Screenwriter: Diablo Cody

Producers: Daniel Dubiecki, Mason Novick, Jason Reitman

Back in 2009, the studio thought it was getting just another high school horror flick, but instead director Karyn Kusama and screenwriter Diablo Cody delivered a wickedly sharp takedown of misogyny and how young women must fight for justice in a world that is aimed against them. Sometimes that’s by being a supportive friend; sometimes it’s by being possessed by a man-eating demon. Megan Fox gives an amazing performance — equal parts frightful and funny — as the teen-aged succubus, and her scenes with best friend Amanda Seyfriend are iconic, cementing Jennifer’s Body reputation as the feminist queer classic it always was.
