SUMMARY:Jennifer's Body
DESCRIPTION:BIHF screen’s Karyn Kusama’s Jennifer’s Body at Movie House Cinemas CitySide as part of the female rage strand within their festival’s programme. \n\n\n\nWhen small-town high-school student Jennifer (Megan Fox) is possessed by a hungry demon\, thanks to a run-in with a Satan-worshipping rock band\, she soon develops a taste for teenage flesh and the only person who can stop her is her nerdy best friend Needy (Mamma Mia’s Amanda Seyfried). \n\n\n\nTerribly miss-marketed to teenage boys when it was released in 2009 Kusama’s feature\, written by Academy Award-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody\, has since been re-evaluated and is now championed by the LGBTQ + community for its representation of bisexuality onscreen within the horror genre. \n\n\n\nCheck out more events within this year’s BIHF programme.
