Uncommon card · No. 151415

Jennifer is a 1978 American supernatural horror film directed by Brice Mack and starring Lisa Pelikan, Bert Convy, Wesley Eure, Nina Foch, and John Gavin. Its plot follows a young woman from Appalachia who, ostracized by her peers at an elite Los Angeles boarding school, enacts violent revenge through her psychokinetic ability to control snakes. Filmed in Los Angeles in the fall of 1977, Jennifer was released by American International Pictures in April 1978. The film was widely considered by critics at the time as the studio's "opportunistic cash-in" on the popularity of Brian De Palma's Carrie (1976). Some contemporary critics have assessed the film as part of a trend of ecological-themed horror films of the era, alongside Willard (1971) and Killer Bees (1974).
