Surprisingly, and a little sadly, this awful flick about a flesh-eating, projectile-vomiting, demonically possessed teen queen was scripted by Oscar-winning Juno screenwriter Diablo Cody. But I don’t think even Ellen Page could have saved this amateurish shot at comedy/horror. The Body of the title belongs to Megan Fox (both Transformers), who attempts to add (literal) “man-eater” credentials to her one-item (bod) list of talents. Fails. The heroine is BFF Amanda Seyfried, who can act and just makes Megan look worse. Pick better scripts, Amanda. Not scary, not sexy, not smart. Oh, well. It’s not called Jennifer’s Brains, is it?
