough to satisfy."^[viii] At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average rating to reviews from mainstream critics, the film holds a score of 47 out of 100 based on 29 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".^[36] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the pic an average form of "C-" on an A+ to F scale.^[37]

Film critic Roger Ebert enjoyed the film, dubbing it a "Twilight for boys" and saying "as a film virtually a flesh-eating cheerleader, information technology's improve than it has to be." Ebert said that within Cody at that place is "the soul of an artist, and her screenplay brings to this material a sure border, a kind of gleeful savor, that's uncompromising. This isn't your assembly-line teen horror thriller". Additionally, he complimented Fox as "[coming] through" in her portrayal and "play[ing] the office straight". He gave the movie three out of 4 stars.^[38] Rick Groen of The World and Mail gave the pic iii out of four stars.^[39] Peter Travers of Rolling Rock stated information technology is "Hot! Hot! Hot!" and that "Director Karyn Kusama is torn between duty to female empowerment and slasher convention".^[40] He credited Play a trick on's portrayal as showing "a comic flair" that Transformers "never investigated".^[40] Tom Charity of CNN said "[the] concluding time a horror motion picture tried for a distinctly female betoken of view the event was Twilight, which was more of a wan gothic romance than a chiller" and "Play tricks makes a convincing vixen, callously picking upward victims whenever her luster begins to fade. It'due south not hard to imagine she can have anyone who takes her fancy". Charity credited the dialogue as "bitingly smart, funny teen-speak ... forth with sharp pop culture references".^[41]

Mary Pols of Time magazine called the film entertaining and reasoned "[t]here is a lot of intelligent camp here, and some sharply observed characterizations" and Cody and Kusama's "depiction of the ways in which women like Needy are willing to compromise themselves to indulge an ultimately less secure friend is spot-on".^[42] Dana Stevens of Slate praised the film for existence "luscious and powerful, sexy and scary, maddening at times, but impossible to terminate watching" and a "wicked black one-act with unexpected emotional resonance, one of the well-nigh purely pleasurable movies of the year and so far".^[nine] Elle 'south Karen Durbin said the motion-picture show not only puts "a fresh spin on female-centric pop genres only besides own[s] them outright" and is "rich with beginning-charge per unit performances".^[43]

The Miami Herald 's Rene Rodriguez likened the picture's "[effective exploitation] of the genre as a metaphor for adolescent malaise, female sexuality and the strange, sometimes corrosive bonds between girls who merits to be best friends" to Brian De Palma's 1976 moving picture Carrie.^[44] She applauded the pic for being fearless when delving into the discipline of teen sex activity and for reversing the notion that simply "bad girls take sex when they're sixteen [and the] good ones—those who, like Needy, do their homework and are responsible—never slide past first base".^[44] Nick Pinkerton of Sci Fi Weekly chosen Play a joke on and Seyfried'due south lesbian kissing scene "the best close-up girl-daughter liplock" since Roughshod Intentions (1999),^[31] and A. O. Scott of The New York Times concluded "the moving picture deserves—and is likely to win—a devoted cult following, despite its flaws" and that "[these flaws] are mitigated by a sensibility that mixes playful pop-civilisation ingenuity with a healthy shot of feminist anger".^[11]

Giving a partially negative review of the film was Joshua Rothkopf of Time Out New York, who said the "picture has a centerfold sheen to information technology—and some lesbianic soft-core amour to match—as its plot dives deeply into Twilight-esque heavy-melo meltdown in the last act" and that "Cody throws 1 besides many losses at Needy; the screenwriter loses her satiric way nigh halfway through. But for a while, this has real fangs".^[45] Ann Hornaday of The Washington Mail service said, "There's a certain kooky, kinky fun to exist had with Jennifer's Body" simply that "[a]dmittedly, this is the stuff of lurid boyish distraction, not smashing cinema" and "is strictly a niche item but provides a goofy, campy bookend to Drag Me to Hell (2009) on the B-movie shelf. Spotter it, forget it, move on".^[46] San Francisco Relate 's Peter Hartlaub stated, "Savor the picture show for its witty dialogue and fun performances, just know that there isn't a single skillful scare. An episode of Murder, She Wrote has more thrills."^[10] Hartlaub felt the film is non bad, is "almost always pleasing" and that Fox "proves that she has some [acting] range" but "the chances that information technology will be somebody else'southward pop culture reference 27 years from now are slim to none".^[ten] Joe Neumaier of New York Daily News said, "Flim-flam merely needs to wait either vacant or evil, which the Transformers boy-toy does spookily well" but "[w]ords and story are still the lifeblood of a movie, and Jennifer's Trunk is filled like a Twinkie with half-fleshed-out ideas".^[47] Disagreeing with Play tricks's operation, Chicago Tribune'southward Michael Phillips called Pull a fast one on "a pretty bad extra" who "doesn't seem to get Cody's sense of humor. At all".^[48] He reasoned the "pic's partially redeemed by Seyfried, who makes her character more than than a repository for audition sympathy" and "her make-out scene with Play a joke on is handled with more suspense and care than anything else in the movie".^[48]

Michael Sragow of Baltimore Sun described the merely "perfect aspect" of Jennifer's Body equally beingness its title. "No one is going to like this flick for its brain", he said.^[49] Claudia Puig of USA Today stated of the film, "Jennifer'southward Body is not as hot as yous hope information technology would exist".^[50] Where others praised the flick's dialogue, MSNBC'southward Alonso Duralde called the writing lazy and "[w]orse still, all of Cody'southward trademark pop-civilization–infused dialogue stands out every bit artificial and precious".^[30] Jennifer's Body, he said, wants "so desperately" to exist a Heathers-esque dark comedy, "but its shortcomings makes you capeesh why that before film was so great".^[thirty] Ty Burr of The Boston Globe too said the pic wants to be like Heathers, and reminded him "a lot" of Heathers just the only scene in the moving picture that "actually feels dangerous" is when the possessed Jennifer initiates a long and passionate kiss with Needy, which the film "very, very nervously backs away from" and that "Jennifer's Body falls into the dispiriting category of dumb movies fabricated by smart people, in this case a glibly clever writer and a talented manager who remember a few wisecracks are enough to subvert the teen horror genre".^[51]

Retrospective [edit]

In 2018, Constance Grady reported in Vox that a new critical consensus was forming that appreciated the film as a "forgotten feminist classic".^[12] She stated that after the Me Too movement highlighted routine sexual harassment and misconduct in the media manufacture, the motion-picture show's story of "a group of powerful men sacrificing a daughter's torso on the altar of their own professional advancement" became "uncomfortably familiar." This, according to Grady, allowed viewers to meet the pic, rather than equally a sex fantasy, as a revenge fantasy every bit Jennifer uses her abused trunk against her attackers.^[12]

Co-ordinate to the screenwriter, Diablo Cody, the picture show was marketed "all wrong". She had argued with executives who wanted "to marketplace this to boys who like Megan Fox. That's who's going to run into it. And I was like. No! This is a movie for girls as well! That audience, they did not attempt to attain."^[52]

Box office [edit]

Though the film was expected to pull in a significant number of the tardily teenage/immature developed audience, particularly males anile 17 and older, and though Cody hoped for a big female turnout,^[6] it earned a "disappointing" $2.8 one thousand thousand on its opening Fri and $6.eight million its opening weekend at the North American box role; the film placed #5, while 3D animated moving picture Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs placed #1 with $30.1 meg.^{[7] [53] [54]} Produced for $16 meg, Jennifer'south Trunk did manage to attract the sizable female audience Cody wanted; 51% were female, with lxx% of patrons under age 25.^[53] The motion-picture show had been expected to do good somewhat from its heavily marketed lesbian kissing scene between Fox and Seyfried, which, in addition to Fox beingness in the moving-picture show, was thought to entice and successfully attract male person viewers.^{[eighteen] [55]} Critic Jim Vejvoda at IGN stated that such a scene is non as shocking as it was in past decades and cannot be expected to significantly pull in an audience.^[55] The movie grossed $xvi,204,793 domestically and $fifteen,351,268 in international sales, for a worldwide total of $31,556,061.^[2]

Box-office analysts and critics debated the film's underperformance. Annotator Jeff Bock, of Exhibitor Relations, reasoned the picture show underperformed at the box function due to ii reasons; the commencement, he said, is the genre. Bock stated that Americans get horror and comedy, but with the thought "of those ii things together in one identify, people suddenly get very dumb".^[56] "The horror-one-act genre is the toughest sell in Hollywood", he said. He noted films Tremors, Slither, Shaun of the Dead, Eight Legged Freaks and The Evil Dead serial, and said that while many of those are considered critical and concern successes, "none of them have brought in the megabucks that a simple horror or comedy tin can."^[56] In addition, he labeled the Scream franchise as more "direct-up horror" than comedy and stated Zombieland 'due south box role operation would make up one's mind the horror-comedy genre's electric current viability.^[56]

Despite other R-rated horror films having centered effectually teenagers, some such as Scream having been successful, Bock said the second reason Jennifer'southward Body nether-performed at the box part is the R-rating, which he described as a "killer" for the film. He said the film is ready in high school and "sounds like the perfect packet for teens" but that "the R rating banned many teens from the theaters" and the studio was left with "an R-rated film marketed to whom, exactly?"^[56] Nicole Sperling of Amusement Weekly felt that it was a slow and disappointing weekend for the box office in full general; 3D animated moving picture Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs was steep competition, and with low box office performances by the Matt Damon film The Informant! and Jennifer Aniston film Dearest Happens, she concluded that this may support "the electric current hypothesis floating effectually Hollywood, that movie stars no longer matter" and that it takes more than than a name to open a moving picture.^[57] S.T. VanAirsdale of Movieline echoed Sperling'due south sentiment about the weekend, every bit "some of the stinkiest high-profile openings in recent retentivity".^[58] He concluded five reasons for Jennifer's Body 'due south underperformance at the box office. The starting time, he said, is the distributor. "20th Century Fox'due south genre wing, Fox Atomic, had Jennifer's Body in the can by the time the mother ship shut it downwards last spring", he said. "Instead of offloading the pic to Fob Searchlight, which nimbly maneuvered Diablo Cody'south previous brainchild Juno to awards-season lucre in 2007, a conclusion was somehow reached to fill a gap in Big Play tricks's early fall slate with a gory" and "mail-feminist horror romp starring Megan Play tricks and Amanda Seyfried". VanAirsdale classified this equally a "[b]ig mistake" and that "[y]ou'd have to go dorsum to The Devil Wears Prada to find an instance of a Play a joke on release that worked without a genuine male lead; you'd probably have to go dorsum to Aliens to observe a genre example of such that they pulled off successfully."^[58] He named the second reason as the marketing, stating that the motion picture was non well-marketed (whether by billboards, transit posters, anteroom standees, or other promotional venues), even in New York.^[58]

VanAirsdale cited the release date and screening as the tertiary and fourth reasons; he said at that place was confusion most what day the moving-picture show was going to debut in theaters, and that Toronto is "a nation removed from the audience where the film'south actual momentum had been accruing for at least a month" and that "this rarely works for early on fall releases; not considering news doesn't travel, patently, simply because information technology peels away a layer of accessibility that accompanies New York and L.A. bows."^[58] The final reason, he attributed to the critics, believing that the fusion of horror and teen comedy dislocated some of them. He mentioned Ty Burr'south review in particular, and stated that the moving picture could perhaps have used more than horror and been funnier, but that the film is "ultimately a moving-picture show about two teenage girls' misadventures in victimization" and that "[t]he jokes are near incidental to the friction imposed on women who happen to exist ii sides of the same coin. Who'due south the monster, and who made the monster? Sorry if you wanted Heathers with demons, fellas. Equipment'southward cheap these days; perhaps make your own?"^[58]

Hollywood.com box-part annotator and President Paul Dergarabedian said "the poor numbers don't hateful Fox can't open a motion picture."^[59] "It may be a matter of just choosing the right projects for her", he told Associated Press. "She'south trying to notice a world beyond Transformers, and she will. She's young and has a lot of promise."^[59]

Graphic novel [edit]

As a tie-in to the motion-picture show, Nail! Studios produced a Jennifer's Body graphic novel. The graphic novel expands on the film's universe and Jennifer's murders of the boys. It was written past Black Metal's Rick Spears, with the first ix pages illustrated by Jim Mahfood (Clerks). Two covers, in Trick's likeness, were designed; one for the directly market by Eric Jones (available only in comic specialty stores), and the other by Frank Cho for the mass market focusing more on "hellish Jennifer stories" with art by Mahfood, Hack/Slash'due south Tim Seely, DMZ's Nikki Cook, and Popgun'due south Ming Doyle. The novel was released in Baronial 2009.^{[69] [70] [71]}

The novel features less of Jennifer than the motion-picture show, but does capture her "going in for the kill" several times. Information technology focuses heavily on following her soon-to-be victims and provides data on their personalities not elaborated on in the moving-picture show and so that readers can better conclude whether the boys deserved to be murdered. The novel consists of four chapters, with a prologue and an epilogue, with art provided for each by different artists. Each one follows a dissimilar male child and what is happening in his life just earlier Jennifer kills him.^[71]

On creating the story, Spears stated, "The best part for me as a writer was to evidence some events from the movie from a different point of view, sort of like Rashomon for yous Kurosawa fans. And with comics we can get into the character'southward [sic] heads in a way that works well in comics and novels more so than in film."^[71] He stated, "... I was using the medium to change what nosotros really know about these characters and twist around what we meet in the movies. All the academics bated, it's also very funny and gore splattered."^[71]

Spears stated that while writing the stories, the picture show was nonetheless existence made and he had non seen any of it at the fourth dimension. He mainly learned nigh the characters through the script. "I got to read the screenplay. It was kinda crazy writing characters that were being changed on set and in the editing process. I had to bob and weave to go on up but that was all part of the fun", he said.^[71]
