Jeepers Creepers

Summary: Horror film that is fun to watch.
Review: "Jeepers Creepers" is one of those films that starts off promising the audience that what they are going to see is a terrifying film.Well,that would have worked if the identity of the killer was never shown in magazines before the film came out and if the film didn't end to suddenly.Nevertheless,I enjoyed this film because it reminded me of one of those silly late night horror films I used to watch on television on a midnight Saturday.The story is as follows.Two college students,both brother and sister witness a mysterious looking man dump what they both believe to be bodies down a drain pipe.Of course the brother has to make sure they are bodies and against the wishes of his sister,they go back to make sure and they are right.That was a mistake on their part because these two kids are now stalked by the psycho who is later revealed as some batlike human creature.The makeup on the actor playing the creature is good,but why show what the creature looked like in magazines before the film came out.That spoils the surprise.The way this review is going,you would think that I would give it a rating of 2 stars,but I am giving it 3.I like these kind of films because they don't take themselves seriously and they are plain fun to watch.It's no the kind of film I would recommend to everyone,but for my personal taste,I thought it was a fun film,although I wouldn't exactly call it one of the best or worst horror films ever made.Like I said,It's a good time at the movies.

Summary: AWFUL
Review: OK-the first 10-15 minutes are pretty good, after that-walk out. Made no sense, about as scary and predictable as Blair Witch 2!?!? Every cliche in the book-shoulda been straight to video-if that. They don't make them like they used to.

Summary: Creepier than the title!
Review: Jeepers Creepers is the scariest movie since the excorcist! Though the title, and the ending don't match up with the middle plot. The movie avoids gore factor and sticks with the element of suprise and mystery. Unlike "Scream" or other recently released horror films, this one is actually scary!

There is a large element of cheesiness as well. The song "Jeepers Creepers" is a typical Tony Bennet and Frank Sinatra type used throughout a horror movie. Mixing the two is like orange juice and tuna fish. Also the ending, which I won't give away, ruins the fear factor of the entire movie, but it leaves a large gap for "Jeepers Creepers II."

I hope you enjoyed my review!

Summary: Worth seeing--it has its moments
Review: As a lover and connoisseur of horror movies, I had high hopes for this film (especially in light of the tremendously disappointing last few years we've seen in the genre). I was both impressed and disappointed. [VERY minor plot spoilers follow, so beware]

The acting is wonderful, particularly Gina Phillips in the role of Trish. The new faces are a welcome change. The scenes where Darry goes through the church, I think, were the freakiest and most gratifying of the whole movie. If you haven't seen it, you'll see what I mean. And I can say that I was genuinely apprehensive about that stupid beat-up truck--I kept watching for it to reappear on the road and jumped every time it did.

Now for the bad news...First of all, haven't we had enough of horror movies making references to horror movies? You know, the ones that say things like "If we were in a horror movie, then you'd be dead right after we have sex" (no, that particular one's not in this movie)? I think there were two lines in particular that made me groan. They offered nothing to the script except to rip me right out of the movie mindset, and should have been left on the cutting room floor.

Secondly, most good monster/demon/scary creature flicks either have a really, really, really scary monster (something original), or they just don't ever give you a good look at it. This one, unfortunately, doesn't do either. You see the thing, many times, and it's really not THAT freaky. It looks like something I would see getting it's butt kicked (very easily) by Buffy on Tuesday nights. I would have liked it better with a few glimpses and a whole lot of shadows and noises. But that's just me, the money-spending viewer.

The whole psychic-lady thing didn't work for me. I realize that there had to be somebody to reveal certain things about what the two main characters were up against, but it was all little too convenient and contrived for my taste.

Lastly, the ending--was that really necessary? I think they could have lopped off a big chunk of it and we all would have been happier. It all goes back to what I said before about the creature--sometimes the scariest things are the ones you DON'T see (I mean, come on! Why do you think the Blair Witch Project was so successful?).

Overall, I would recommend seeing this movie, but don't pay the full $8 or whatever. See the matinee or wait for video.

Summary: The Best Horror Film in Years
Review: I had been eagerly awaiting the release of Jeepers Creepers ever since I saw the preview before Final Fantasy. When the day finally came I was so excited, but had all my hopes built up impossible expectations? No. The first hour of the film is so perfectly crafted that the last thirty minutes have to be forgiven. The scares are plenty, the suspense is great, the score is creepy, the characters are funny, and the monster is mean. The final thirty minutes of the film are only a dissappointment because the rest of the film is so brilliant, it all winds down into a predictable finale, that comes way too soon, and isn't as creepy as the director must have invisioned it would be. It also explains things to the viewer which always takes away from the film in my opinion. If you like scary movies, watch Jeepers Creepers.

Summary: Not even safe in the daylight
Review: Its a normal beautiful day and Trish and Dari go through some of the most horrible things one can imagine. I don't want to give anything away because I went into the theater not knowing what this was about and thus, not having any expectations. I hope no sequels are made because the movie, the mystery and the pure horror of it cannot be repeated.

Summary: Finally, Something Different
Review: It's been a long while since a horror movie has came anywhere close to those back in the eighties. While Jeepers Creepers doesn't exactly remind you of those campy horror films from over a decade ago, it's a breath of fresh air and different than the recent "teen horror" slasher films we've seen in the past few years. And I must say, it's about time.

While driving home for college break, a brother and sister are tailgated by a psycho in a huge green truck. Later on, they come across the same truck parked beside an old abandoned church. They both see a mysterious figure dumping what seems to be several body bags down an old sewer pipe. A few moments later, the brother wants to go back to investigate, but the hesitant sister thinks it would be absolutely absurd to go back. After talking it over, and realizing that they could possibly save someone's life if they happened to be still alive, they decide to go back.

What they then find is something horrendus. Soon they find out, that this madman knows that they've found his burial place. And it will stop at nothing to get what it wants. The thing itself, isn't even human. It's something far more evil and demonic. It's a monster. A monster that looks like a cross between Freddy Kreguer gone bad and the Lephrechaun.

While the movie does fit some stereotypical cliches, what horror film doesn't? At least it's not another masked human figure stalking a bunch of helpless teens with an absurd motive. While the motive for this creature in Jeepers Creepers is mentioned, far more of it is left to the mind and remains mysterious. The acting in the film is quite good. The film itself isn't really scary, but it is very creepy and there's plenty of gore for everyone. I think horror fans should give this a try. Even if you don't like it, it's sure to be a change from the recent horror films you've seen.

Summary: Trash
Review: I continue to be amazed how many disgusting ways in which the movie industry can find to kill or mutilate and all of the creatures that they can find to do it in the name of entertainment. This one is right up there with Last House on the Left. That was the last movie I saw where I wanted to walk out. I made myself sit there but this time, I walked out after 25 minutes. I walked out hearing people laugh as a creature was doing something totally disgusting. I wonder about our future!

Summary: Return to true horror
Review: Jeepers Creepers is a return to the basics of the horror genre. It doesn't try to be hip or appeal to the teeny bopper crowd. It doesn't feature a soundtrack from the Top 40 and pretty actors that are popular among teens today. For those who grew up with Jason, Leatherface, and Freddy this movie is a blessing. A movie for true horror fans.

Summary: It first look a good horriable movie, but not real
Review: The beginning of the movie was almost get me bored as I almost want to stand up and see other movies. However, I still finish up seeing the whole part. I admire some of the cgi part and really great music as still can threaten me when it suddenly play a loud noise. How usual!! However, the whole movie seem very ridiculous as how could a teenager so curious to check out something that already look so scared, maybe it is movie, it should just go to the police station and have them worked it out. No, but that's how the movie start. And it really took almost fifteen minutes I guess just listening to both the brother and sister talking. Would that too long just to get knowing the characters? After church event, it really start some good playing, kill the cops and the visit of the old woman house, really freak me out. At the end, it give me some connect I thought would that be end up like Resident evil game, the brother and sister find some super weapons and kill that thing at the police station. Ha, just imagine, not actually it doesn't end up like that. And that thing what like to collect human parts didn't die, and I really like to see if they make the screen how his brother skin cut out, is that what the horrible movie supposed to film. So, I give it 3 stars since the plot kind of simple but still have freaking sound, screens, some special effects.
