The REAL Horror of Jennifer's Body

Video Description

A video essay (with spoilers) about the dark deeper meaning of 'Jennifer's Body' (2009), the horror comedy movie directed by Karyn Kusama and written by Diablo Cody and starring Megan Fox, Amanda Seyfried, Johnny Simmons, J. K. Simmons, Chris Pratt, Adam Brody and more. In this video I get into its deeper themes and symbolism, covering storytelling ideas about deals with the Devil, Lilith (the original succubus?), the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and more.
