It seems Karyn Kusama’s Jennifer’s Body was indeed ahead of its time, as the critical reappraisal of the 2009 movie has now led all the way to a Criterion spotlight here in 2021!
The Megan Fox-starring Jennifer’s Body will be making its way onto The Criterion Channel streaming service on October 6, and that’s just the beginning of the Halloween offerings.
Criterion teases, “This October, look back to the origins of the Hollywood horror movie at the studio where some of cinema’s most legendary monsters were born. Or test your stamina against the white-knuckle shocks of film history’s most chilling home-invasion thrillers.”

The 20-film Home Invasion lineup features: Blind Alley (1939), The Desperate Hours (1955), Private Property (1960), Viridiana (1961), Cape Fear (1962) , Cul-de-sac (1966), Violence at Noon (1966), In Cold Blood (1967), Night of the Living Dead (1968), The Anderson Tapes (1971), The Visitors (1972), Black Christmas (1974), Demon Seed (1977), The Plumber (1979), Angst (1983), To Sleep with Anger (1990), Bad Influence (1990), Funny Games (1997), Them (2006), Inside (2007).
