Summary: The first part was good...but then it lost track....
Review: I love horror movies. I really do. So, since "Jeepers Creepers" was a horror movie-yep, you guessed it-I rented it. The movie was going along fine-mighty fine. It had its moments of scare-but nothing, nothing like "The Exorcist" (This movie scares the heck out of me, even at my age!). The worst came at the end of the movie...all I could say about it is...STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID and a thousand times STUPID! I really, I really hope the ending was made like this because there is going to be a sequel.. I mean-what's the point of an ending like that if you don't make a sequel? Another bad thing about the movie are two items: Who is "The Creeper"? Where did he come from? WHAT he is? Why does he kill every 23 years? What's the song have to do with him? If he's some type of animal-how can he whistle? Who really is Jezelle Gay Hartman? There were a lot of questions that unanswered at the end of the movie-and that's another reason the movie [was bad]. Well-unless there's a sequel to it-I would probably change my mind about "Jeepers Creepers"-so, we're just gonna have to wait and see what Hollywood has in store.

Summary: Scary -- NO. Irritating -- YES
Review: There is a method of shooting horror films where certain elements are masked in the shadows and what you don't see can be more terrifying that what you do--this movie didn't use this technique. I guess the director thought this movie would be even scarier if you couldn't see anything at all. An innovative solution, but I think it came up a little short.Truly good movies have another element called pacing. That's where the pace of the movie slows down to deliver character and plot information, then speeds up to send you racing through action sequences. So at the end of the movie you feel well informed and entertained. They elected not to do this in this movie as well. It starts off nice and slow with the main characters establishing themselves, that drags on a bit too long, and then they inexplicably reversed the equation with the action sequences being painfully slow, and rushing through any informative scenes. So at the end of the movie if felt uninformed and irritated. Foreshadowing is another method good stories use to make you anticipate what is going to happen later in the movie without giving it away, so once it is revealed everything clicks into place and you have all the satisfaction of seeing the last piece of the puzzle fit into place and you really knew what it was the whole time, but couldn't quite put your finger on it. The title of this movie contains such a device, although it was utilized with all the finesse and understanding of a junior-highschool remedial english student. They attempted to use it in two different methods (both of which are valid) each of which undermined the other, and either one on its own would still be considered half-baked. I could go on and on, but I've already wasted more time than I care to on this wasteland of a movie. Was there even a script? It just seems like they were shooting by the seat-of -there-pants. As each scene drags on I can practically hear Ed Wood barking directions from off-camera. The thing that really makes me lose sleep over this sad excuse for a movie is that Francis Ford Coppola actually put his name on it--he has a producer credit. I just can't even begin to understand. The horror... The horror...

Summary: Is That It?
Review: Before I start, let me say I'm a serious fan of horror films. Good horror films. I had heard so many good things that I finally broke down and checked this "film" out. Apparently the rave reviews were all from people who also consider 'American Pie' to be a classic american comedy. The first 20 minutes or so of 'Jeepers Creepers' were intense and excellent. It created a mood very similar to Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Sadly, from there, it sank like a rock. A particularly heavy rock. Like so many other horror films it quickly degraded into an accidental comedy. I like a good monster movie, but this wasn't one of them. With about 30 minutes left the movie started to feel like it was being filmed without a scripted ending. As if they were "winging it". Terrible. Save your money.

Summary: Think you've seen the worst? Not 'til you've seen this!
Review: I have never in my life seen such an insipid, pointless, and utterly annoying piece of so-called "horror" as this poor excuse for a movie! I am big horror fan, always looking for a good horror movie to see, and this piece of film was the worst I've ever found. The scariest thing about this movie was that it brought in a single penny at the box office.
Watching the characters do the dumbest possible things scene after scene was annoying, and if I hadn't seen it in a theater with a lot of people making funny comments, I would have walked out. Aside from some grotesque imagery at various points in the movie, there was nothing scary in it. This attempt at horror will leave you not only unamused, but rather annoyed that you wasted an hour and a half or so of your life watching it.

Summary: All potential, no follow-through
Review: Oddly enough, this is the first DVD that I've listened to the commentary track after watching the movie. Not because it was such a great movie - it's not - but because I just HAD to know what in the world Salva was thinking. The first third is excellent, with actual character development between the siblings and the first "reveal" of the Creeper - in broad daylight! - is one of the most effective horror scenes ever. The rest of the movie is sloppy and extremely derivative - particularly the clumsy, vague and unnecessary backstory provided by the psychic - and Salva virtually admits this in his commentary. I loved his eschewing a happy ending but the execution left a bit to be desired. All in all, this could have been a winner but it's all potential, no follow-through. Can't believe they're working on a sequel!

Summary: Has no real plot line, but very disgusting
Review: Throughout the movie, you follow a brother and sister who are being chased by this creature. This creature is attacking everyone it wants, and these two sit there and watch, and when they want to escape, they escape by a hair.
The movie did have the disgusting scenes that are still in my mind, which make it difficult for me to sleep at night. It needs a better plot line, but the scare/disgusting factor is good.

Summary: doesn't even deserve 1 star
Review: This is the worst horror movie ever written..Victor Salva, find a new job!
I could rehash what the other reviewers said that hated this, but I will digress.
This is the stupidest movie in the creation of film. Don't waste your time like I did. The only person more stupid than the two main characters was me, for watching the entirity of it.
At least I got my money back from the video store as the dvd didn't work right.
TAKE NOTE: don't bother with this movie!!

Summary: jeepers creepers,what a waste of money!
Review: for a little while i was into this.bad guy/thing seemed very ornery.then this started to remind me of any of the 3 texas chainsaw massacre movies.overly long scenes meant to build suspense.but here,theres no payoff.true,this is a creepy movie,but so are those genetal herpies commercials flooding prime time.but im skipping ahead of myself.i was still open to the possibility of this movie scaring me.(im still waiting!)once i got a gander of the creeper jeeper,and how that creep comes to get victims when it hears that song(appropiately titled after the movie)that blows away the junk out now,it all just fell apart.it kind of resembled the creature from mimic.however,here theres no explaination.this gypsie chick babbled some pre-k reason for this thing but never really did much more.and i guess the money shot was the ending(which i had to rent this to find out because by then i was on 7th dream).if that was the money shot,i want my money back!!!!!!this makes me want to wait in line anxiously for that blockbuster friday 13th part.....what are they up to now?

Summary: Anger Squared
Review: I turned it off after twenty minutes. Then I thought it might get better and so I turned it back on. It didn't. It got worse. I thought the "Scream" movies would challenge new horror movies to be better. Unfortunately, this was not the case with this movie. The main characters would walk into the cage of a hungry lion. I am so angry I can kill the monster of the movie with just one hand!

Summary: Jeepers Creepers - Where do I get a refund?
Review: This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Not only was it not scary, funny or at all entertaining. What (very) little suspense this movie managed to muster up was wasted due to the fact that there was no ending.
