Jennifer‘s Body

 In 2009, movie studios took a gamble on the controversial idea that Megan Fox was attractive - which became their whole marketing strategy for a film that's actually a feminist-inflected horror comedy about a possessed cheerleader. Post #MeToo, the film has finally found an audience, but does it have the teeth of, say, "Teeth" ? Does it have the flavour of "Ginger Snaps" ? Is Megan Fox a "Promising Young Woman" ?

...Alright, we'll stop...
