Jennifer’s Body
The Karyn Kusama-directed, Diablo Cody-scripted Jennifer’s Body is a whip-smart, pitch-black, and blood-drenched feminist horror comedy that’s ripe for reevaluation. Megan Fox stars as the titular teen queen cheerleader. But when she becomes possessed by an insatiable demon, she goes from high school evil to a real deal succubus, and the boys she previously wouldn’t have given the time of day are suddenly looking like a tasty little snack. Now her mousy best friend (Amanda Seyfried) will have to step out of her shadow, if anyone is going to make it out alive.
“Kusama and Cody’s collaboration is a wicked black comedy with unexpected emotional resonance, one of the most purely pleasurable movies of the year so far.” – Dana Stevens, Slate
“There is within Diablo Cody the soul of an artist, and her screenplay brings to this material a certain edge, a kind of gleeful relish, that’s uncompromising. This isn’t your assembly-line teen horror thriller.” – Roger Ebert

Drag Me to Hell
Christine Brown (Alison Lohman) is on her way to having it all: a devoted boyfriend (Justin Long), a hard-earned job promotion, and a bright future. But when she’s forced to make a tough decision that evicts an elderly woman from her house, Christine becomes the victim of an evil curse. Now she has only three days to dissuade a dark spirit from stealing her soul before she is dragged to hell for an eternity of unthinkable torment. Director Sam Raimi (Spider-Man and The Evil Dead trilogy) returns to the horror genre with a vengeance in the film that critics rave is “the most crazy, fun and terrifying horror movie in years!” (Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly) (Universal)
