It's pretty much captured in the last three images/phrases in the TV trailer:
"Jennifer's Body." [shot of actress unzipping her jacket, revealing her midriff] {her voice} "You want it?"
This is bigtime eye-rolling territory.
(I'm not a Freudian theorist, but if I were, I could surmise from what is known about the movie to date that the main character is a symbol, the living representation of vagina dentata.)
Ahh, not getting a chance to see much TV, I haven't seen that one yet. I've only seen a few online trailers which place the movie firmly in the "listing of horror movie tropes" category, but nothing was particularly misogynist there (although, I must say, the thing is decidedly anti-intellectual, but...well, it's a horror flick so, it is what it is...heh)
