“Though critical reevaluation and appreciation for Jennifer’s Body has been gaining momentum in the near 10 years since theatrical release, the film is still often referred to as a “guilty pleasure.” There’s nothing wrong with liking Jennifer’s Body; it’s a legitimately great horror comedy with pitch-black humor, clever themes, a loving deconstruction of horror tropes, and brilliant subtext. It’s long past time we embrace it.” - Bloody Disgusting

“Had it been released a decade later, possibly through a streaming service, Cody told Variety that it would have “definitely” found its audience and the themes of queer representation and sexual assault would have been clear.” - Variety

“The idea of a woman’s body being used for men’s gain (even if it’s a prize as lame as indie rock fame), and her coping with this violation by using her sexuality to entrap and feed on those who once objectified her, feels like something to be celebrated, not mocked. Had this film been made a decade later, it’s possible Fox could have been heralded as the feminist revenge hero of our time. In fact, the reason Jennifer becomes a demon in the first place, rather than just dying from the violent stab wounds inflicted on her by emo Seth Cohen and his band while sacrificing her to the devil, is because they wrongly believed her to be a virgin. In complete opposition to tired horror tropes, a woman is, in a way, saved by her sexual experience, rising anew to wreak revenge on those who’ve wronged her.” - Refinery29

“The internet is suddenly full of critics reclaiming the movie and naming it a forgotten feminist classic. Jennifer’s Body is good now. More precisely, Jennifer’s Body was always good, and everyone is just now starting to get on its level.” - Vox

“Now, I think what’s happening is that people are seeing that the movie really did have a distinctly female perspective and that we need those movies, like we find those movies even after the fact, even after they’re dismissed because we need proof that we exist. And that was one of those movies for me. I was like, ‘If I was in high school I would love this movie. I would see this movie 10 times.’ I wanted to make a movie for young women that they can feel themselves being represented in even in a crazy outlandish story. And so I’m glad to know that the movie is getting rediscovered because there’s something pleasantly bonkers about it for me.” - Karyn Kusama, SyfyWire
