Jennifer's Body

Demonic cheerleader film

Jennifer's Body is a 2009 horror comedy film in which a possessed cheerleader preys on her male classmates.

The title plays on the idea of a woman's body as object of desire—here literalized as something monstrous and deadly.

The film has become a cult favorite, often cited in discussions of female rage and misunderstood feminist horror: Jennifer's Body was ahead of its time.
