Film Information

This screening will be introduced by film writer Zoë Rose Bryant who will be talking about the film's initial negative reception from misguided marketing & the eventual reclamation by women & the LGBTQIA+ community, catapulting it into cult status.

Penned by Juno scribe Diablo Cody and directed by Karyn Kusama (The Invitation), Jennifer’s Body is the shocking flip side to Cody’s slacker teen romance. Pin on your blood-soaked corsage and prepare to be seduced… and consumed.

High school cheerleader Jennifer (Megan Fox) becomes possessed by a sinister demon with an insatiable hunger for the flesh of her male admirers. Discovering her best friend’s diabolical transformation, Needy (Amanda Seyfried) sets out to rescue the town and save the prom from becoming a demon’s bloody buffet.
