Summary: Proof (As If We Needed It) That Movies Need Good Writers
Review: Obviously a low-budget film, Jeepers Creepers actually ends so suddenly that you get the feeling they must have run out of cash. Rather than the traditional story structure of beginning middle and end, writer-director Victor Salva seems to make do with the first two-thirds of that formula to craft allegedly "the best US horror film in the last ten years". Not that Salva is a bad director. The first 30 minutes of this unassuming horror film is actually great stuff, which leaves me wondering if the original idea was for a 30 minute short piece which would have worked beautifully. Salva is not a hack, and his camera set-ups (lots of low angle shots during the car chases, some superb high-angle ones of the very atmospheric church, the movement of the camera between the car of the central characters and a following police car during conversation) suggest great potential. But the film falls down quite horribly once Salva tries to explain the weird goings-on in his first act. The whole thing lacks any sense of internal logic for all the reasons stated in the other reviews on this site. You can wheel on a psychic to explain your back story as long as that back story makes sense & is leading somewhere. Blathering on a bit about every 23 Springs and foretelling the end of the film just so that you can end on a gag that justifies the title of the movie is not a good excuse. If only Salva had used a better writer to iron out these mistakes and put in a more satisfctory climax this could have approached classic status. It's actually not difficult for Jeepers Creepers to be "the best US horror movie for the last ten years" because there hasn't been a lot for it to compete with. Go back 20 years and you'll find that ReAnimator, Evil Dead and the original Elm Street can still wipe the floor with this little horror pic. Nevertheless I'll be interested to see what Victor Salva comes up with next.

Summary: THE SCARIEST FILM OF THE YEAR! WHO WANTS A SEQUEL? I DO!!
Review: With its scary theme tune, monster villian and the two stupid leads characters , even before the film starts you know you are in for one hellishly scary film! IGNORE NEGATIVE REVIEWS...CONCENTRATE ON THE POSITIVE REVIEWS!!!!!!!!! Our two siblings Trish [GINA PHILIPS] and Darry [JUSTIN LONG] are on the way home from one of the worst road trips of their life! Boared out of their lives, they play a game to spot out hidden messages in cars license plates and on one spooky vehicle, the license plate reads ''BEATINGU'' [get it?!?!]. After they are almost run off the road by this ''maniac'', they spot ''the creeper'' dumping what looks like a body down a a sewage pipe! And in time hounored fashion, they go back to the abonded church where the body was placed. After one head trip of a thrill in the titular church, they head back to town yet the creeper is hungry and is peckish for a certain ''snack'' from one of the clueless teens.... It is obvious that director VICTOR SALVA would like a JEEPERS CREEPERS 2 and so will the blood hungary teens who were taught the slasher survival skills from SCREAM 1,2 AND 3. There are understated performances from our Trish and Darry.There are cheap looking effects straight from B movie hell yet there is still fun to be had from this movie which is not your average SCREAM clone. Watch out for the shocking,horrible and satircal ending!! It catches you unawares just like the creeper!

Summary: Jeepers Creepers, Where'd you get the Idea for this ...!?!?
Review: Let's just say that I jumped at the very begining and for me to do that, wow, it's a beautiful thing. This movie could have been so good. It started out calm and mellow then BAMM out of no where loud noisy car screchs, screams, and jumpable footage. But after I learned that our main characted, WHO IS A GUY, has a Rose tatooed around his belly button, CAN WE GET ANY LAMMER!?, I began to loose faith. The creature was rather cool in the begining. We don't see it until the middle of the movie. This is the Technique that was so perfectly used by Ridley Scott in Alien. THAT IS A TRUE MODERN HORROR FILM! Then when we finaly see the monster we see a lot of familurarities of past horror creatures. Classic Bat wings, a grey, leathery body. Then it does something. It what, Makes a really loud obnoctious noise and then these Spices pop off it's face and create this webbed hat thing that looks like and inverted Tricerotops's frill. And in the end. Our main Character so creativly named Jilly or something like that I FOUND THIS FITTIN BECAUSE HE HAS A GIRL'S NAME AND A ROSE TATOOED ON HIS STOMACH Get's offed and all we see is his face which still has perfect for except for the fact that his eyes are missing and our creature stands up behind him and it's eyes meet perfectly with Jilly's and we see his bright brand new eyes he just ate. BTW. He has to eat the body part in order for it to replace his. Plot wasn't all to bad but this movie could have been so much better than what it was. Honestly the Trailor made me more afraid to walk to the bathroom at night than the actual movie. Don't waist your hard earned money on this Hollywood Flop.

Summary: A Refreshing Modern Horror Flick With Infuriating Flaws
Review: This movie has to be the most infuriating films in existence. I went in not expecting much...just a boring but hopefully enjoyably bad horror flick. However, as the first half of the film unravels you realise two things.... 1. this guys seen far too much texas chainsaw massacre and has decided to rip off huge chunks of it mood, story, and enviroment.
2. you have to forgive him cause he's somehow managing to do it all in an equally frightening and yet enjoyable way that doesn't seem to be able to do wrong. and is actually far scarier than texas chainsaw.... you see...in the first half of the movie we have a gradual build up of events...but no too gradual and not too slow. we have genuinely scary as hell moments that almost make you want to turn away from the screen in disgust/terror...but not over the top or overtly disgusting. we have two kids out in the middle of nowhere with a figure hunting them down. but it's all well handled and extremely effective as the writer/director manages to pile on suprise after suprise. the seen with the killer on the roof of the police car has to be seen to be believed! however...then comes the second reel of the film, and without giving anything away (let's just say that if i explain what the killer is then the first half probably won't seem scary anymore) we end up with an increasingly cheesy movie that looks akin to a stephen king tv movie. yep..bits are that bad.
the ideas are still there and some of them are quite superb. even the final explanation of the killer and why everythings happenning manages to almost be a fairly haunting idea. but the fact is it show too much and with the modest budget it has-it just cant handle the second reel. hell, even with a larger budget they simply should of stayed with the way the story is originally going and built upon it. i've tried not to sound too harsh here as this really is (in its greater moments) one of the finest horror movies i've seen in a long long long time. and if nothing else its a wonderfully refreshing change from the post-modern humour driven adventures of the scream type films. nothing against them or anyhting, but we need to get back to some of the roots of horror films, and remember that not all killers stalk babysitters in the suburbs. if you like jeepers creepers then you must of course see the texas chainsaw massacre. and even duel. and just as i have an excuse to do it..go watch the original evil dead again...to remember how its all done right.

Summary: Annoying and predictable
Review: [...]P>I got to see this for free, and I still wanted my money back plus restitution for wasting my time. The creature was not at all scary, it looked mostly like someone had raided "the Creature From the Black Lagoon" make-up trailer. The story is so un-amazingly clich`e. About a brother & sister driving home from college on spring break. (The actors were poorly selected to play siblings, because there was some obvious sexual chemistry going on.) They get run off the road by a big scary black truck with a big horn. They see the driver dumping a body down a sewer up the road. The brother decides to investigate and climb down a dirty rat infested pipe--c'mon who would really do this? He sees some horrifying things at the bottom of the pipe & the brother & sister go to a town full of braindead rubes and get stalked by a crazy psychic--who just happens to know the number of the payphone and the exact time they are standing in front of it. Some more chasing and bloody killings by the creature until a big shootout at the end...the creature gets away so that there's a possibility for a sequel--which I hope will never ever happen. [...]

Summary: Jeepers Creepers this movie gave me the Creeps!
Review: I suppose that a lot of people going to the movies today have grown up on such tripe as Scary Movie, the Friday the 13th series and other crappy horror films. I suppose these same people expect that every little detail of a film must be explained on an adolescent's level, so as not to confuse them while they watch the films with their eyes as their mouths cannot keep from running while in the theatre. It's a funny thing - sound when added to a film allowed for certain nuances of the theatre to be present, so that the visual didn't have to do all the work. So to those who would call this film bad, I say: turn off your cell phone, stop talking to your buddies, and pay attention to the movie. Jeepers Creepers isn't the finest horror film ever made, but it certainly is one that can scare the bejesus out of you. Certainly there are very standard plot devices in action here - but isn't that part of the formula for a horror film? ... Jeepers starts off using bits and pieces of known scare tactics and then milks them with a wink and a nudge. Should the lead characters go back and see whats up at that creepy looking house where the even creepier looking guy was ....? Of course not! The characters even acknowledge this fact. However, pulled by the same force that requires everyone passing an accident to rubberneck, they do. (And let's face it - if they didn't - the movie wouldn't have been made).
At once scary, silly, laughable, and immensely frustrating, Jeepers Creepers shows us a new (albeit traditional and truly old hat) villain: a monster! .
Just what this monster wants is never fully explained as the film truly frustrates us by setting itself up for an obvious sequel (which I truly hope gets made).
The film features fine actors performing honestly and well. Eileen Brennan appears in an extended cameo that is quite unforgettable. The script is good, the cinematography is quite well done.
When you get up from a horror film, you are hopefully intelligent enough to know that the action on the screen is not possible in the real world. You have just been treated to little fright akin to a ride on a good roller coaster. If the movie made you jump, squirm, turn from the screen, or possibly yelp, then its done its job.
Jeepers Creepers does far more than that. This is a good film that delivers on the scares and leaves you wanting more.
Check it out!

Summary: Jeepers almost creepy!
Review: Being someone who is quite cynical about 'scary' movies, I actually enjoyed this one. I'm not saying I'm not a fan of this sort of film, quite the opposite in fact, it's just that more often than not, after the hype and two or three 'talked about' scenes ( which are usually in the trailer ) they tend to fall back into cliched acting with thin pointless and obvious storylines. Jeepers Creepers however, lends itself in part to the more traditional horror picture with an eery feel from the off, first brought to us by films such as 'Ammytiville' and 'Texas chainsaw massacre'. It think it benifits hugely from the stars being unkown, they bring a fresh innocence to precedings and the fear throughout is very genuine and believable. Without giving too much away the plot is thus; brother and sister on there way home for the holidays and get mixed up with mysterious demon who terrorises them. There is a feel of 'Duel meets T.C.M' to the film but with a more spiritual sureal slant. I very much enjoyed the idea of the 'monster' being unreckonisable in the shadow's ( Halloween like ) and was a bit let down when you saw him up close - clearly a man in a suit, it took the edge off it slightly. Apart from that and a couple of 'I knew that was going to happen bits' not a bad film at all. Worth a look, and it may even make you jump!
