What history between Jake and Leighton? Google has absolutely nothing on the two of them, don't think they've ever dated?
Pretty insane for you to call this 1950's maid's boss her "master" lol ...
Hipsters haven't existed since 2015, you sound old as hell
That's how they weed out boring idiots, guess it worked
Yeah because she ends the movie staying a slut and not settling down right? You all have the cognitive skills of children
Not sure why you think you're supposed to feel sorry for her. She was mean and bitchy before she was possessed, she was mean and bitchy after she was possessed. The only time she is empathetic is when she thinks she's about to be assaulted and is then sacrificed. I imagine we're supposed to think being possessed has made her even less empathetic than she may have been before. She laughs and jokes about the people who died in the fire, she doesn't care about who she kills or their families.
She's meeting the consequences of being a teen girl who thinks she understands the world and can handle themselves around older men who obviously want to prey on her. This whole movie is pretty metaphorical for growing up, sexual assault, and female friendships, so I suppose any empathy you're supposed to feel can be found there.
I think there's a couple layers. Her body is a vessel for a demon. Her body is objectified by men. Her body is her own pride and tool for seducing men before and after she is possessed. (Her appearance in general is basically the only beautiful or desirable thing about her since she has a bitchy personality.) And the word "body" just calls to mind something both horror themed and sexual.
Honestly, there could have been a better title, maybe one more punny and clever that references being a teenager, demons, succubi, etc. But if a movie wants to have a weird, unclear title, that's fine with me. These days so many movies and titles are dictated by SEO rather than creativity, it'd be nice to see something odd more often.
I know this is an old thread but it makes me laugh how inaccurate this is. Her hair is not blown out at any point and barely styled at all throughout this movie. Midway through the movie it's in a very messy, dirty looking ponytail and she's wearing no makeup when Alan tells her to get a lawyer. She doesn't wear makeup for the rest of the movie. Even on the film poster her hair is in a messy ponytail and she looks tired and haggard.
I 100% thought they were shaved until I looked up production and promotional stills of her for this movie lol.
They JUST missed the era of bleached hair and brown/dark eyebrows being acceptable in these kinds of productions, like Daenerys.
