As the Disney Plus streaming service continues to grow, so does the variety of titles that can be found on the platform’s library. In addition to Disney’s own vast wealth of content, they also have the old 20th Century Fox library, and a number of licensed titles. Interestingly, however, it’s a fan-favorite R-rated horror movie from their Fox catalogue that’s currently dominating Disney Plus.
As of this writing, that the R-rated horror movie has actually reached the #5 spot on the Disney Plus charts. It’s an impressive feat for a film that was first released in 2009. Nevertheless, it goes to show that this horror comedy still has more than enough pull to appeal to a wide audience to this day.
Of course, that also might be due to the film’s cast. In fact, the movie has one major celebrity as its star – which has certainly helped cement its place both in the mainstream and with fans of cult classic hits. Now with the availability of the film on Disney Plus W/ Hulu, it makes perfect sense that this particular title is reaching new heights.
The film, titled Jennifer’s Body, stars Megan Fox as the titular Jennifer. She acquires demonic powers after a sacrifice, and as a result, she begins to kill her male classmates in an effort to survive. As Jennifer begins consuming their flesh, her best friend must work to stop her.
It’s a great premise that’s been roughly used in many other horror pictures. However, the visuals from director Karyn Kusama and witty dialogue from writer Diablo Cody has given this movie a certain edge that’s made it a feminist cult classic for many modern viewers. Again, it’s no surprise to see it doing so well on Disney Plus as a result.
