morrison-dylan-fan Talking to a DVD seller about Dario Argento titles that we have seen,I mentioned that I had not seen his 2 Masters of horror eps,due to them not coming out on DVD in the UK. Happily catching me by surprise just before the October Horror Challenge kicked off on IMDb's Horror board,the seller sent me a box set of Masters of Horror as a free gift,which included the first Argento ep!,which led to me getting ready to meet Jenifer.The plot:Sitting in a car with his partner,cop Frank Spivey spots a women about to get killed.Killing the guy,Spivey finds out from his last breath that her name is Jenifer. Lifting her up,Spivey discovers that Jenifer has a disfigured face.Unable to withstand the siren call from her,Spivey decides to invite Jenifer into the family home,which leads to Jenifer eating up everything that Spivey offers her.View on the film:Following some of the original drawings in the comic book,directing auteur Dario Argento and cinematographer Attila Szalay do well at chewing on some of Argento's more wackier themes,engraved in the deformed appearance of Jenifer continuing a theme Argento has returned to since Phenomena of the main monster(s) having a deformity that the lead overlooks. Capturing Jenifer and Spivey in a savage lust,Argento uses Jenifer's disfigurements to give the erotic atmosphere an unsettling macabre edge,with the sex scenes having a wild wolves like howl,backed by Claudio Simonetti's creepy,child humming score.Making his writing debut after coming up with the idea of bringing a Bruce Jones comic to the screen,the screenplay by lead actor/writer Steven Weber laps up the cannibal horror,set off when Jenifer comes into contact with any juicy flesh (which allows Argento to joyfully go bonkers and have Jenifer chew up a cat!) Whilst taking every bite out of the gory delights on offer,Weber disappointingly fails to get under the skin of Jenifer or Spivey and makes their lust/blood lust keep the couple as wafer characters,as Spivey finds out the Jenifer is Jenny from the cannibal block.

bmw_lele To start of with, this is perhaps the only movie that I truly hate with ULTRAHARD passion. I shall restrain myself from spoiling too much in this review but to some extent it is necessary to explain what an awful "movie" this is.The movie stars of where this cop Frank is taking a leak in the woods and by chance stumbles across a man who is just about to kill this supposed innocent woman (her face is not shown). Frank shoots the man to death and saves the girl only to discover her true form, which is the disfigured face of hers. She starts to seduce Frank and they have sex...The main character Frank is one of the most stupid characters in cinema history without a doubt; He first takes Jenifer to the police-station but nobody wants to take care of her so he decides to let her live with him and his family. He will later be given the choice between family and Jenifer (who at this point has done LOTS of sick things already) and yea, this movie is VERY predictable so of course he chooses Jenifer who still continues with her animal/swine-like behavior until it reaches a certain point (where I had already lost my mind thanks to the amount of stupidness this film contains) and the cop finally decides to take care of her just like the guy in the beginning tried to do, he goes out in the woods with Jenifer on a leash just like the swine she is and it's not that hard to guess what is going to happen (like I said almost everything in this movie is 100% predictable).Apart from the predictable story; the acting is also bad, the music is bad and the cinematography is also really bad. Terrible terrible movie *shrugs*If you want to feel what it's like to truly hate a movie, I recommend this one. Chances are high you are going to feel like me after-wards; Gutted and REALLY ANGRY.However if you only want to see a good movie/horror-flick; best thing to do is to ignore this movies existence.1/10

ctomvelu1 I have had trouble watching this one all the way through, but somehow over the years I have finally managed to see the thing in its entirety. A truly sick and disturbing outing by Argento, about an incredibly sexy mute woman (the best kind, for most guys) with a killer face, and I do mean "killer." She just can't stop eating people. A cop befriends her and eventually holes up with her in a remote cabin, leaving behind his family. Nothing he does can stop her from eating people, however. The actress who played this bizarre creature is both highly erotic and scary, which I suspect is how Argento has always viewed women, based on his canon. She is simply amazing. Stephen Weber of WINGS fame plays the obsessed cop. A must-see for fans of ghoul flicks. All others, beware.

ramyawad24 I just finished watching "Jenifer" and let me the first to say that this movie had me on the edge of my seat. This movie is about a cop who saves a deformed girl from a deranged man who tried to kill her with a meat cleaver .. as the movie goes on he becomes obsessed with Jenifer.. He protects her but what he didn't know will come back to haunt him. I didn't know that such a deformed person could be so sexy.I've seen some sick movies, but this is by far the sickest movie I have ever seen. I know this will sound weird but I was so freaked out I wanted the movie to end. If you are a fan of horror you should definitely go out and get this movie.
