To everyone’s surprise, the film ‘Jennifer’s Body’ was a disappointment. It was projected to earn nearly $7 million over the weekend, which is a lower number by the box office standards in Hollywood. It was obvious that the bisexual demon played by the not Megan Fox was just not enough to draw in moviegoers.

Before the opening of the film, everyone from age 13 to 80 was intrigued with the pictures, trailers and posters that have promoted the Megan Fox film. Despite the many months of previous excitement and advertising to the release, this new horror film starring both Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried was considered a flop Friday night. The one-day total of the film was trifling when compared to Friday’s winner ‘Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs’ which racked in $8.1 million.

‘Jennifer’s Body’ is a very original film in that it is a slasher flick, woman’s film, comedy and drama all in one. The film is about Jennifer, a popular girl in high school, who transforms into a boy-eating demon while facing an occult-following indie band that is lead by Adam Brody. There are various moments in the film that cannot be explained. It is difficult to get into the world that the film is presenting. The factor of believability is low along with the vague explanations of the supernatural.
