Jennifer’s Body features Megan Fox in all her HD glory. The recently released Blu-ray features a really nice 1080p transfer and a nice HD Audio soundtrack. The Blu-ray includes both the theatrical and extended cuts on a single disk. The movie takes the concept of mean girls to a whole new or “low” level only the meanness is directed at boys and not really at each other. Writer Diablo Cody’s trademark whit makes this horror comedy a step above today’s current crop of shock and awe horror. I really like Amanda Seyfried in this. Cody and director Kusama bring the fun back. At the same time, I just hate Megan Fox but I’ll grudgingly admit she’s actually ok here. This movie surprised me it felt like a uniquely different take on the horror genre. It starts off well, but turns into camp at the halfway mark.

Comments
I like this Blu-ray, I’m starting to develop a new appreciation for full featured single disk Blu-ray releases. I mean the whole point of Blu-ray used to be the large storage capacity so it’s a little annoying when we have to put with multiple discs. The features are all pretty standard, but I did love the 26 Minute Q and A with Diablo.
