Rated 1.9 out of 5: 15 years later, will this Megan Fox movie get a sequel?

In 2009, Megan Fox played Jennifer in Karine Kusama’s horror film Jennifer’s Body.

The actress plays a high school girl whom no boy can resist. But the latter is actually possessed by a terrible demon. A man-eater, he gradually transforms into a pale, sickly and murderous creature. Ned, his intelligent childhood friend, will desperately try to protect the young people of the town, starting with his friend’s chip… Megan Fox – then famous in the Transformers saga – gave the answer (and a passionate kiss) as Amanda Seyfried , as well as Adam Broad and Johnny Simmons.

Written by screenwriter Diablo Cody, who recently won an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for Jason Reitman’s Juno, Jennifer’s Body doesn’t quite live up to expectations. With a budget of $16 million, the sex-horror film grossed just $31 million at the international box office, drawing 320,961 viewers in French theaters.

With a 2.7 out of 5 stars from the press and 1.9 stars from AlloCiné viewers, the feature film still managed to gain some recognition among audiences. So much so that a sequel is currently being considered.
