Summary: Jeepers Creepers, a horror? I swore it was a comedy!
Review: This was the most pathetic horror I have ever laid my eyes on. If you thought Nightmare on Elm Street was corny, you'll despise this. The story was so obvious that it was plain sad. I thought the 2 teenagers in the beginning were actually going to go somewhere and do smething productive but no, they just drove around the entire time, running away from this hilarious looking monster. The only reason I gave this movie 2 stars because it was so bad that it was one of the funniest things I've seen since Monty Phython's Holy Grail and Mystery Science Theater (which are awesome shows by the way). I laughed throughout the entire show and so did the majority in the rest of the theatre. So if you're looking for something to amuse you, take a look at this movie, otherwise rent something worth your 5 bucks.

Summary: Jeepers Creepers
Review: A scary, good horror movie extremly better than Valentine or Soul Survivers. Starring Gina Philips, Justin Long, Eileen Brennan and Jonathon Breck.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Scary movie
Review: I give this movie three stars. It's very scary and the suspense is good, but the plot could use some build up. If money's tight, I'd do the matinee and save your money. The ending was good, but the movie is too short. I left the theater feeling unsatisfied. I'm not going to tell you the movie, the other reviews do that. Needless to say I'd like a "Jeepers Creepers II" so I could understand the plot. There's a lot stuff that I'd like to see explained.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Some "creepers" but no "jeepers"!
Review: Jeepers Creepers starts off as a howlingly funny, nail-bitingly tense road movie about a brother and a sister who meet danger on their way home from college. It works, it's scary, you laugh and jump. Then, about an hour into the movie, Jeepers Creepers turns into the same horror movie that you've seen hundreds of times. That's not so bad, it's just that the beginning of the movie prepares you for so much more. The movie is so unpredictable, then it becomes so very predictable, leaving the viewer disappointed yet still entertained. The acting in the film is surprisingly good for the horror genre, but the special effects fall flat. Have you ever seen the Tales From the Crypt television show? If so, that's pretty much what you'll get with this one. I have to say, I had fun watching this film. It's bad, but it's fun-bad. In an age of the summer film Pearl Harbor making any type of money whatsoever, Jeepers Creepers definitely deserves at least a glance. You might not love it, but you probably won't hate it either.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Chillingly effective!!
Review: This is hands down the best scary movie in a long time!!What makes it that is 1)Fine performances 2)A great script (the writer actually takes time to introduce you to the characters and give you a story,rather than just say "Here's some people the bad guy kills.") and the characters are people you Actually Like, not like in those other so called "Thrillers" "Scream" or the equally mindless "Last Summer" movies both of which had characters I didn't give a rats a__ about. And the 3rd thing that makes J.C. a good movie is the great make up f/x.(I can honestly say I wouldn't want the "Creeper" after me.) And the final thing that makes this a great scary movie,it is Actually Scary!! My wife and I have seen every scary movie to come out in the last 4 yrs. and none have been as effective as this. Bottom line, if it's jump out of your seat scares you want, this is your movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fun frights, but ultimately disturbing...
Review: This movie is no masterpiece, but it is very entertaining. I liked it because I'm a huge fan of horror flicks, and this one combines many elements of many classic horror films. First of all, the brother/sister banter in the car is reminiscent of "Night of the Living Dead". The car chase by the unseen stranger in a big truck is right out of Steven Spielberg's "Duel". The main hook in the storyline about a big creepy dude collecting bodies is pure "Phantasm". The monster itself seems to be a gargoyle - he resembles the monsters from an outstanding TV-movie from the 70's called "Gargoyles". The monster also has a bit of the "Creature from the Black Lagoon" in his look. Thankfully, he doesn't talk, but he does whistle. And that song is really what this whole movie is all about. That tune, combined with the ad nauseum foreshadowing establishing our young hero's virtual exophthalmos, explains exactly why this creeper is so hot to get his claws on our young hero - and this is confirmed in the film's final shot. I doubt that there will be a sequel - this is a stand-alone flick. My only complaint: it breaks a cardinal rule of fair play in horror movies. I hate when that happens....

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Jeepers Creepers
Review: I think that the movie was really creepie and great. After all it had a lot of hard work put into it.It was an over all great movie that i would want to see again. The only thing that people were dissapointed about was the Ending {witch i won't explain because that would spoil it for other people who havent seen it.}

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: one of few really good horror flicks
Review: I saw this movie recently and it kicks ...! The director tries to distract you with meaningless, trivial conversation, and all the while the plot thickens. Many things you would never expect will happen in this movie. Hold on to your seat!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I predict this will become a cult classic
Review: In "Jeepers Creepers," a college-aged brother and sister are driving down a lonely country highway. Derrin, the brother, has just picked up Trish, the sister, from her college, and is driving home cross country with her. Suddenly, they are accosted by a terrifyingly loud, terrifyingly fast truck, which seeks to ram them off the road. Somehow they survive this encounter, but later they see the driver of the truck dumping what looks quite a lot like a dead body into a huge pipe that sticks out of the ground, off by the side of the road, by an abandoned church. Should they a.)investigate? or b.) run for their lives? Personally, I would have chosen "b" in a heartbeat, but hey, it's a horror movie. They investigate, and their lives immediately take a turn for the worse. I won't give any more of the story away -- I'll just say that it involves a psychic, some extremely unfortunate cops, a fiendish bad guy, and quite a few horrifying shocks along the way.

I predict that this movie will turn out to be an enduring cult classic, like "Phantasm" or "Pumpkinhead." It doesn't always make perfect sense, but it feels just enough like the kind of ghost stories kids tell each other over campfires that it has a genuinely mythic, timeless quality. It seems like it could happen anywhere, in any lonely little small town... This is the kind of movie guaranteed to provoke nightmares in the little 9-13 year old kid inside all of us. Also, the dialogue is incredible, especially at the beginning. Really a scary movie. Two thumbs up.
