Megan Fox shows us "Jennifer's Body" in the horror flick's first trailer

Dorothy Snarker

Finally, Megan Fox has something to do other than run from robots and give inane interviews. The first trailer for Fox’s new high school horror flick, Jennifer’s Body, was released to ShockTillYouDrop.com today.

In the film, Fox plays a high school cheerleader possessed by a flesh-eating demon and then goes on a feeding frenzy among her classmates. The red band (i.e. naughty words and all) trailer was released online before the general, green trailer debuts theatrically this weekend in front of the film Bruno. Check it out (but, remember, it’s red for a reason).

Director Karyn Kusama, writer Diablo Cody and producer Jason Reitman explained the advance leak on ShockTillYouDrop.com:

Fox is putting a trailer of Jennifer's Body in front of Bruno this Friday. Great, right? Only problem is it's not our trailer. It's kind of a straight horror preview and while we're sure it'll appeal to many of you, we wanted to make sure you guys got to see our cut ... Let’ call it the "filmmaker's cut." We think it captures the comedy and scares of the horror films we grew up on — a kind of nostalgia for when horror films were fun. Can't wait to show you the whole film ... In the meantime, here's the red band trailer we wanted our fans to see.

Hmm, interesting. Now this could mean the filmmakers are genuinely at odds with the studio about how to market the film. Or this could be a savvy technique for drumming up online interest in a genre film. Either way, the trailer looks promising.

In the film, hottie cheerleader Jennifer is possessed by a boy-eating demon after seeing a Satan-worshipping rock band. (See, kids, Tipper Gore was right!) When Jennifer starts devouring the male student body, her bespectacled best friend Needy (yes, Needy, played Amanda Seyfried) tries to exorcise her demons.

The trailer manages to pack in scares, skin, laughs and a little bisexual baiting. We see some split-second very special sleepover moments between Fox and Seyfried.

And then there’s this exchange:

Needy: I thought you only murdered boys.

Jennifer: I go both ways.

The quippy writing by Oscar-winning Juno screenwriter Cody shines through. And Fox sure makes evil look good. Plus, any trailer that uses both The Runaways and The Waitresses can’t be all bad, right?

So, what do you think? Are you going to check out Jennifer’s Body come Sept. 18?

I so didn't want to like the trailer to this movie because Megan Fox is in it. But it looks like it might actually be worth watching. Thirst for good dialogue: 1. Preconcieved notions of dippy starlet: 0

but really, there's no good reason NOT to see this (hot girls, good tunes, an excess of corn syrup, adam brody?!!?). plus, amanda in those specs reminds me of jenny shechter in her adorable director's glasses. totally seeing this campfest... now if only diablo would take over that lesbian werewolf flick ellen page and olivia thirby were once attached to...

Megan Fox? Who's she? Just kidding! This is actually going to be the first movie that I've seen her in. She looks like she does a great job.

I got butterflies and kind of peed my pants when I saw the trailer. So excited!

I CAN wait, I am not eager for an excessively wordy feature by Ms. Cody. First the overrated Juno that was embarrassingly hyped on the site, then the United States of Tara. Good Grief. I mean it would have been nice if our expectations weren't always so over inflated by the relentless cheerleading on this site but instead given a realistic review.

Not to worry about seeing this movie because there are countless online movie sites that will invariably be showing this movie as there is opened bottomed resource of pubescent young males eager to upload this film to the net.

Technology will be the demise of civilization as we know it.
