Summary: Above Average Nu-Horror...
Review: Jeepers Creepers. When I first heard the title of this film and saw the teeny bopper cast from the promos, I was pretty sure this film would be a waste of time. But, then a funny thing happened. I started to hear from friends who said Jeepers Creepers was really scary and I read an endorsement on the newspaper ad from the "master" Clive Barker who said "...The Scariest Film I've Seen in Years." That was enough for me. The film doesn't waste much time getting right into the plot which is good. The plot is also very basic, a brother and sister driving home along the backroads from college. They are menaced off the road by a maniac in an old fashioned car. After surviving the scare of their lives, the loony drives away and the kids think all is well. As they continue driving they spot the maniac's truck at an abandoned old church. They see the guy chucking what appears to be bodies into a sewer drain. The story progresses well from here incorporating elements of the supernatural and standard horror. The director of Jeepers Creepers is the true star of the film. You can tell he is an avid fan of the genre and knows exactly what buttons to push to scare the hell out of you. The last scene is pretty grizzly but one that will stick with you every time you mention the film hereafter. Overall, great direction and some scary moments add up to a worthy addition to any horror collection.

Summary: Warren P. Cheswick is Pumped!
Review: Movie Summary: Bother sister duo Trish and Darry are driving home from college when they are driven off the road and spooked by an unseen driver in an old beat up truck. They calm down and proceed down the road. As they pass an abandoned church, they see the old truck and a cloaked figure throwing a body-sized package down a large pipe. Darry is intrigued and makes them go back. A decision that he soon regrets as their relaxing country drive deteriorates into a nightmare of unimaginable horror.My Opinion: I liked JC and found it to be entertaining. Sure it has some plot holes and fits easily into the teen horror genre, but isn't that what you wanted if you are renting or buying this movie? I liked the brother sister twist. Usually you have the boyfriend girl friend thing going on. Here we have a stronger sibling bond. It makes for some different points of view and situations. I thought Justin Long did a great job. I like him on the Ed TV show and it was cool to see him here. Gina Philips was also pretty good and she wasn't bad to look at. The Creeper was a cool character. They gave him a reason for what he did. There is also a bit of subterfuge as to what the Creeper is really after. When we find out what he really is I was a bit disappointed, but I got over it. In the end I was entertained and glad I rented it. DVD Quality: Video: Widescreen Anamorphic 1.85:1 Sound: DD5.1 Extras: Multiple Making of featurettes, Deleted and Extended Scenes, Commentary, Trailer, Photo Gallery, Hidden Features Menus: They change when you click the correct option! What You Should Do: See this if you are a horror movie buff. It provides a few new twists on the classic teen horror movie. Remember that this is a teen horror movie and set your expectations accordingly. Don't see it thinking it is something else. Until next time, I'll BEATNGU Related Movies To Check Out: The Evil Dead Series, The ReAnimator movies, Final Destination

Summary: Looks like tense horror flick until falling apart at end
Review: Much of the way through this, I thought I was seeing one of my new favorite horror films. It was edge-of-your-seat excitement. I thought They hadn't made much of anything like this in years, and I was reminded of good old days of suspenseful horror. Too bad the ending was a real let down. In fact, I scarcely remember how it came out. Maybe it's best to watch and enjoy the main body of the film and then dream up your own ending. If you're at all imaginative, you'll come up with an improvement.

Summary: A new approach to Horror
Review: The opening scene alone is proberly more frightening than most horror movies are throughout . it features two kids driving back from college to spend there summer break with family but unfortunately they get a few suprises on the way when a mystery black truck appears and makes there journey a lot more than they bargained for .......this opening scene sets the pace of the movie throughout which never lets up and some cases had me jumping out of my seat if you want a good fright - look no further - just remember these words "Jeepers Creepers where did you get them peepers - you are about to find out?........

Summary: An ending
Review: Worthy of a better movie. In truth, it is the ending that salvages anything from this rather juvenile, campy piece. The ending is daring and perfect, hinted at by the DVD cover. Not worth watching more than once, and even once is barely worth it. This movie is not for the queasy, but it is in no way scary. It's cheesy.

Summary: Horrible Film...
Review: I normally love horror movies..good or bad I usually love them all. But this pile of garbage was crap from beginning to end. The first time you heard that song you knew what was coming there were no surprises whatsoever. with an abrupt and rather horrendous and predictable ending the film had little pay off for all its hype. Oh and for more joy why not check out the alternate ending on the DVD. which isn't any better then the original (in fact for those people that don't like the bad guy winning type endings may find it even more depressing. Is that both bro and sis in that scene on the wall?). Try and aviod this film at all Cost, worst Horror film ever made.

Summary: Almost made it
Review: I must admit the first hour of this movie scared me to death. After that it seems as though the writers and producers became uninterested and just wanted to get it over with. It became too Sci-Fi channel and not enough good old horror. A horror movie should stay true and not switch gears which this movie did absolutely terribly. It's almost as if they had 2 separate ideas for 2 separate movies but only enough money for one.

Summary: A step above most of its kind.
Review: There are many movies like this but most don't quite reach the level of Jeepers Creepers. Nightmare On Elm Street, Silence Of The Lambs, Creature From The Black Lagoon and even Aliens are inspirations for this fine horror outing. That's not to say that it is better than all of those. But you'll be reminded of these and other similar good horror movies such as Pumpkinhead. Excellent acting (Gina is a honey!), writing, special effects and visually striking overall. I was on the edge of my seat through most of it. Unless you are only into hardcore or if you are somewhat squeemish you'll find a lot to like. If there are any weaknesses it can be blamed on budget limitations. The filmmakers should be happy with the final results (the commentary supports that). Very spooky. Love the unpredictable ending (commentary mentions some viewers disappointment with the ending...not me). Most moviemakers would have ended it differently. I'm really hoping for Jeepers Creepers 2. There are some ideas that are not fully explored; again, because of budget constaints. I'd like a bit more humor (like Nightmare on Elm Street) but it was a smart move to keep the Creeper demon silent and mostly humorless. Freddie he ain't. And that's a good thing. Another strength is the main characters are brother-sister and not boyfriend-girlfriend. Watch and you'll discover way this works so well. What I don't understand is why this isn't done more. I rented mine but will probably buy it here when the price drops (perfect for my month long October horror movie marathon). The DVD picture and sound are both excellent. It's a doublesided disc with movie on one side and lots of extras on the other. It has a nice selection of deleted scenes. Dig that alternate ending! Not to give anything away, but in that final shot I would've liked to see him perched instead of sitting on a stool. It begs the question Is He A Demon Or Something From This World? He looks a little too much like Freddie Kruger at times. But with that axe he has a reaper-thing going. To give credit where credit is due, there is a terrific scene near the end against a window that really establishes this as a demon removed from the others. I'll just say "face wings". Also, the commentary mentions that it "steals clothes from it's victoms over the years". Very eery stuff. Don't pass over the documentary (done just for the dvd) it's very good; showing all the production steps. Future movie makers should use this as a reference. Favorite scene: Creeper on top of the patrol car.
Favorite line: "What have you brought to my house?"

Summary: Creepers Delivers!
Review: This is one of the best horror movies I have seen in recent years! Now that Carpenter seems to have lost his touch and Barker his nerve, Salva emerges as a true talent in the genre. I was on the edge of my seat and scared the whole way through as I anxiously awaited to see what was going to happen to our protagonists next. Ignore the negative reviews if you are a true lover of monster movies (old school Universal monsters and Sat. afternoon Creature Features) and run right out and rent or purchase this. The DVD is chock full of extras and well worth the purchase.
