Jennifer's Body

Anita "Needy" Lesnicki, once an insecure and studious teenager living in the small town of Devil's Kettle, Minnesota, has become a violent asylum inmate who narrates the story as a flashback while in solitary confinement. Since childhood, Needy has been best friends with Jennifer Check, a popular and beautiful high school color guard flag spinner, despite the two having little in common. Jennifer often mistreats and dominates Needy, who is too in awe of her to stand up for herself. One night, Jennifer takes Needy to a local dive bar to attend a concert by the indie rock band Low Shoulder. A fire engulfs the bar, killing several people. Jennifer, in shock from the fire, leaves with the band even though Needy tells her not to. Later that evening, she appears in Needy's kitchen, covered in blood, and attempts to eat a rotisserie chicken. She immediately vomits a trail of black fluid and almost bites Needy's neck but retreats and leaves. The next morning at school, Jennifer appears fine and dismisses Needy's concerns, appearing apathetic to the fire tragedy. She seduces Jonas, the school's football captain and lures him into the woods, where she disembowels and cannibalizes him. Meanwhile, Low Shoulder gains popularity due to their falsely rumored heroism during the fire and earns a cult following status. A month later, Jennifer becomes ill and listless. She accepts a date with school alternative/emo Colin, whom she invites to an abandoned house; once there, she brutally kills and devours him. While Needy and her boyfriend Chip have sex, Needy senses something dreadful has happened and has a disturbing vision of a demonic Jennifer. She flees back home, but on the way, she runs into a blood-soaked Jennifer on the road. After returning home unhurt, Needy finds a revitalized and amorous Jennifer in her bed. Jennifer attempts to seduce Needy by kissing her; Needy initially reciprocates but then comes to her senses. Jennifer reveals that Low Shoulder had taken her into the woods after the bar fire and offered her as a virgin ultimate sacrifice to Satan in exchange for fame and fortune. Although the sacrifice was a success, Jennifer was not actually a virgin, so she became permanently possessed. She became hungry, and Ahmet, a foreign exchange student who was thought to have died in the fire, was her first victim. She had intended to eat Needy first but left because she could not bring herself to hurt her best friend. Whenever she eats a victim, she can withstand any injury without pain and heal instantly. Needy goes to the school library's occult section and determines that Jennifer is a succubus who must feed on flesh and can only be killed while she is hungry and weak. Needy tells Chip about Jennifer. He refuses to believe her, so she breaks up with him in order to protect him. Jennifer intercepts Chip on the way to the school dance and claims that Needy had been cheating on him with Colin. She tries to seduce him, but he is not interested. She takes him to an abandoned pool and begins feeding on him. Needy arrives, and as the two girls argue, Chip impales Jennifer through the stomach with a pool skimmer. However, Jennifer, having eaten enough to survive the injury, removes the pool skimmer and escapes while Chip dies. Angry and heartbroken, Needy breaks into Jennifer's bedroom. The two fight, and Jennifer bites Needy's shoulder in the struggle. When Needy rips Jennifer's best friend necklace off her neck, Jennifer stops fighting back. Needy then stabs her in the heart with a utility knife, killing her and destroying the demon. Jennifer's mother enters and finds Needy on top of her daughter's body, resulting in Needy's imprisonment. After manifesting some of Jennifer's supernatural powers from the bite, Needy eventually escapes the mental facility, tracks down Low Shoulder, and murders them.
