Jennifer's Body

Demonic Megan Fox gets her teeth into the boys at school in sexy horror spoof Jennifer's Body out on 4 November

Megan Fox bares her teeth in Jennifer's Body

We all know the type - the sexiest girl in school who befriends a speccy four-eyes nerd just so she'll look even hotter.

But in Jennifer's Body the high school fox is a lot more ruthless than that.

Already used to being the lust-object of every boy in school, Jennifer (Megan Fox, Transformers), quite literally becomes a maneater after a Satanic ritual.

It's up to her boring friend, the aptly-named Needy (Amanda Seyfried, Mamma Mia!), to stop Jennifer before she swallows whole every guy in the town of Devil's Kettle in Dullsville, USA.

Jennifer's your typical pretty girl from a provincial town who acts way more sophisticated than she really is.

Not that she's totally innocent, which is how she becomes possessed by the Devil, after hooking up with a cool indie singer Nikolai (Adam Brody, The O.C.) who comes to town.

Nikolai wants to be a rock star with money, sex and drugs on tap.

Bored with gigging in small-town bars, Nikolai decides to take a short cut to success by sacrificing a virgin to the Devil.

Only thing is, Jennifer's no virgin, and the Devil's revenge for getting a bad girl is to make her even badder. 

This is a chick flick with a difference - a horror film where the villain and the hero are both kick-ass girls.

Traditional horror fans, meaning teenage boys, probably won't get its mixture of gore, sly laughs and girls who don't need a man to help them.

But anyone who's ever been the dull friend of the most popular girl in school will love seeing Needy get her own back.

Jennifer's Body, out on 4 November
