10 Brilliant Films That Are Easy Targets For Haters

Horror films are rarely embraced by mainstream critics - teen films also suffer the same fate. So what chance does a teen horror film have then? Add in a script written by too-cool-for-school Diablo Cody and you have a film with a perpetual target on its back.

However, for all its flaws, lapses in good judgment and good taste, Jennifer’s Body is a movie that gets it. Playing with the notion of the hot chick as a man-eater, and reminding millions of teenage girls of the sexual power they may not even realize they have. It’s a feminist statement wrapped in gory violence and gratuitous glamour shots of Megan Fox.

The successful horror comedy is a rare and elusive find. Not only does it need to be both scary and funny, but it has to blend the two together in almost perfect symmetry. Some of the best films that strike an ideal balance between terror and laughs include An American Werewolf In London, Return Of The Living Dead, Re-Animator, and Fright Night. You can add Jennifer’s Body to this list.
