Jennifer’s Body

Casts : Adam Brody, Amanda Seyfried, Megan Fox

In Devil’s Kettle, Minnesota, the story focuses on two girls who are best friends. One of them is Anita “Needy” Lesnicky (Amanda Seyfried), a nerdy, substantially less popular, “plain jane” student. The other focus is on Jennifer Check (Megan Fox), a beautiful black-haired girl who is on the school’s flag team.

One evening, Jennifer has Needy accompany her to a local bar, where an Indie Rock Band named Low Shoulder is playing. During the performance, the bar catches on fire, and Needy and Jennifer just barely escape from being killed in the fire. Upon escaping, they are accosted by the band who seem to have made it out okay. However, Needy watches as the band members lead Jennifer to their van, before driving away, with Needy watching as the remains of the bar collapses to the ground in a fiery inferno.

Needy eventually makes it home, where she calls her boyfriend Chip (Johnny Simmons), and explains about the disaster. However, she soon encounters Jennifer in her home: clothing torn, and bleeding. Things get even stranger, as Needy watches Jennifer tear into a raw chicken in her fridge and give an otherwordly roar at her, before spewing up a black substance.

The next day, the tragedy of the bar fire has captured the town, with many in the local high school feeling the tragedy. Key among them is the high school football captain, whom Jennifer leads into the nearby woods after school. Later on in the day, a teacher at the school finds the captain’s remains, and the town is rocked by the additional tragedy.

A month passes by, Jennifer begins to look a little pale. As Needy watches, Jennifer catches the eye of Colin Gray (Kyle Gallner), and asks him to meet her at her house.

The next evening, Needy spins time with her boyfriend Chip, while Colin goes to meet Jennifer…only to find her at a still-in-construction house. It is here that Jennifer kills and ‘eats’ Colin, as Needy has a shocking vision that causes her to panic as Chip makes love to her.

Needy leaves her boyfriend’s place, and drives away, only to encounter Jennifer walking like an animal across the road, before jumping onto her car’s windshield. Needy returns home, only to find Jennifer sleeping in her bed. Jennifer then kisses Needy, which turns into a hot make-out session, which causes Needy to snap. Needy orders Jennifer to leave, but Jennifer instead confesses what happened to her on the night the local bar burned down.

The band Low Shoulder drover her out into a forested area, in hopes to offer her as a Satanic sacrifice, in exchange for fame and fortune. During the band’s discussions, several wondered if Jennifer really was a virgin, and she said she was (in hopes that they would let her go). Using some instructions they downloaded off the internet, they spoke an incantation, before stabbing her with a knife, which was then thrown into a whirlpool off the nearby Devil’s Kettle Falls.

However, Jennifer wandered away from the site after they had left, and that led her to Needy’s place that night. Jennifer also confides to Needy, that when she is fully replenished, she is indestructible. She demonstrates this by stabbing herself in the arm, and Needy watches as the flesh immediately heals.

Now more worried than ever, Needy goes to the occult section of their school’s library, and begins to do research. Needy soon finds where the band went wrong. Because Jennifer was not a virgin, their sacrifice turned her into a succubus, causing her to feed on young men in order to keep her strength. Needy grows upset because of the upcoming Spring Formal, and how it seems that Jennifer could very well turn the dance into a blood bath. She informs her boyfriend Chip about this, but he is unsure about her theory.

Eventually, the Spring Formal comes about, and Needy goes there to meet Chip. Also in attendance is the band Low Shoulder, who have gained great fame and notoriety since that fateful night several months prior. As they take the stage, and Needy does not see Chip anywhere, she bolts from the auditorium. Also, during this time, we see Jennifer ambush Chip in the woods, telling him that Needy was having sex with Colin, and that was why she was so upset with his death. Jennifer and Chip start kissing, and they walk a little wats to an abandoned swimming pool.

Needy finds Chip in the water, where Jennifer has already bitten into him. Eventually, Jennifer and Needy argue, and Chip, with his last energy, stabs Jennifer through the stomach with a pool net’s handle before she escapes through a nearby window. Needy watches as Chip dies in her arms.

Later that evening, Needy, hellbent on revenge, breaks into Jennifer’s room, where she and her former Best Friend scuffle. In their fight, Needy removes the “Best Friends Forever” locket from her former friend’s neck, and stabs Jennifer with a boxcutter, killing her in the process. However, the noise is heard by Jennifer’s mother (Carrie Genzel), who finds Needy crouched over her daughter with the bloody boxcutter.

Following this, Needy is taken to a mental institution. However, the scuffle with Jennifer resulted in her getting scratched. Supposedly, being butten by Jennifer also caused some of her powers to be transferred to Needy.

After a scuffle with a mental institution doctor, Needy is isolated, but manages to levitate to an overhead window, and kick it out, before breaking through a nearby chainlink fence.

As she wanders down a roadway, she finds a watery runoff (which is where the nearby Devil Falls empty outs into ), with the knife that was used on Jennifer. Flagging down a passing vehicle, she tells the driver that she’s following a band, and that their last performance will soon occur.

As the credits roll, we are treated to amateur video of the band Low Shoulder, checking into a hotel, and candidly doing things in their hotel room. Eventually, the scene is shown in cutaways, of the band being savagely murdered, with the last image showing security camera footage of Needy walking down the corridor, away from the band’s room as she walks through a number of female band groupies.
