Biography
Insecure Anita "Needy" Lesnicki and popular flag girl Jennifer Check (Megan Fox) have been best friends since childhood, despite having little in common. A fellow student accused Needy of being gay, despiste having a boyfriend (whom she has made love with), as it's the only logical explanation for Needy even staying in contact with a bitch like Jennifer. However, Needy firmly believed it was their childhood freindship.
One night, Jennifer takes Needy to a local dive bar to attend a concert by indie rock band Low Shoulder. A suspicious fire engulfs the bar, killing several spectators, and Jennifer is taken by the band despite Needy's attempts to stop her. Later that evening, Jennifer, covered in blood, appears in Needy's kitchen and proceeds to eat chicken from the refrigerator. Unable to digest the matter, she vomits a trail of black fluid and then leaves in a hurry as Needy calls after her.
The next morning at school, Jennifer appears fine and shrugs off Needy's concerns. While the small town is devastated by the numerous deaths caused by the fire, Jennifer seduces the school's football captain, jonas, and then attacks him in the woods, naked, where his bloodied corpse is found later by a teacher. The band gains popularity due to their rumored heroism during the fire.
A month later, Jennifer is beginning to look pale and accepts a date with Colin (Kyle Gallner), only to brutally kill him that night. While Needy and her boyfriend, Chip (Johnny Simmons),proceed to have sex, Needy senses something dreadful has happened to Jennifet. She leaves in a panic and almost runs over Jennifer, covered in blood. She rushes home and finds Jennifer in her bed, receiving a kiss to both her lips and a French kiss. Seemingly entranced, Needy begins making out with Jennifer on her bed. Though extremely pleasurable to both of them, Needy's mind soon realizes the lesbian action between them and backs off. Jennifer then expains what happened after the fire: Low Shoulder took her into the woods, and offered her as a virgin sacrifice to Satan in exchange for fame and fortune. However, although the exchange was a success, Jennifer was not a virgin, resulting in a demonic spirit possessing over her body.
The next day at school, as the town is stunned by Colin's death, Needy goes to the school library's occult section and surmises that Jennifer is a Succubus; she is weakest when she is hungry, and must eat flesh in order to sustain her life and appearance. Needy tells Chip about what happened to jennifer, some facts from the book and warns him not to attend the dance. He does not believe her and she subsequently breaks up with him in order to protect him.
Chip goes to the dance, hoping to meet with Needy, but he is intercepted by Jennifer, who seduces him and takes him to an abandoned pool house. Needy arrives there and finds Jennifer bit into his neck; this makes Needy wonder if Jennifer did this to piss her off or because she was afraid of being abandoned by her only friend. Needy tries to drown Jennifer and then helps Chip out of the pool. Jennifer, hovering in the air, attacks Needy but is later stabbed by Chip with a pool skimmer. Jennifer escapes while Needy watches her boyfriend die.
Needy goes to Jennifer's home, enters through the window and attacks her with a boxcutter. Stabbing her in the heart, she kills her. Jennifer's mother (Carrie Genzel) comes in and finds Needy with the boxcutter on top of her daughter's body. Soon after, Needy is committed to an asylum. As she was bitten by Jennifer, she has obtained some of Jennifer's supernatural abilities. Set upon revenge, she escapes the facility and hitchhikes a ride to the hotel where Low Shoulder is staying; she makes her way to their room and butchers them all.
