Summary: The worst US horror movie of the last 10 years.
Review: This is simply the worst film I have ever seen. Do yourselves a favor and don't even think about watching it, let alone buying it. The entire film is pointless and doesn't make any sense. When I watched it in the theatre people were laughing, and began talking half way through because it was so pathetic.

Summary: So much wasted potential......
Review: The first, say, 90% of this movie was a chilling return to form for the horror genre, focusing on character development, and straying from the Scream formula as much as possible.
So you've got a truly scary monster, very talented actors, and some great scenes. So why the two star rating? Plot. I found myself watching this movie, waiting to find out what this thing is, where it came from, and how it came to live in some hole in the ground in the middle of nowhere. The movie never cares to explain any of those things!
These plot problems really shot my enjoyment of this movie. The worst part is the potential displayed in the first part of the movie, is completely shattered in under two minutes.

Summary: Brave Horror Film
Review: With the amount of horrendously cheap horror films being spewed out by studios, it's very refreshing to see a horror film with such a brave attitude. I have noticed an extreme lack of heart put into horror films over the past while but this film brings back hope, Victor Salva used his heart to make this film. He uses old cliches but doesn't exploit them as much as the new teeny bopper horror films. Furthermore, he uses an excellent amount of tragedy (not too much, not too little) by the end of the film, I really felt for these siblings. Most reviewers pick at a couple of things such as; the old women with the cats, the psychic and the lack of carnage in the police station. I loved every one of these elements, to me, they added a richness to the film instead of bringing it down. The ending is now one of my favs from any horror film, it's shocking, darring, and intelligent. The cinematography is also exquisite. This is a horror movie with a punch, it does have gore but it's not over-used (beheading, amputations, ripped out heart, ect.).<...

Summary: A good film if your not looking for a strong story
Review: This film was very medioka. It made me jump in a lot of places and the plot was scary to begin with. However I felt the demon was a bit silly and it turned out to be like the x files. The actors played their parts well, but the plot line was very predictable and did not leave mush to the imagination. The first thiry minutes were by far the best, so enjoy them!

Summary: Best film of the year!
Review: "Jeepers Creepers" is an excellent, cleaver, and very scary film.
I've seen it 6 times and I loved it everytime. I really liked Justin Long and Gina Philips, they do a very "believable" job as bickering brother and sister. This is the first film by Victor Salva that I have seen and I think he did a very good job at directing "Jeepers Creepers", and the way he used "Jeepers Creepers" by Paul Whiteman and his Swing Wing is very creepy. "Jeepers Creepers" has all the ingredients of a horror film, it has a creepy score, people make life-threatening
mistakes, and most of all, it has good-old-fashioned scares. I don't get why people don't like this film, I mean people have that right, but I don't understand why they didn't like it. Like for example, the reviewer (I won't any names) who wanted to know what the point of the film was, films don't usually have a point, all they are are tools we use to escape from reality, to get away from all the troubles of the world and in the case of horror movies, it's so we can get a few scares and then go back to life. He also wanted to know why they showed the bodies sewn together? I think they did it to show what the creeper's hobies may have been, even if it was as sick as sewing dead bodies together.
"Jeepers Creepers" is good for a few scares, and (in my opinion) the best film of the year so far. I jumped at about 4 different scenes, and you probably will too. Also, if you see this film, what til' all of the credits finish, and you will see an extra scene.

Summary: Basement Wallpaper
Review: The first 45 minutes of Jeepers Creepers where pretty good, when all of a sudden the imaginary floor beneath it fell through. One of the biggest problems was the monster, not necessarily it's appearance physically, but it's appearance at all. Movie maker's of films such as "Jurassic Park" and "The Relic" did themselves and the audience a favor by not revealing the villain's appearance too early, that way the viewers imagination would be far worse than anything found in the creature shop. One of the coolest character's on screen comes to mind: Predator. The greatest extent of the case being "Blair Witch Project", in which the villain isn't seen at all! Only its effect's. I do like how the creature shows an even nastier side before going out the window. That was fairly creepy! When it's in the shadow's and wearing the "Raiden" hat, it appears more hostile.
The story is fine. It start's out like Steven Spielberg's "Duel", as the kids are chased down an empty highway by a menacing, rusty, armored, souped-up, truck. Then quickly, after the most important discovery in the film, the rest of the plot flies around like an un-tied balloon. Another problem is there are many, many question's never answered. That's where the headache factor comes in. But, after watching it a second time, I did catch details I had first overlooked and it made more sense. I liked how the ending doesn't completely rely on Hollywood's normal scheme. If you see it, try and tell me that the menacing truck isn't more effective than the monster (at times). Also, how did the monster get his personalized plate? As there will undoubtably be a sequel, I hope fall's back on the material found early in the first film. I liked the movie, and recommend it, even with its faults. Better than your average modern scare flick!

Summary: Halloween treat for 2001
Review: This was a surprisingly good movie. I went in with good expectations and came out feeling good about what I saw. This movie WILL creep you out. The first 15 minutes are classic. This movie does indeed get under your skin, as many other reviewers have put it, and you'll find that its hard to get it off of your mind. Really. It's true. You won't be able to get it off your mind, unless your an idiot like me and you go to a midnight showing right before you go home and go to bed. Lol. I had that song in my head the entire night. I am normally not like that with horror movies, but for some reasons, certain scenes from this movie just would not leave me--the scene inside the Creeper's cave for example, and esp. the abrupt, freaky ending. Recommended!

Summary: And the point was?!?
Review: After having a friend rave about how scary this film was, a group of about ten of trooped down to the local multi-plex. The only thing scary was how quickly we wasted $7. Hey, I will give you that the first 15-20 minutes of the film is great. There is a nice attempt to set the mood and get you interested. Then... well, I am not sure what happened. All the interest and scariness get destroyed by stupid, predictible plot twists. They have even thrown in the vaugue, overweight psychic for good measure. Why would the killer need an ax when he can obviously just tear victims to pieces? Why do they bother to show us bodies that have been sewn back togther. Why is the song "Jeepers Creepers" mentioned as an omen of approaching doom and then only used once? And why would a winged demon need to drive a truck (which is so important in the first part of the movie). I love horror movies, and I long for the day when Hollywood learns to make a good one. They made good ones in the late 60's and the 70's/early 80's. The great horror directors (Romero, Hooper, Carpenter, etc.) have laid out the blueprints... all that needs to be done is follow them. Hopefully some day soon someone will do that and we can say goodbye to mindless, schlock-filled crap like JEEPERS CREEPERS.
