There are a couple very good video essays on KZfaq that delve into it deeper, but the people who marketed this movie tried to attract teenage boys and young adult males, while EVERYONE who worked on the film knew it should have been aimed at teenage girls and young women. I remember ads for this movie made it seem like it was a trashy frat boy horror movie that mainly focused on "Hey! Look! The hot chick from Transforms is in this movie!" rather than actually focusing on any of the themes from the movie. Amanda Seyfried didn't really even show up in the ads. Sucker Punch is another movie that I feel suffered from marketing advertising to an audience the movie wasn't aimed at.

Underrated movie to me , i think there is some solid commentary and clever campiness in this movie lol

Ah memories. Amanda Seyfried and Johnny Simmons were really professional and down to earth. We were told not to even look in Megan Fox's direction. Supposedly we were looking at her too much. When we pointed out that all of our cues were based on what she did. The AD just gave us a sad shrug. This was day 2 of shooting.

People sure didn't know what to do with this movie when it first came out, thankfully we have become more enlightened over time.

It's kind of interesting that Jennifer herself is a bit of an awful person who just uses Needy as her doormat while still very much being the victim in all of this. I still ended up feeling bad for her at the end when she finally died. Yeah, she ate some dude's, just eviscerated those guys, but damn she didn't asked for any of this. Also, as soon as I saw homeboy with the facial piercings I knew at some point in the movie he was dead, may as well have had a sign hanging around his neck saying "eat me", poor bastard.

This and Teeth are perfect for a double feature. Fun films that get overlooked too often.

I loved your reaction! You funny as hell. I think Jennifer and Needy became connected after Needy sucked her blood when they were kids. It’s also hinted that they used to experiment with one another. I can definitely imagine Jennifer telling Needy it doesn’t count cuz it’s “different plumbing” on some Glee shit. Jennifer becoming a succubus seemed to have made their connection even stronger. I think rhetorical necklaces not only represents that bond, but also Jennifer’s humanity(or what’s left of it). I don’t think Jen feels particularly loved by her morher(“she’s got a date with the guy at the ham store”), and so Needy was the only thing really keeping her anchored. There’s a deleted scene in the locker room that I feel highlights this pretty well. I think her love for Needy was really her only drive for living. And so when Needy finally ends their friendship(pulls off the necklace), all the fight seems to go out of Jen. Also, Chip was a horrible person and my baby Colin deserved to live. I’m pretty sure the entire story is supposed to be a metaphor for SA and maybe hypersexuality as a trauma response? Thinking of it along those lines, it makes sense why Jen never tries to kill Low Shoulder. She’s superhuman and could easily kill them(as seen by Needy), but she’s still too scared and traumatized. If I was Needy I would’ve became like her manager and we would’ve went around killing abusers and r*pists, but that’s just me I guess.🤷🏾‍♀️

I think about this movie every time I see a "low shoulder" sign on the road

Such an iconic movie

You skipped my fav lines in the movie at the pool scene! After Jennifer gets impaled she asks Needy "Do you have a tampon? You look like your plugging" 😂 And Needy saying, "She's just hovering. It's not that impressive." 😈 Saw this in a triple feature at the drive-ins when it came out along with Zombieland and Pandorum. Went with my brother and my sister and my dad. Had a blast. So happy this movie found a new following the last few years. It's so fun and I really enjoy Diablo Cody's dialogue.

Adam Brody is in a few horror favorites: this, Scream 4, and I really recommend reacting to Ready Or Not (2019), if you haven't seen it yet!~ Hopefully, without saying too much and spoiling things, Ready or Not really fits the bill of what you were looking for when you were talking about this and Tucker & Dale^.^

Marketing failed this film, so it didn't find the proper audience when it came out. That's why it's now a cult classic because the people who actually enjoy this film have found it more and more over time. I found this film because Panic! At The Disco created the song New Perspective which plays during the ending credits lol My Panic! At The Disco-loving self was so freaking excited to watch the movie, they created a music video for it as well.

Makes me wonder what other bands have done to get famous.

I love your movie/anime reactions

i like ur views :) subscribed !

The fact that you opened this video by saying it was a horror-comedy makes me think this will be a very entertaining reaction. 🤣 If I'm remembering this right, when this movie came out it did very poorly at the box office. It was marketed as a sort of "Scary Movie-esque" comedy, and people were disappointed when it wasn't that.

Hi Abi

13:38 Dayum Jennifer what that mouth do?

You were oddly angry that the virgin boy was sexually inexperienced lol
