Coming Soon: Jennifer’s Body and 1997?
2009 | Movies, Reviews
Okay, I admit it, I’m a little biased. Not only am I already a big fan of Megan Fox (which would have led me to see Jennifer’s Body anyway), but I grew up in the 90s and when I think of American horror films, I don’t think of Saw and Drag Me To Hell. I think of the films that were popular when I was in my teenage years.
I think of films they just don’t make anymore. Films like the Scream franchise, Foxfire (yes, it is a horror film, albeit a porny one, lol) and, my personal favorite, The Craft. Yeah, Faith constantly waxes nostalgic, so when I saw the very Wick-esque Red Band trailer to Jennifer’s Body (you can view it here), and it’s awesome, moody-buzz-alterna-rock soundtrack (including the fabulous 80s punkette nu wave band The Waitresses) with the killer visuals, Nancy Downs Meets Cordelia Chase bad girl and dry but brutal wit I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.
This film relies heavily on Megan Fox being crazy hot, but Jennifer’s Body is NOT torture porn! Has Diablo Cody (Juno) taken Amanda Seyfried (Mean Girls) and current “It Girl” Megan Fox (Transformers) and started the long journey away from awful or ripped off horror films?
Are the 90s getting a revival? Look at the newest of the new fashion trends – thigh and knee highs, high heeled mary janes, grunge, techno skater – have all made come backs. Alterna-rock is also seeing a revival, as well as baby jewelry/barettes, french twists, butterflies/dragonflies, cold gem toned nail polish and make up, etc. Are we headed back to the days when Angelina Jolie was a foul mouthed hacker, Sarah Michelle Gellar was a super hero and Rob Thomas wanted nothing more than to push us around? God, I hope so. Break out the Surge and the Fetish by Dana. Viva la 90s!
