In \u003ci\u003eExtra Salty\u003c\/i\u003e, Frederick Blichert flips the script on how \u003ci\u003eJennifer's Body\u003c\/i\u003e was labeled a failure to celebrate all that is scrumptious (as Jennifer would say) about it: supernatural horror, dark comedy, queer love, and a nuanced handling of gendered violence. The movie could have been to the aughts what \u003ci\u003eHeathers\u003c\/i\u003e was to the eighties, and it's finally getting its due -- whether in the flood of tenth-anniversary praise, the parade of Jennifer Halloween costumes, or Halsey's nod to it (\"Killing Boys\") on her platinum-selling album.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith insight into the genre's cinematic tropes, our current cultural reckoning with misogyny, and an original interview with director Karyn Kusama, \u003ci\u003eExtra Salty\u003c\/i\u003e solidifies the status of \u003ci\u003eJennifer's Body\u003c\/i\u003e as a cult classic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrederick Blichert\u003c\/b\u003e is a communications specialist and freelance entertainment writer.
