Summary: well that was certainly a mistake
Review: Jeepers Creepers had so much potential but the director and I suppose, the producer blew it. What was that dialog about the mother all about at the begining? It went nowhere. The plot holes are just too big to forgive. If someone runs you off the road what do you do? You call the cops on your cell phone or you drive off and report it later. The brother and sister in this movie decide to go check the "guy" who nearly killed them out. You see the weird dude who nearly killed you stuffing what looks like a body into a pipe. What do you do? Get the heck out of there, right? No...these idiots decide to investigate. Obviously the brother and sister had to run into the Creeper some kind of way to get the movie started but this was simply idiotic.
The Creeper does this every 23 years, so how come no one in town seems to have noticed missing loved ones? In fact, how come the folks in town don't just go on vacation during the Creeper's feeding time?
The Creeper himself is a scary creature until you see all of him then he becomes a laughable special effect. Okay, I'll admit that the last iamge of the movie was impressive but that's five minutes in an otherwise dopey movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love this movie!!
Review: Jeepers Creepers was something fresh and different from the usual horror we've been watching over the years. For starters it is real creepy at times. The evil Creeper is unpredictable and unstoppable. This movie was a bit like The X-Files. No one knew the origin or true identity of the Creeper or what his motives were. The only thing you could be sure of is that he would get you...no matter what! The ending was good too. I won't spoil it but it was extremely creepy and will probably give you nightmares!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: "Jeepers Creepers"! Did I Actually Watch This?
Review: "Jeepers Creepers" is a movie I remember hearing a lot of mixed buzz about. Some people\critics hailed it as one of the scariest movies ever! While others said it ranks among the worst ever made. I had wanted to see "Jeepers Creepers" when it was firsted released,but, just never got around to it. Then, one day I just decided to rent it, since I'm a fan of the genre.

"Jeepers Creepers" is a movie I think that does have some suspenseful moments. I also think the film's first half bour is brilliant. And by that I mean, it's set-up is wonderful. The suspense slowly builds up because we don't know what kind of movie we are in for. We have no way of knowing where this plot will take us. As for dialogue well, the film suffers, and the movie has too many loop holes that don't bring the movie together, plus, it just gets plan silly. But, I'm getting ahead of myself here.

"Jeepers Creepers" starts off as a brother and sister Trish (Gina Philips) and her brother Darry (Justin Long) are driving home from school. Soon they encounter a strange driver on the road who nearly runs them right off the road. As they drive on, they see him again, this time, he's off the road, and they see him throwing bodies down a pipe. Now, all of this believe it or not works. But, what happens inbetween this, doesn't work.

First of all, the two kids start talking about their mother. Okay, what about her? I don't know. They say that she's change, that she;s not herself anymore. OK, why? Does she have a physical problem? Is she breaking up with her husband? Did her husband die? Or is she just lonely? We never know. Information is given to us, but, it's never completed. We know Trish (Gina Philips) breaks up with her boyfriend, why? The writers were just trying to make this characters have a conversation for the film doesn't become boring until the action happens. But, why make the characters talk about things that won't have anything to do with the movie. We don't want to hear it. Why not try writing USEFUL dialogue?

After the first half hour, the film become odd, but, I was willing to go along with it. We find out something about the driver in the begining of the movie (don't worry I won't spoil it). And then we start to second guess our opinion of why we rented this in the first place. So now, the film just becomes silly. Here's an example, the kids are soon told they whenever they hear the Harry Warren song "Jeepers Creepers" expect trouble. Never in all my life would I have expected the song "Jeepers Creepers" to represent evil! Also, we are told that the "crepper" attacks ever 23 years! And the funny thing is, no one else knows about this. That leads to another question. Exactly how long has this been going on?

Director Victor Salva is not a talentless director I feel. He might be able to actually make a good, scary horror flick one of these days. He just needs to prepare himself better. That's what really breaks this film. The elements are there for a good movie, but, they just weren't used properly. Maybe "Jeepers Creepers 2" will be better. Who knows. I personally would advise you not to watch this movie. If you like the teen horror genre I prefer "Scream", "I Know What You Did Last Summer", and "The Glass House".

Bottom-line: Suspensefull, but ultimately silly horror film that just doesn't scare us enough but makes us think of what could of been. Decent acting, so-so scrpit.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Film!
Review: If you want to have a scary time night, this is the film. The story of Jeepers Creepers is really original and you will never guess the end. The special effects are well done and all the time something scary happen. The sounds of the film are really scary. It good also because it dont have sex scenes, so everyone can watch it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent horror thriller.
Review: Jeepers Creepers is a horror thriller in the vein of 80's "old school" style, which means it relies on atmosphere over a hip soundtrack (which it doesn't have, at all) and the teen cast from Dawson's Creek. Rather, we get two unknown actors to play the part, a genuinely intense score, and some truly effective camerawork and stylishness to build suspense. There's a decent amount of gore, too, for those interested.

The two leads are very good, playing off each other very believably as a brother/sister duo who truly care for one another. The film moves at a fast pace, and its knockout finale breaks some genre cliches. The final scene might not go well with some, but it's a shocking close to a terrific frightfest.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Not Very Scary
Review: This really isn't a very good film, and I couldn't even bring myself to give it 2 stars. I watched it alone late in the night, and it wasn't scary at all, though it did have it's brief moments of suspense (thankfully). The storyline, which started out as promising, soon showed itself to have neither rhyme nor reason. The acting was average, which is more than I can say for the incredibly lackluster and stereotypical script. In the end, this film was as textbook as "I Know What You Did Last Summer." There was nothing refreshing here, nothing new, just the same ol' run of the mill Saturday night horror flick. I suppose if you're pretty darn bored one night, you might want to check this out. For everyone else, try "Scream" or at least something interesting.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Something refreshing for the horror genre!
Review: I'm a big fan of the horror movie genre and this movie is definitely one of the best and underrated. I liked the fact that the movie went with a family angle (brother/sister) rather than another overused "romantic couple getaway that turned deadly" kind of film. Another aspect of the film that works is the dialogue. I can't remember their names, but the brother/sister duo had great chemistry together. The movie lives up to its title and I did find it creepy. Another refreshing factor in the movie is the ending. Many horror movies have a certain formula but this one went against your typical hollywood ending. Overall, if you like being scared, this'll do it to you. I didn't give the film 5 stars though because I feel like it ended too quickly and didn't cover enough ground. Hopefully a sequel is in the works and will be a continuation.

Rating: 5 stars
