Summary: Finally a good scary movie!!!!!!!!
Review: Since Halloween,Psycho,Friday The 13th,A Nightmare On Elm Street, there haven't really been any good scary movies.Now this looks like its gonna be really scary!!.On the theatrical release commercial at the movies,two teens are in the middle of nowhere see a weird guy throw a rug down a tunnel in a cave.The teens stop by the cave to investigate.The boy teen looks down the tunnel while the girl teen holds his feet.Then the girl teen sees an animal or something and lets go of his feet. The teen slides down the tunnel and when he finally gets to the bottom of the cave, he finds millions of bodies wrapped in rugs.Then the teen sees a guy in a black dark robe and screams as loud as he can.To me it looks really good.There were a couple of failures before this.Like Urban Legends:Final Cut, a terrible sequel,Stigmata, which wasn't even scary or gory.Jeepers Creepers will be released in all theatres widely August 31st.Rated R for strong horror/violence,language, and brief nudity.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AWESOME ENDING! Worth viewing on the strength of the ending.
Review: This movie is certainly not ground-breaking (though it could have been). Like many others have commented, it loses steam mid-way through (after the kids leave the church). HOWEVER, if you can look past some of the lame 2nd half moments...the last 2-3 minutes of the movie is pure cinematic glory.

Ignore all the negative reviews. Must be by folks requiring the obligatory "happy" ending.

Summary: I give this movie -20 stars
Review: This is the worst, most unoriginal movie ever. Terrible acting. Terrible plot. Monster as scary as Mickey Mouse. I like horro movies. I like even terrible horror movies. This movie is its own genre of dung. Save a few hours of your life and watch something else. Anyone who likes this movie is a nerd and don't listen to their advice to watch it.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Entertaining fright feast!
Review:
Two young adults ( Gina Philips and Justin Long) are driving their way through a sunny day on springbreak week until they witness a house that has a strange person dumping a body down a pipe. They get suspicious as they investigate that hole on what that odd person dumped down there, it appears to be a body but also a collection of stitch taxidermies made of human bodies. They head out to a local town to contact the cops, but soon the odd man from the house who has the bodies begins to stalk the two and cannot be stopped until the two are dead as he is really a monster.

Entertaining and quite different horror thriller that harkons back to the 70's horror movies of it's era, there is some decent acting, fine gore and scares to go with it. The opening sequence is quite terrifying and it's twist ending is definitely disturbing as well, i think it's the one of the better horror offerings in recent memory.

The Special Edition DVD is very cool! an informative audio commentary by the director, crisp picture & Sound, Deleted & extended scenes especially an alternate ending, featurettes, Photo gallery, and Trailer.

Also recommended: House of 1000 Corpses, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre ( 1974 and 2003), Re-Animator, Final Destination 1 & 2, From Dusk Till Dawn, Demons, Friday The 13th series, Nightmare on Elm Street series, Stephen King's IT, The Shining, Cannibal Holocaust, City of the Living Dead ( a.k.a. The Gates of Hell), Evil Dead II, House By The Cemetery, The New York Ripper, The Others, Se7en, The Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal, Phantasm, Tenebre, Wrong Turn and The Hills Have Eyes.

Summary: Great Director's Commentary
Review: I agree with the majority of reviewers that this is one of the better horror movies to have been made, including, sadly, Jeepers Creepers 2. I'm writing to mention that the director's commentary for this movie is a hidden treat on the dvd - it's just great, especially since as you watch Jeepers Creepers you can't help wondering why more horror movies are not this good. Victor Sava goes through all his thought processes, telling us how he made this movie work. He describes how he developed the characters, how he conceived the story, how he used lighting and mood in the film and many other fascinating details that make you feel like you're really on the inside of the process. One of the most interesting parts of his commentary is his description of how he had to fight the studio/producer to keep certain scenes in the movie: the essential tension being that he wanted to develop the characters so that we would care when something happened to them, and the producer wanted to get to the slashing. I've watched lot of these commentaries and they readily devolve into a bunch of anecdotes that, in the end, are not very interesting. (This is exactly what happened in the commentary to Jeepers Creepers 2, which is a stinkfest of Sava and bunch of young actors telling in-jokes about the production.) This one really is good, though, it's almost like a mini-film school, or at least one of the better lectures at a mini-film school. Similarly recommended are the special features included in the special edition DVD of Robert Rodriguez's Desperado/El Mariachi.

Summary: "I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER" MEETS "DUEL"
Review: well the 1st half hour anyways. the rest of it ? who knows? . but it was pretty fun

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A bit maddening
Review: Just knowing that there is a sequel to this movie led me to want to see this movie. After watching it, the reason is obvious. The first movie answers little to nothing. If anything, this movie was one big question mark.

Without going into detail of the story, suffice it to say that the main characters, the police, the psychic, and we the viewers have no idea what the creature is. For horror aficionados, the creature is well done and scary. Ideas of demons and or animal hybrids may come to mind. Unfortunately for us, the movie never goes into detail. The attempt of the creature to appear somewhat human is thrilling.

The main characters are a brother and sister traveling home from college. Part of their discussion, as well as their trip to begin with, border on urban legend. The siblings argue back and forth as only siblings can, but these actors do almost too good a job. Before too long into the movie, I found myself completely siding with one and losing my temper with the other. (Who hasn't yelled at the TV?) Although this seems to detract for the story, the emotional response added to the movie experience for me.

Although I haven't seen the next one, I would hope that it answers the questions raised in this one. Given that, I would recommend not watching this unless you are going to be watching the sequel soon afterwards

Summary: Where'd You Get Those Eyes? Oh, From Him? Ok...
Review: The first half hour of this movie is fantastic. A brother and sister are driving down the empty country road, going home from college, when all of a sudden a massive truck with the license plate "BEATINGU" comes from out of nowhere, nearly running them off the road. Later on, the kids pass by the truck again, noticing a mysterious figure throwing a burlap bag into a sewage pipe. He sees them and comes after them again.

From there, everything goes down the sewage pipe. It turns out this mysterious figure is a creature that eats various body parts of humans every 23 years for 23 days. Later on we see that this thing has wings and can fly, which then made me think "Why was he driving the truck then?"

When you're watching a horror movie and you have to question the logistics of it, that means the movie sucks. Horror movies rarely make any sense, but the fact that I thought this while watching it means that it wasn't really keeping my attention. The flaw of the film is it doesn't really know what it wants to be. It seems as if the first half hour was written and Salva didn't know what to do with it, so he just made up a bunch of crap for the last hour. An irritating and useless repetition of the song "Jeepers Creepers" doesn't help either.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Hardly have the words
Review: I love horror movies. I can't get enough of them. This has to be the worst horror flick in recent years, along with Cabin Fever. You are left staring at the screen in awe of how bad it was. I seriously felt my brain cells possibly melting away with every minute I watched it.

I try not to write bad reviews, but nothing about this movie was great. The acting left much to be desired. The filmed lacked intensity. While the plot wasn't terrible, it could have been been delivered in a much more entertaining way. While it had plenty of gore, it was missing the "sitting at the edge of your seat" feeling. Instead of biting my nails, I was scratching my head wondering what the heck were they thinking.

All in all, I was bored out of my mind. I would rather kick back and watch classics like The Thing, Halloween, or Poltergiest. The Exorcist is the scariest movie of all time in my opinion.

I would save your time and money on this one, in my opinion. But, everyone has there taste in horror flicks. My friends and family who watched this all agree that it would have been better to leave it on the shelf.
