I really liked this a lot, and saw it in theaters when it came out. I liked how it was a pretty good horror comedy that mostly focused on female friendship, had a standout performance by Megan Fox who just dug right into the biting humor of the role, and had some truly horrifying sad scenes in it, like of Jennifer getting murdered by an indie rock band for a sacrifice to the devil, or when a more likable sweet character got killed. I thought it was smart and funny, and felt like it got a bad rap at the time because of Fox being seen as a bad actor combined with trailers only playing up her sexiness and nothing else.
Amanda Seyfried was also really solid as the “nerdy” (I use that in quotes because she basically looks more like Hollywood’s version of a girl nerd than like everyday ones) best friend who has an unhealthy co-dependent relationship with Jennifer.
I haven’t seen this since it came out, but I just really enjoyed it, and I’m glad it’s getting more appreciation now than it did back then.
