Jeepers Creepers

Summary: 'Jeepers' will give you the 'Creepers'.
Review: This movie was great! I loved it a lot. The beginning was extreamly frightening and bloody. Gina Philips who plays the sister Trisha is HOT as hell! The Creeper is more scarier when you don't see his face. He could have been more scarier, but who cares, Jeepers Creeper is scary as hell and is so kick-[behind]! I was on the edge of my seat and totally horrified. Yes, I am asking the same question everyone else is asking, "Why did they go back?". I agree that they should have just drove off. I still don't care because this movie was scary and awesome! The ending was good and takes place at a police station like the 'Resident Evil' video games. ..., the movie was a spin-chilling movie with lots of chills and thrills! So what's eating you? Go see this movie and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Summary: The best horror/thriller of 2001.
Review: Brother and sister (Justin Long and Gina Phillips) discover the lair of a demonic being and find themselves the target of this hell-bent creature. Superb horror/thriller harkens back to the "old-style" of the 80's, aiming entirely for suspense and scares over hip dialogue and rock music. Writer/director Victor Salva brings style and atmosphere and nicely understates the mood. Good performances from Long and Phillips, which serves to make the chilling finale all the more effective.

Summary: Jeepers yes, Creepers yes, but nothing more
Review: Saw this film last night and have to say I was extremely relieved to have finally seen a decent scary movie for a change, instead of the teen-slasher, no-plot, know-whats-happening-next films that have plagued the genre for a while now. It looks low budget but not too low budget, but it doesn't detract from the storytelling. It reminded me of when I was young, telling scary stories late at night to friends.

It does have it's scary moments - I have to say I did jump a few times (the crows - eek! I'll make a bird pie methinks...), and it didn't stray from the path it was taking, but it wasn't a film that would keep me awake at night. However I really felt cheated with the ending - what a let down! Maybe it was supposed to be, I don't know, because it does leave you wanting to know more.

I would recommend this film - it is worth seeing. It won't blow you away, but it will keep you entertained no end. I should've went to see it in the cinema, even with it's poor ending, but if they ever make a sequel, and here's hoping they do, I'll be the first in the queue to see it in the cinema!

Summary: And I thought U571 was bad!
Review: This movie starts quite well with beleivable dialogue and adequate acting.
When Darry and his sister are terrorised on the road by a mini Duel truck, then see the driver of the truck dumping a body down a pipe, you actually care what happens next. Unfortunately, when the cloaked body dumper with the silly hat takes off after them and they manage to completely lose him with the brilliant plan of 'pulling to the side of the road', the warning bells start to chime.
What follows is about an hour of absolute poo. Nothing anybody does or says from this point on makes any sense.
The bad guy turns out to be an extra from Buffy who likes to suck on peoples' tongues. He comes after our two protagonists with the skill and intelligence of a lobster on smack.
After some stupid running around and bad acting, Darry and Wendy (or whatever her name was) find themselves at a police station in the middle of nowhere that has a staff on duty of three hundred and forty, all with riot gear. When confronted by the tongue sucker, this heavily armed mob decides that the best course of action is to look at it for a while.
There are so many holes in the plot of this film that at one point a pointless character explains "it doesn't have to make sense, it's not a movie", well newsflash nobody: IT IS A MOVIE!!!
This same character is then eaten by the sucker, only to return in the next scene completely unscathed.
This pap goes on until something happens that isn't particularly interesting.
What ever you do do not spend a single dollar on veiwing this [movie] unless you want a lesson on how not to make a horror movie.

Summary: Scariest Movie

Summary: Terrible
Review: In the first minutes of the film, these two kids drive by a house where they see a spooky looking guy dumping a body down a rusty drainpipe. Do they go tell the authorities? No! They actually turn around and one of them goes DOWN THE PIPE HIMSELF! The best part of this movie was the ending, since what happens to this same character will keep him from passing on his truly defective genes. Unfortunately, the same thing won't happen to the cheese vendors who produced this [awful] movie.

Summary: Pretty good, exceeds low expectations
Review: So there's this horrible, disgusting creature who chases after a young boy's organs...and he made a movie! Ahem. I digress. Water under the bridge.

Dari and Trish are on their way home from college. Of course, they are taking the long, out-of-the-way road where two people went missing over twenty years ago. They are nearly run off the road by a beat-up, menacing truck that seems to have a life of its own. Later, they see the occupant of the truck dumping something (a body?) into a large pipe. He turns and watches them drive past. This is the best shot in the movie! This time they do get run off the road and Dari wants to go back and see what's in the pipe (idiot). At the bottom Dari finds something disturbing (I'm sure you can guess), so they high tail it out of there to the nearest diner. Dari gets a call from a psychic who tells him to watch out for the song Jeepers Creepers, 'cause that's when HE'LL come.

We then get into the best horror sequence of 2001. Someone notices the Creeper going through Dari's things out in the car. Dari and Trish offer to take the police to the secret pipe but the Creeper attacks during and awful rock version of Jeepers Creepers (I'm sure you can guess what happens to the police escort). It's the second best shot in the film! Dari and Trish escape to Eileen Brennan's farm and shoot it out with the Creeper. "That ain't my scarecrow!" . Pretty cool sequence.

From there it's off to the police station and a big battle between the local P.D. and the Creeper. I won't reveal the ending, but I will say it just seems like they cut out the entire third act. It just ends.

Jeepers Creepers got a lot of negative reviews when it was released. I can guess why. Most critics don't know how to review a horror film. It doesn't conform to the other rules of cinema. All you have to do is tell a scary story and this one works more often than it doesn't. The problem I have with it is; when it doesn't work, it REALLY doesn't work. The Miss Cleo character is the most striking example. She's put there to reveal necessary information to save Dari's and Trish's lives, but at a critical moment she refuses to help them because they might have a negative reaction to her information. Huh? Dari's reason for going down the pipe isn't really that good either. Salva scripted and would do well to let a better screenwriter handle the reigns of Jeepers Creepers 2. Yes, it's coming.

The DVD offers just about everything you could want. Commentary. Deleted Scenes. Making ofs.

On the whole this is a pretty good horror movie. Reminiscent of Dean Koontz's Phantoms or Jason Goes to Hell. Hollywood can do better horror, but this will do until the next wave come in.

Summary: It's About Time!!!
Review: It's about time a horror movie interested me enough to where I went to see it in the theater. Jeepers Creepers is a non-stop horrifying thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. It's a creepy, eerie film that will give you chills up and down your spine. It was also the first time in a long time a DEMON was the killer. I enjoy movies like Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer but to me a "True" horror movie must have some supernatural demon from hell spilling the blood. Speaking of blood, if you like horror movies but have to turn away from the violent, disturbing scenes this movie is perfect for you. After I saw this movie I couldn't help but think something was missing... you guessed it, the blood. Not showing many of the violent scenes only adds to the mystery and mystique of this film. It lets you use your imagination. If your a fan of the "True" horror movies like I am check out Jeepers Creepers.

Summary: If movies made us dumber....
Review: If movies could make us dumber by simply watching them, this movie would be one of them. I expected a rollicking horror film, but instead got a mediocre effort at best. The first few minutes of the movie were genuinely scary, however, it went downhill after that. The plot was predictable, and the ending was a feeble attempt at black comedy. If i could give this film less than one star, I would.

Summary: i would've given it zero if i could've
Review: This movie was horrible. I have never written a review before and probably never will again but, this movie was so bad i thought it was only fair that i warn any potential viewers.

The first half hour of the movie gets you interested but its all down hill from there. They ask all kinds of questions about the killer but don't answer any of them. The whole point of the movie seemed to be lets sell as many tickets as we can for this movie and hope they come back for the sequel.
