Summary: Jeeper Creepers
Review: I absolutely loved this movie. More original than I thought it would be. The first hour, or so, simply scared ..me. I have to admit though, the monster was a little dissapointing, ONLY AT FIRST, then I realized the cleverness behind the story. I watched the movie a second time the next night and even liked it more the second time.

Summary: HOW (!!!????) Did a Demon get a Personalized License Plate?
Review: let alone learn how to drive? That is whatI wnat to know.....somehow don't think this character would be that inconspicuous at the local DMV. This movie really makes no sense. As many other reviewers have stated, there were such possiblilities available during the first oooooo 10 minutes or so of the movie but they were quickly blown by bad writing, bad acting, and nonsensical plot twists that just left me alternatively shaking my head and balancing my checkbook (NOW that's scary!) Dull, stupid, and a non-ending which is blatantly left open for a sequel --- which for obvious reasons would only be hghlighting Gina Philips lack of talent; reason enough to avoid JC II. Avoid this movie!

Summary: "EYES got you under my skin.............."
Review: Well, that sorta makes sense!For me this is a {hopefully} unconscious tribute to the French movie "Eyes without a Face" - just substitute the crazed plastic surgeon for our demonic friend, stepping lightly behind Clive Barker. Yep, it's kind of THAT territory complete with bickering siblings who like Miss Red Riding Hood take a shortcut to Hellville, and meeting quite a few Grandmamas and, err other Things along the way. Victor Salva who previously brought us "Powder" seems to have a penchant for the downtrodden and the abused - this is an interesting talent worth watching! Expertly lit, acted [well, the kids do do justice to the script!], and directed, we see just enough of our demonic friend, who just might be a long lost close cousin of the original "Thing", except this babe [now, IS male or female?????] seems to have a heart - or a few hearts, err lungs, and other things humans need. Not, too long either - just right for a few muffled screams! Double bill it with "Eyes Without a Face" - nice!

Summary: Great horror flick
Review: Jeepers Creepers is definitely a very creepy film. The movie tells the story of a brother and sister driving through the farmlands when they encounter a road rage maniac who is later witnessed dumping a body into a drainage pipe. From that point on, its a chase to the end. This movie is full of frights as well as characters you care about. From the scene at the church to the ending at the police station, it keeps you glued to the screen. Of course, there is the typical horror movie mistakes all characters make such as going back to investigate the body but hey, this is horror. People in horror films do crazy stuff like that. I don't honestly think a supernatural horror film can ever be completely believable but that doesn't detract from the enjoyment of them. Jeepers Creepers is a film that defies the usual cliche of everything turning out good in the end. Its a frightening suspenseful ride all the way to the conclusion. I loved it and I'm a big horror fan.

Summary: SOMETIMES THE BAD GUYS WIN
Review: I've been reading alot of these reviews and it seems that alot of people did'nt like the ending. Well boohoo, the bad guy one. This was one of the most gutsy endings i've seen in along time. If you want a happy ending rent When harry met sally,otherwise SHUT UP. Of course these kids are dumb for going back and looking down the pipe. And of course there dumb for going into the pipe. If they did'nt, there would be no movie. Yes they should of just driven home but I dont want to see a movie about two kids just driving home to see there unhappy mom. Salva has pieced together a wonderful and haunting movie. It's been along time since there's been a film that just creeped me out. Maybe not since John Carpenter's Halloween. The camera angles and the score are just awesome. Salva knows how to keep the audience's attention. I think the people that didnt like this movie were the one's that just loved star wars episode one. OOOOH, now i'm getting nasty. I'm not saying this is the best horror movie of all time. I just think people are being too critical on a better than average horror movie. RELAX,dont do it. Im out.

Summary: Pretty damn scary.
Review: This was one of the best films I have seen in ages. It isn't the standard slasher film that so often fills up the Horror genre.
It is extremly spooky and suspensful in places. It can invoke the same kind of feelings of watching a horror film as a kid. This film is all about sitting around with your friends, turning the lights down and saying " Don't go into the room."
it was alot of fun and apart from a couple of cheesy events I enjoyed it alot.

Summary: A great start but a pitiful finish.
Review: All the reviews I read about this movie talked about the "incredible beginning" and the "fresh take on the genre." Sadly, this movie was a major disappointment. Yes, the movie seemed from the start to be worth the time. Fifteen minutes into it, though, the whole room of us watching started our catcalls to the screen. "What the heck?" "Oh, that is SO stupid." "Oh man, that is pathetic." And it only got worse from there. Despite some truly startling moments, the movie itself descends into silly and laugh out loud scenes. By the end - yes, we forced ourselves to watch it all - we were all checking the bottom of the screen to see if the guys from Mystery Science Theater were watching with us. After an hour and a half of silly, you won't care what happens to anyone in the film.

Summary: Surprising and engaging- shines above usual garbage...
Review: With very low expectations I rented this film recently, and was pleasantly surprised by its maturity and suspense. Granted, 'Jeepers Creepers' shouldn't be considered a 'classic'- but its genuine inspirations come from wonderfully subversive and eclectic sources, such as "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", "Duel" and "The Hitcher". Effective camerawork, scoring, editing and pacing escalate this thriller above the usual garbage- and it was so refreshing to see a film NOT rely on sanitary CGI effects for its shocks. Overall a good Saturday matinee film, the kind of which we haven't seen since the early 80s.

Summary: 'Jeepers Creepers', look at these reviews!
Review: This poor film needs some better reviews; people are beginning to label it senseless teen fodder, much in the vein of 'Scream' and the like. They couldn't be farther than the truth...trust me; I know my horror! All I ask is to rent it and find out for yourself!

Summary: Haven't we traveled this road before?
Review: While "Jeepers Creepers" is obviously in the hands of a skilled writer/director (Victor Salva), one can't help but feel an odd sense of deja vu when watching the film play out. The set up, or the film's first 30 minutes, is terrific. The resolution however, is typical. It's odd this film would have received such glowing reviews from the nation's critics, though one suspects the presence of Francis Ford Coppola's Zoetrope Studios to be a factor. "If they made it, then it has to be good!" It's really not. Two siblings returning home from college decide to take a detour down a lonely country highway. We know this wisecracking pair, a brother and sister, are going to encounter horror, since this is a horror film. But the way they encounter the horror, in the form of an ominous demon with a taste for human flesh, is always suspenseful and surprising. From church basements to rooms littered with dead bodies, this unlucky pair is in for a nightmare of terrifying proportions. Unfortunately for the viewer, the nightmare is far too reminiscent of "Friday the 13th," "Nightmare on Elm Street" and, most noticeably, "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre." And don't forget to throw in "Duel" for good measure, as this demon prefers a juiced up truck bearing what seems to be one heck of a loud fog horn. While the kids in this film undoubtedly make some of the stupidest mistakes in the history of horror films (returning to scenes of crimes, observing crimes rather than running), I was never really distracted by this. I also appreciated the fact that beautiful young woman were never the victims in this film. In "Jeepers Creepers," men seemed to be suffering far grislier fates. What bothered me was an especially abrupt ending at the police station, a lack of explanation for why this demon was scooping up victims off the highways of Florida and the overall geekiness of Justin Long as the brother (though I think this was intentional). In fact, Mr. Long irritated me so much that the creepy conclusion amused me more than anything else. I thought Gina Philips as the sister was terrific and hope to see her again in the sequel, or perhaps a better film. Her performance was natural and commanding. It was perhaps the best aspect of "Jeepers Creepers." As for the demon, well, been there done that. It certainly is not something I would want to meet in a dark alley (or on a lonely highway), but one can't help but wonder if this is yet another attempt by moviemakers to produce a title monster followed by an endless line of bad sequels.
