Inhuman ‘Body’

Megan Fox plays a cheerleader-turned-undead being who eats high school boys in “Jennifer’s Body,” a horror-comedy flick penned by the screenwriter of “Juno,” which explains the laugh-out-loud, self-aware, and snarky witticisms. Fox and Amanda Seyfried play unlikely best buds whose lives are changed forever when an indie band visits their town. Jennifer wreaks havoc shortly, preying on horny guys for sustenance. The movie has a post-“Buffy” aura; its strange, savvy mingling of sex, undeath, and pop culture references cleverly pokes fun at teen angst, fame, and gullible fandom.

“Jennifer’s Body” will be in Metro Manila theaters starting Oct. 28.
