Summary: Good beginning, goes horribly wrong halfway through...
Review: The shame is, the movie was doing fairly well with me for the first 1/2 or so, but then started going tradgically wrong!
The movie pretty much starts with a good chase scene, that really does raise some goosebumps.
The movie then goes into a bunch of classic horror movie cliches, and even acknowledges the fact. The sister says something to her brother about how there is a point in all horror movies where someone does something stupid, and that's what he was doing. Would have been funny in Scream, but not here where they weren't trying to be a spoof. The scenes in the church basement were disturbing enough to be scary, but then the movie turned into a really, really bad made-for-tv movie.
You never really care about the main characters in the movie. You never really care about the monster, or how or why he exists. One line in the entire movie tries to explain The Creeper. One line? To explain a flesh eating monster who can't be stopped? Um, alright.
The performances were terrible.
I am a fan (not a big fan, but a fan) of the horror movie genre. What makes them fun is being scared, being grossed out, and believing (if even slightly) in what is going on in the film. You get none of the above in this one in the second half. The first half was decent (hence the two stars) but the second half ruins any of the good they did earlier in the film. The end was pathetic, but I was at least glad it was finally over.
I remember when this came out, I was thinking that it would be a good rental. It wasn't even worth the rental fee.
Avoid this at all costs!

Summary: Such promise and yet no delivery!!!!!!
Review: Let me apologize first by stating that I am one of those people that wants there to be resolution at the end of a movie. I want to know what the hell is going on and why. There is one exception to that and that would be Blair Witch Project. Unfortunately, this movie does not supply me with any useful information about what and why everything is happening. I also want a movie to deliver when it claims to have the scariest opening sequence and the gutsiest ending. This movie does not deliver on either one of those claims. If simply leaving the movie unfinished and open at the end is gutsy, then I say NO to gutsy endings. And if a movie does not have an opening sequence scarier than Scream or doesnt even come close, then dont make the claim that it is the scariest. On the other hand, this movie had so much promise, it did have me scared, it did have me nervous and on the edge of my seat. That is until the ending came. I was so furious and angry that it made me hate the movie. Also, there was really nothing that frightening about the monster. If they wanted to leave something to the imagination, they should have let us imagine him. My own image would have been far more frightening than him/it or whatever it is. And what the hell is it anyway? Not knowing what it is or what and why it is doing evil things does not scare me, it only aggravates me and ticks me off. Loose ends just dont work and only make it seem that the person directing or producing is just sequel hungry. Ugh!!!!! Well, that's what I think and feel about this movie that had such promise and no delivery of the goods that we so desperately seek in horror/scary movies. But I guess once one has seen Scream, all others pale in comparison. Scream is a hard act to follow and I am sure everyone knows this.
Thanks for taking the time to read my ranting and raving.

Summary: Jeepers Creepers, why did you get those great reviews?
Review: After seeing the really suspenseful trailer and reading some very good critics of this horror flick, I couldn't wait to see it. It seemed as if this one would be different from your usual slasher stuff, I really expected to see a piece of psychological horror. But it's not. I was so dissapointed when I left the cinema. Though not very original (it reminded me very often of "Duell" and "Joyride"), the movie began quite promising, there are some witty dialogues, and you get to know the two protagonists better than it's usual for scary movies, Gina Phillips's and Justin Long's acting was also good. But that's only the first half of the trip. After some great (really great!) psychological shock moments, you get to see the villain and after seeing him it all gets very ridiculous, it seemed to me as if I'm seeing a really bad unaired episode of "Buffy-The Vampire Slayer". The atmosphere of silent terror gets destroyed by this cheap, cheap, cheap monster make up. It's the most ridiculous monster I've ever seen. It's not scary at all! And so is the ending, though it's surprisingly pessimistic, it's not satisfying at all. The movie just stops...the ending just doesn't feel right. I don't have anything against pessimistic and shocking endings, but hello! This ending just looked like they had not enough money to bring the movie to an end!
Though all in all disappointing, this movie is worth a watch (rent it first), the first half is one of the finest in modern teen horror history. This one could have been so much better, why do they always have to show the monster?

Summary: Stupid
Review: I rented this movie because I love a good horror movie and because the reviews on ...(this website) were so favorable. When I started watching it, I was reminded of Neve Cambell in "Scream" when she says people in horror movies always do the exact opposite of what they should. The two actors in this film did a pretty good job with the pathetic characters they were playing. When the creature comes after them, they stand and watch. When they should be going to the police, they go back to investigate themselves or sit in the car and again, watch the creature come after them. The whole way through the movie, I was screaming, "What are you doing idiot?" I should have asked myself that for watching this stupid film to the end.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Painful... I mean REALLY painful.
Review: I was stunned to see that so many people had even given this movie more than one star as I would have opted for 0 stars if given the option. Face it... this is NOT a scary movie... well, it is scary that such horrible films are released... or the stupidity of all the characters in the movie, which boggles the mind. In this movie, in any given situation, the protaganists acts and decides in a manner opposite any human being with more than one brain cell would act. The movie is filled with so many "I hear a noise, let me go check it out by myself and if I don't come back, you come look for me, by yourself" stupidity.
The ending whereby the protaganist is killed and skinned (no one in the theater was sad to see him go) is so abrupt because you were kind of expecting an attempt to rescue him. Instead, we were greeted by sudden credits. Trust me, there was no other movie where I heard so many people slapping their foreheads in exasperation or laughing at the sheer stupidity of the movie.
This movie was painful, literally painful to watch. After watching the movie (and cursing that I wasted my time and money), I felt nothing but absolute disgust. The only thing more scary than this movie was the rumor that they are making a sequel... ...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Yes the best horror movie of 2001 and one of the best ever!!
Review: This movie is great, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes it has a story and a weird somewhat plot, its not too violent, yet in my opinion very scary. People today who are expecting this to be like friday the 13th,exorcist,scream, ect. will be dissapointed because it isnt. It is even way better then that, because this in my opinion is one of the most original horror stories ever especially the lay out of the characters. The actors are excellent, you can really feel their fear in this film. I mean just imagine seeing a creature like the one in this movie in real life, no matter what you say it would be terrifying. Anyone who doesnt like this movie, thinks its bad whatever, well this just isnt your type of film not because you thought it was a waste of time but because you didnt watch it like you shouldve and taken time to sit and try to get into it. I saw this movie 4 times in the theatre and the whole time the entire audience was quite, including the sometimes annoying youth. All eyes and ears need to be focused on this movie the whole time or you will lose it and not get it whats going on so of course it would seem like an odd show to you. And anyone who loves horror movies this has got to be a for you it is a true horror movie, and in a way is very realistic maybe not the creature but just the layout, the timing and the fear in these people that go through all this. Enjoy the movie if you enjoy roller coaster rides, and there is no point to ruin the ending but that is the only bad thing about this film is the ending but its still worth it, and there will be a sequel, can you say vengeance? lets hope so, anyway get this movie its outstanding.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Holy Jeepers... I got the Creepers!!!! :P
Review: I did not watch this movie at the theathers, but some of my friends did and they hated it. I asked why and they had no explenation. But anyways when this DvD came out on release day I rushed and got me one and took it home. And before I started to open up the factory seal on it,,,, one of my buddies called me and told me to "STOP" and not open it becasue it would be the worste [price]spent on any DvD. He recommended me to rent it before I open my DvD. So me and my dumb self had to listen to him,... so I rushed over to my local BlockBuster and got me one and rushed home and watched it.
All I have to say is WOW!!!! This movie was pretty creepy and I really enjoyed this flick. I think that majority of people why they did not like it because there are some things that can throw you off and ask certin questions. For Example:
1). Where did this monster come from?
2). Why did this monster kill people and for what reason??
but I truly did understand this movie. infact its a keeper for a true horror movie collectors.
I have to say please buy it and if you dont got the cash to own it.. please rent it and I can promise you you will enjoy this horror of an thriller movie!!! Jeepers ... creepers,,, where you get them peepers (just remember this song) :) !!!!

Summary: one of the year's worst films
Review: I don't particularly go for these teenage horror films that have been popping up ever since SCREAM came out. Now don't get me wrong, I like horror films, but my taste lies more in the vicinity of Dario Argento, George Romero, Clive Barker, and Luci Fulci. But I sat down to see JEEPERS CREEPERS with an open heart, and the film started out pretty good. The story goes as follows; The two siblings, Trish and Darry, are on their way home to visir their parents, on a college break, when they are suddenly harassed by an eerie looking old van, whilst driving along a deserted stretch of American highway. It's all very much like THE HITCHER. After a short while the van drives on and dissapears, until Trish and Darry comes across it again, this time parked in front of an abandoned church. As they drive by, they see a person dumping what appears to be bodies wrapped in white sheet into a pipe in the ground. Unfortunetaly, the person also spots Trish and Darry; Another car chase follows. Trish and Darry manages to escape again, but this time Darry gets the brilliant idea that they should backtrack and see if anybody needs help. Valiant, sure, but stupid. "Haven't you watched enough horror movies?" Trish asks Darry, and it's bad luck for Darry that he obviously hasn't, because we all know what Darry doesn't; Never, ever, under any circustance, go back... So far the film is fairly exciting. There's even some pretty nice camera work to behold. But it doesn't take long before the plot pretty much skyrockets off the face of the planet. Now this is okey if you can maintain credibility, but JEEPERS CREEPERS certainly can't. Things become ridiculous, and when stuff gets ridiculous they seize to be scary. I started out thinking that "boy would this be creepy if it happened to me," and I ended up thinking "what a totally awful film this is,"
