Megan Fox has been in front of the camera since the early 2000s. She has been world-famous since the action-packed sci-fi blockbuster Transformers, which hit the cinemas in 2007. Two years later, she delivered hers best role to date in the fantasy horror comedy Jennifer’s Body – boys to their liking.
Directed by Karyn Kusama (Æon Flux, Destroyer), the film was not well received at the time: bad reviews, poor box office and a disappointed audience. Actually worth a second look in Jennifer’s Body, for here lies a clever reflection on image, body images and genre tropes.
