The Vomit shot out of Megan Fox like water from a geyser. A ghastly movie concoction that looked like a mix of used motor oil, lawn clippings and the slag at the bottom of a Souplantation trash bin, the black puke sprayed actors Amanda Seyfried and Johnny Simmons, whose characters were doing their best to fight off a cannibalistic fiend, an otherwise popular cheerleader named Jennifer Check.
It was among the more gothic scenes in Jennifer’s Body, a closing battle with fewer rules than Ultimate Fighting, pitting Jennifer (Transformer’s Fox) against her longtime friend Needy Lesnicky (Seyfried, of Mamma Mia!) and her relatively wimpy boyfriend Chip Dove (Evan Almighty’s Simmons). The movie’s swimming pool location, inside a derelict juvenile hall slated to become a hospital for British Columbia’s criminally insane, was forbidding in its own right. The flotsam in the pool’s filthy water — leaves, a wheelchair, beer cans — made the entire setting for the film stomach-turning, especially since the young actors had to swim in it.
