Our take
Jennifer's Body follows a teen who begins killing boys after a satanic ritual goes wrong. Seduction, bloody attacks, assault references, and strong swearing sit beneath the horror comedy. The guide also flags fire and grief. We put it at around 17 and up for the sexualised violence and gore.

Story (may spoil tone)
Jennifer, a gorgeous, seductive cheerleader takes evil to a whole new level after she's possessed by a sinister demon. Now it's up to her best friend to stop Jennifer's reign of terror before it's too late.
