Summary: Very Dissapointed
Review: Before watching the film, I heard a lot of people saying that it was a scary film and this made me want to watch it. But when it ended, I felt like I lost a part of my life watching the movie. It had to be the worst movie I had ever seen. It wasn't scary and the plot was weak. The parts that were supposed to be scary made me laugh. I would never waste my time watching this one, let alone watch the next one(Jeepers Creepers II) just because it was even in the same series as the first one.

Summary: Scary at first than boredom rolls around
Review: the horn! Yo the first 45 minutes are scary as a Kerry Lee Wood fastball but after me see the "creeper" the movie starts to reeks like a leave it to beaver reunion. I watched this movie after Super Bowl 38 in my dorm room at college and at first i was so scared that i couldnt even look out the winda. i didnt even want to move from my twin bed. Then after we saw the creeper i was like 'oh know this needs help or atleast John Cena or A.J. Harris in the hizzy. Overall to quote Terry Boers.."Bad" Avoid this movie unless somebody drops and you pick it up w/out telling them or you get it through a library via inter libary loan.
I'd rather watch Black Robe then this crapshootG-Skillit

Summary: Don't see many of these anymore.
Review: The first half of this movie is so tense and frightening that the second half is bound to be something of a letdown (the only ones that ever transcended this formula were Alien and Halloween). But on the whole, though it sticks to the rural formula, the movie is very good. The script is believable, they spare us the usual teenage sex subplot, and the director is smart enough to keep the monster hidden until the very end of the movie. (Turns out that's not quite long enough, but we can forgive him). Shades of both Texas Chainsaw and Spielberg's Duel, and some very original gross-out stuff that's pretty tastefully done. For every hundred terrible horror movies, you get one good one, and I'd put this one in that category.

Summary: Almost a Classic
Review: 'Jeepers Creepers' is a strange thing - for the most part, it's a genuinely impressive and extremely well-crafted horror movie, with shades of the true greats of the genre like the original 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' and 'Friday the Thirteenth', but then it goes and lets itself down with a predictable, tensionless ending. 'Jeepers Creepers' follows the story of brother and sister pair Trish and Darry Jenner (Gina Phillips and Justin Long) as they make the long road trip home from college for the holidays. Along the way they have a nasty altercation with a large black truck, and that starts a chain of devastating events with a highway murderer, out for their blood and refusing to let go. On so, so many levels this movie works better than most other contemporary horror movies. Hithero-unknown actors Phillips and Long prove themselves to be excellent actors, creating genuinely tense atmosphere and credible emotion in their roles. Direction, too, is excellent, with the hazy, summertime country highway vistas contrasing violently and to great effect with the chaos and noise of the Creeper and his truck. The images of the Murderer as a tall, all-in-black stranger work so very well - he's a genuinely scary character, an imposing figure straight out of a nightmare. The sense of isolation and tension created by director Victor Salva are strong, and give this movie the bulk of its strength. Shame, then, that the ending is effectively ruined by a predictable, unscary cliche involving the supernatural and a fat psychic. 'Jeepers Creepers' goes from sublime to ridiculous with action-movie style scenes and when the bad guy is finally unmasked, we can;t help but feel so disappointed. If you can overlook this fact, though, (and to be fair, the bad guy is visible in the rather good sequel from the get-go, not spoiling anything) 'Jeepers Creepers' is an excellent horror movie, and really one for any horror buff's collection.

Summary: Scary, Creepy, and Fun!!!
Review: Who likes monster movies?! I do!!!! Who doesn't like monster movies where helpless teens are terrorized to death! Well these 2 kids (brother and sister) are coming home from college when they see this guy dropping stuff into a sewage pipe. They drive by when they start to think that it might have been bodies!!! So they go back to investigate and soon discover that they were bodies!!! Now the guy knows that they were there and goes after them! They find out that this guy isn't a guy at all. HE IS A MONSTER that likes to take certain body parts from kids that he likes! COOL AIN'T IT!!!

Summary: Drivel
Review: This, is not good horror. If you want good horror, check out The Exorcist, In the Mouth of Madness, Event Horizon, Jacob's Ladder, Ringu, or maybe even Man Bites Dog. This is NOT a revisitation of any kind of vintage horror..... it's a company taking a shot in the dark. This one seems to want to borrow the "rural legend" theme from Pumpkinhead. The end product is nowhere near as well put together. Flavor of the week horror flicks CAN be good, suspension of disbelief included..... it's just that this one doesn't even seem to make an effort to convince (I mean c'mon, the only reason the curious guy gets his eyes eaten is because he thinks one of those "dead bodies" the demon is dropping down the pipe might be alive, for some stupid reason) the viewer at all. Mind you, the idea of a creature that regenerates itself by consuming the parts of its victims would be rather scary if implemented in say, a sci-fi horror movie, in this it just doesn't work. Add the fact that this movie got an even higher budget sequel is proof that God hates us all. If you want a good chill, go rent any of the movies mentioned above. If you've rented or bought this, and have received some sense of being entertained from it, you should be shot / stabbed, probably both. Bottom line is, DIE. People like you waste the money of good folks that wanna see worthwhile movies.

Summary: A great 45 minute movie lies within...
Review: After being subjected to post-modern horror for years, where movies were afraid to just be scary without winking at the audience, we have here, ladies and gentlemen, the scariest 45 minutes of film to come along in AGES. The first half of this movie is so full of dread. Superbly done. The rest of the movie...eh. Once we see the creature, it kinda falls apart. But I forgive them...especially since the last 10 seconds made my stomach drop. Again I shake my head in disbelief at people who toss this movie aside. Probably same folks who poo-pooed "Suspiria" and "Blair Witch"...just WHAT do they define as "scary"???

Summary: Jeepers Creepers, wish I had known who the director was!
Review: A pile of forgettable rubbish that went absolutely nowhere, explained nothing, had a monster that looked like a guy in a rubber suit, and a CONVICTED molester of children for a director, this one is worth ZERO stars. Too bad there's a one star minimum. I wish I had not unwittingly put money into the pocket of this director.

Summary: A Tough Movie To Review
Review: Let me tell you folks, this is the most difficult review I've ever written. Why? Personal politics about director Victor Salva. I won't rehash the reasons since so many reviews here tell the story, but let it be said that I feel he's a detestable human being. But I'm trying to put those feelings aside(it's difficult though) and just review the film itself. After all, I learned to do it with Woody Allen's films. Most of the bad reviews of this film are bashing it for all the wrong reasons. They're most likely written by "Scream" generation horror fans looking for the same kind of thing. Well, in Jeepers Creepers you won't be getting that, but instead a throwback to the 70s/80s school of bizarre, grindhouse horror flicks. Very much like the style of Rob Zombie's House of 1,000 Corpses. This style is more appreciated by the fans of obscure horror films of glory days past. I'm not defending Jeepers Creepers 100% coz it certainly has it's flaws. The biggest flaw is an overdose of the "Creeper." It was much more effective to see him from a distance in his attire. Even as we get closer to him and see what he looks like, it still isn't bad. Once he sheds his clothes, revealing a silvery, bird-like body, he ceases to be the least bit mysterious or creepy from then on. They should have kept it simple. Simplicity with this kind of formula works wonders. Yes, I agree the main characters are annoying. The frightened expression that the leading man wears throughout 90% of the film is fake looking and comical. Reviewers bash this coz all their questions regarding the monster weren't answered. Does everybody need explanations spoon fed to them? I though horror lied within what we don't fully understand; The unknown. The current trend in horror films is to have an explanation for EVERYTHING! That's why older horror films are so much better. A director had a crazy idea and went with it. Many classics were made this way. No one liked the ending. I don't think the ending could have been any better. Hero dies and monster gets away. That's the way a horror film should end if you ask me. Why make it fluffy and Disney? Doesn't really belong in horror. If you want that kind of closure, watch a romance film or a Bruckheimer action flick. Basically three stars is the best route to go considering it's pretty much Even Steven. I will say that when you avoid the personal politics, this film does entertain quite well in that nostalgic, midnight "B" movie way.
