Truly disturbing- contains spoilers

So, it has been several hours since I saw this movie, and I still have the horrific images of Jenifer in my mind. I can't believe what a good job they did on Carrie Ann's face. In the beginning, I thought that they would try to hide her face, or just show peeks from underneath her hair, but all of the full frontal shots of her disfigured face were very disturbing; most haunting, in my opinion, were her teeth, tongue, and dripping saliva. I don't really know how to rate this movie, because I found parts of the plot to be very hard to believe. When Steven Weber found her with the cat, and then with the child from next door, I found it very strange that he wouldn't return her to the psych hospital. However, this is the concept of the movie...that she has some strange power over men, mostly sexually, that makes them ruin their entire lives, and die, for her. I think that she must be some sort of demon/devil creature which is conveniently housed inside of a freakishly attractive body....with a "butter face", to say the least. When the camera focuses on her eyes, I think this backs up the idea that she is not just a psychopath, but a truly evil being. Her big, cold black eyes seem otherworldly. To sum this movie up, I don't know if I will be able to sleep tonight...not so much out of horror from the plot/events in the movie, but from the special effects makeup job done on the Jenifer character. This movie is not for people with weak stomachs!!
