Jennifer

JENIFER by Dario Argento (55mins)  Masters of Horror Series
+ Horor Filmmaking documentary (120 mins)
English Language



Jenifer is the fourth episode of the first season of Masters of Horror. It originally aired in North America on November 18, 2005. It was directed by Dario Argento, and written by and starring Steven Weber. "Jenifer" is adapted from a 10-page black-and-white comic book story, written by Bruce Jones and illustrated by Berni Wrightson, that originally appeared in issue #63 (July 1974) of the horror anthology title Creepy.

Jenifer: Dario Argento - 55 mins
Detective Frank Spivey is a witness to the attack on a young woman with a mutilated face. He saves her life and in a fit of compassion takes to own home. Jenifer, because that is the name of the girl, but begins to arouse in him not only a feeling of concern, but also a desire that turns into an obsession. Frank will see that it can be devastating, as Jenifer has a destructive force ...

That said, Jenifer does a great job at being unsettling. It's not in any way subtle though, and it's a departure from Argento's previous work both stylistically and thematically. Not inherent problems, as it's clear that Argento at this point was attempting to evolve - this film just doesn't make a strong case for itself. That and the writing is downright bad. There's not a whole lot else to latch on to either. When I heard the first few "la, la, las" in the opening sequence I thought Claudio Simonetti was back in fully form, but this is no Deep Red. The majority of the score sounds indistinguishable from typical TV fare.

The film was rejected for a DVD certificate in February 2004 in the United Kingdom by the BBFC over sexual violence being eroticized, and indecent images of an under-eighteen (in Britain, indecent images of children are illegal). The BBFC website has this to say regarding the film: This work was rejected. Dubbed,Widescreen,Under the Video Recordings Act 1984,the Board is required to consider any harmful effect that a video work may have upon potential viewers or,through their behaviour,to society by the manner in which it deals with (amongst other things) violent behaviour,horrific behaviour and human sexual activity. Women in Cellblock 9 contains many sequences depicting the abuse,torture and humiliation of naked women. These sequences were found to be in conflict with the Board's published classification guidelines,which prohibit scenes that eroticise or endorse sexual assault. The Board's strict stance on titillatory sexual violence is supported both by public opinion and by a large body of media effects research. In addition,The Protection of Children Act,as amended by the Sexual Offences Act 2003,makes the distribution and showing of indecent photographs of a child under the age of 18 a criminal offence. One of the lead actresses in Women in Cellblock 9 was just over 16 at the time the film was made. The Board was in no doubt that many of the sexualised scenes involving her would therefore be illegal. Although the amendment will not take effect until May 2004,the BBFC cannot classify material which would be in circulation in breach of the Act. The Board considered the option of cutting the work. However,the quantity of scenes involving eroticised sexual violence,combined with the indecent photographs of a person under 18,meant that cuts were not a viable option.
