Megan Fox got the Toronto International Film Festival's Midnight Madness program off to a sexy start Thursday with the late night debut of her new horror-comedy, Jennifer's Body.

Owning the red carpet in a black lace Valentino mini dress and strappy Christian Louboutin heels, Fox posed for photographers with a red rose she had graciously accepted from a fan upon her arrival. (We guess someone has learned from her past mistakes).

She then offered up some characteristically kooky soundbites, telling People magazine, "I don't like boys who are mean to their mommies. That's a real turn off for me. And I don't like boys who aren't chivalrous. To me, not being respectful is a big deal."

Despite Fox's enthusiastic reception from the fans lined up outside the theatre, the film isn't winning rave reviews. The Hollywood Reporter calls the Diablo Cody-penned flick "an unoriginal and mostly unscary horror-comedy," while Variety says, "while not exactly lifeless, Jennifer's Body could sure be fresher."
