Jeepers Creepers

Summary: Good solid scares.
Review: I must admit when I first heard of this movie I thought with a name like that it can't be scary it sounds like an old "Scooby Doo" cartoon. I was wrong. I'm 34 yrs old and this movie scared the he-- outta me. This is one of the best scary movies you will ever see....If it's genuine thrills you want and jump out of your seat shocks AND great low key (they look really scared) performances along with a great coherent story,this is your movie. As my wife said to one of our friends, "Take someone to hide behind!" You'll need it! This movie is that scary.

Summary: Creepy and good
Review: I saw this movie today and I thought it was very very good. It was very disturbing and scary and it was the kind of film that would give you nightmares. The movie had a great look (the "middle of nowhere in heartland America look" that was made popular in great horror classics like Night of the living dead,) that made it very creepy. The movie also had believable characters and intelligent dialogue and good acting. The monster is not very scary looking but he is terrifying because he does horrible unspeakably gruesome things to his victims. (The things he does to his victims would freak Hannibal Lecter out.) I think he is the scariest horror villain that I have seen in years and he reminds me of the old classic american Urban legend boogeyman stories. I also enjoyed how some things were left unexplained and I enjoyed the unhappy ending that didn't follow the popular monster movie genre. (I won't give anything away but I will say that things don't end well for one of the heroes and the monster doesn't even come close to being destroyed.) I also enjoyed the old creepy 1940's (or 1950's, I'm not sure,) music that was used. (Jeepers Creepers and another old song about the boogeyman.) This film will disturb and horrify you if you see it. You will LOVE this movie if you watch horror movies to be disturbed and frightened.

Summary: Scary
Review: I have seen a lot of "scary" movies and they are not scary. This movie came closer than most. It made my wife scream and jump several times, along with everyone around me. It was well done and I will buy it when it comes out. It was very good.

Summary: This Creeper crawls
Review: This unknown, unexpected, underdog fright flick looked like something in the wake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Duel, and many of the monster movies of the 70's and 80's. The plot takes place in the vast mid-west where brother and sister, Darry and Trish, are going across the country to see their parents. Along the way they stumble upon a monster's wrath who comes out of hiding every 23d spring for 23 days to consume different parts of human beings which will restore that various part of his body consumed. For the most part though he acts human, disguising himself in an eerie old trenchcoat and farmer hat. In fact most of the stuff he has indicates the last time he came out was probably the 1930's. He's also a bit of a oldies fan, listening to the song Jeepers Creepers gives him some insentive on what to eat next. And although most of the movie was very scary and the monster was one of the best villians, it was not enough to fix the problem. The plot's body of work had so many chunks torn out of it that it was unmendable; even with the Creeper's rusty metal sutures. Although they establish that he most likely killed people for the stuff he has back in the 30's, they simply do not establish where he came from or what he is. And that would be acceptable if they didn't have a terrible ending. Why is it terrible you ask? Because there is no resolution. You would expect an exciting ending with gunshots from the many cops at the small town police station and the creature killing and eating them left and right. I also thought he'd be weilding that axe in his hat and coat disguise far more, because it looked just awesome... But it simply isn't that way. And after the initial shocking twist it simply ends. Having no triumph over evil (which makes horror what it is) it simply ends with an unsatisfying conclusion. Apparantly the crew went broke during the filming or something like that, because the ending ruined a movie that had alot of potential.

Summary: WOW!
Review: Creators of lame horror films beware!! I have just heard your death knell sound. This movie is an all-out terrifying ride that pulls no punches whatsoever. Director Silva deserves kudos for creating a movie that will definitely scare you and get under your skin. No goofy one-liners. No celebrity guest stars who couldn't act if they had an instruction manual. No soundtrack full of hip songs by bands du jour. No, none of that...just a solid tale of terror and the unknown skillfully put together and performed. Fans of the current teen horror films beware! With movies like this being released, they are starting to look more and more like what they really are; crass marketing ploys aimed at sucking all of the cash from your pockets and killing your brain cells. True horror fans take heart! There is a light at the end of this black tunnel.

Summary: Jeepers Creepers
Review: This movie was really good! It was scary and suspenseful. It had a good storyline, most horror movies has a boyfriend and a girlfriend and they make out or have sex and then something bad happens, well in this movie it has a brother and sister. Its really good because its not a cliche and it proves that a movie can be good without sex! I really recommend this movie, its really good, just dont go by yourself! =)

Summary: Wanna Get Just Plain Scared? See JC!
Review: If you want to get just plain scared, go see "Jeepers Creepers". However, take someone with you to hold on to. It has the ingredients of classic horror flicks of the past and the sounds, scenes and expressions are a script for terror. I felt my skin crawl for the first hour and jumped out of it (my skin, that is) five times. It's been a long time since a film has had that effect on me...and I'm an avid horror flick fan. It has bits and pieces of "Cujo", "Pet Sematary", "Poltergeist" and a little-known low-budget classic "The Funhouse". I give the first hour FIVE stars. It drops to an overall rating of 4 as the horror dwindles and dwindles and dwindles. But you are so frightened from the outset, it keeps you on your seat till the end. Only two nagging points --- the sound of the failing transmission in Trish's Chevy...and Darryl's overused facial expressions of terror. Other than that...GO SEE IT! It'll give you the creeps...jeepers creepers, that is.

Summary: Surprising!
Review: This film is fun but unfortunately, not quite as terrifying as many of the reviewers may lead you to believe. It starts off in the same manner as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Night of the Living Dead: on a lonely stretch of road in the middle of nowhere. Being alone and vulnerable, the characters' (one significantlly better to look at than the other) first run-in with the Creeper is extremely creepy. This opening scene gives a whole new meaning to road rage. It is very realistic and draws you into the plight of the characters. However, after 30 or 40 minutes, the realism gives way to an all-out, corny monster movie. The Creeper is no longer scary at all. He resembles a foe Godzilla may have faced back in the '70s. If you sit through this unfortunate second half, you will be handsomely rewarded by the final scene. I'm not going to tell. You just have to see it. I'm a sucker for horror films and did enjoy this one, I just wish they kept the monster in the dark a bit more. When the realism wanes, the scares do too. A creep that looks like a man but kills like a monster is much scarier that a creep that looks like a dinosaur from Jurassic Park - The Ride.

Summary: disappointed
Review: the film in itself was very well done with the actors' good performance, photography and efects, but no story at all.
The film finishes so all of a sudden that nobody rose when the film finished.
For me, it was waste of time and money.

Summary: Save Your Money
Review: If your looking for a scare, take your ten bucks to the video store and pick up any axe-wielding-mask-wearing-psychotic-teen-terrorizing horror flick and some jiffy pop. I have seen Jeepers Creepers and it's not creepy. It's not scary, gory or suspenseful as promised either. The plot centers around two college students who witness a man disposing of two bodies, discover his underground "house of pain" and subsequently become wrapped up in his rampant little feeding frenzy. I have to hand it to the actors in this film (although I do question their judgment). They have done well with a poorly-written script and a shallow, unoriginal storyline. The majority of the film is slow. There are no clinchers, few plot twists and thanks to the brick-to-the-head subtlety of the foreshadowing, you know how it's going to end long before it actually does. Definitely not the edge-of-your-seat, you'll-have-nightmares quality film. In short: don't waste your money. Or your time.
