Watch Jennifer's Body

By Sukie Chao

There seems to be a lot of interest from people about watching the film, Jennifer's Body, online. With things like bloodshed, dark comedy, cheerleaders, horror, and of course, a rock band, this movie seems to have it all. The movie, Jennifer's Body, was produced by Jason Reitman and Dan Dubiecki. Diablo Cody wrote the screenplay. It is directed by Karyn Kusama, of "Girlfight" fame. A 1994 song, with the same title, was done by a band called Hole, which is somewhat gruesome in itself. The plot revolves around a geeky girl in high school named Anita (Amanda Seyfried). Her best friend is the exceptionally beautiful Jennifer (Megan Fox).

At the beginning of the film, Jennifer is your typical cheerleader, popular with both the boys and girls at the high school, for obvious reasons. As the film progresses, a Satanic ritual is enacted by the character Nikolai (Adam Brody) and his rock band, wherein a sacrifice needs to be made in trade for a recording contract. Something goes horribly wrong and Jennifer is possessed by a demon who sends her off on a killing rampage to devour the souls of her male school pals. The M.O. is as a succubus - calling the various boys in close, then proceeding to consume them sexually at first, then physically until they are dead.

Eventually, Anita tried to stop Jennifer's rampage through the school and save the male students.

If you watch Jennifer's Body online, you'll get to see , Amanda Seyfried as Anita Lesnicky, Adam Brody as Nickolai Wolf, Chris Pratt as Officer Roman Duda, Megan Fox as Jennifer Check, Kyle Gallner as Colin Gray, Keegan Sigurnjak as a Meek School Nerd, Amy Sedaris as Toni Lesnicky, Carrie Genzel as Mrs. Check, Cynthia Stevenson as Mrs. Dove, Johnny Simmons as Chip Dove, Juan Riedinger as Dirk, Juno Ruddell as Officer Warzak, J.K. Simmons as Mr. Wroblewski, and Aman Johal as Ahmet. Cynthia Stevenson (Mrs. Dove),Carrie Genzel (Mrs. Check), Juan Reidinger (Dirk), Chris Pratt (Officer Roman Duda), Juno Ruddell (Officer Warzak), Keegan Sigurnjak (Meek School Nerd), and Aman Johal as Ahmet from India for this comic romp through the complexities of Satan and high school.

The WGA strike was responsible for pushing the beginning of filming for this movie from early 2007 until March of 2008. Jennifer's Body was filmed in Burnaby, in British Columbia. There are a number of scenes that were filmed near Cariboo Hill Secondary School, at Robert Burnaby Park. Certain scenes were also shot at other local Vancouver schools.
