Jennifer (Brice Mack; 1978)

Jennifer was a release from drive-in specialists American-International Pictures to cash in on the success of Carrie (hence the one-word title referring to the female protagonist). In this blatant rip-off, the mousey misfit spouts a power over snakes, rather than telekinesis, which comes in handy for her revenge on the snotty school clique that picks on her. The movie was renamed Jennifer The Snake Goddess for television, and I actually prefer that title! It encapsulates the cheesy appeal of this minor but absorbing chiller.
