Summary
Jennifer's Body is a 2009 horror-comedy directed by Karyn Kusama, set in an unnamed Minnesota town. The film explores themes of female friendship, jealousy, and power dynamics through its central characters Jennifer Check and Needy Lesnicki, who share little in common despite being best friends. After Jennifer becomes possessed by a demon, the once arrogant cheerleader turns into a bloodthirsty succubus, feeding on her male classmates. The story combines teen scream tropes with horror elements and dark humor, creating a unique blend of genres. While sources provide varying degrees of detail about the plot, they agree on the central premise: Jennifer's possession leads to deadly consequences that Needy must confront.
