Rating: Summary: The Dumbest Story ever told. Review: This is the worst movie I have ever seen. From the complete lack of explination as to what the hell that creature is. To the stupidity of the main characters. Gee, I'm driving down the road and I see some creepy old guy throw bodies in the well. Hmmn....Time for Sherlock Holmes here to investigate. Let me go down to the well where it looks like a madman is throwing body bags. Some how I must be more invincible than the mortals he slayed previosuly. Now I am being chased by a creature. Let me keep asking this woman who knows just as little as the audience about this creature or what is going on.Stupid! dumb! boring! what the! is this for real! who is this made for! the stoned. and some how they made a sequal............................. This movie should be used as a form of torture. It is the worst piece of American Cinema Ever.
Rating: Summary: I Don't Understand Review: Victor Salva's Jeepers Creepers has some things that work and a lot that don't. I found The Creeper much more effective early in the movie when it was just him in his hat and rags, driving his truck. Once he was fully revealed he lost a lot of his menace. The psychic angle was okay to get some back-story into the movie, however she kept telling the kids "you don't understand," but refused to explain. You're right, I don't understand - and while I may fear what I don't understand in other circumstances, here I just got annoyed. So much of the movie is a mixture of other films that I got frustrated trying to follow it toward the end. Think of it as Duel meets The Birds meets Urban Legend meets The Hitcher meets Silence of the Lambs meets Mimic meets who-knows-what-else. The movie leaves a lot of questions unanswered, such as: "What is The Creeper?" "Where did it come from?" "Why is Trish willing to sacrifice herself for Darry? (Does it have anything to do with Mr. Poly-Sci-Track-Team Guy?)" and "Are Jezelle's dreams ever wrong?" The movie does have some redeeming qualities, though. The actors do a good job with their roles; Eileen Brennan gives a delightfully off-center performance as The Cat Lady. The music is effective. There are some good gross-out moments and some good suspense. Unfortunately, the movie is less than the sum of its parts, a disappointing muddle. This is a good-enough movie for a creature-feature weekend, but don't expect to wear out the laser on your DVD player due to repeat viewings.
Rating: Summary: oooooooohhh, scary! Review: I haven't seen a good movie like this in a while. I really enjoy scary movies, and this one had me on the edge of my seat! That human eating thing, whatever it was, was of the hook. Lord knows, I was thinking about it after the movie was off. It had me shooked for a min. LOL
Rating: Summary: Creepy Creeper Creeps Us Out... Review: Trish (Gina Phillips) and her brother Darry (Justin Long) are on their way home from school in Trish's old car. On a long, lonely stretch of highway, they encounter a maniac driving a suped up truck that's as fast as a rocket-sled! Said maniac keeps crashing into the rear of their car and zooms off around them and into the distance. While still recovering from this experience, Trish and Darry see this guy loading what appear to be bodies (wrapped in bloody sheets) down a pipe by an old abandoned church. Of course, they simply MUST investigate or there wouldn't be much of a movie now would there? So, when the big guy leaves, they go to the pipe, where Darry hears what sounds like a faint human moan. He scoots into the pipe, only to fall in and down into the damp darkness below! Once there, Darry discovers not only a poor dying kid with a stitched-up chest, but also an entire ceiling covered with hundreds of well-preserved victims of the madman in the truck! This is no ordinary stalker / slasher story after all. Darry, now in shock, staggers up and out through the church and Trish drives them to a diner to call the police. It just gets creepier from there. A psychic calls them at the diner with information she couldn't possibly have. The cops arrive, while outside, the "creeper" has gone through Darry's dirty laundry, getting his scent. The creeper is one of the better movie monsters (nope, he ain't human) I've seen over the years. He'll definitely stick in your head! Cops have no hope against him / it as he comes for what he needs / wants from Darry. The beginning is a lot like Spielberg's "Duel" in it's relentless chase between car and truck. The unveiling of the creeper's cathedral of death reminded me of the discovery of the queen's egg-chamber in "Aliens" or the livingroom scene in the original "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", shocking and disturbing. Also, there's a scene at the police station that reminded me of Arnold's infamous "I'll be Back!" sequence in "The Terminator". I don't consider these ripoffs. I call them tributes. JEEPERS CREEPERS is one of the best horror movies I've seen in years. It's certainly better than most of the lame "Scream"-ish clones floating around. Great acting, eerie situations, a scary monster, and a continual sense of dread should be enough for any fan of this type of spook-fest...
Rating: Summary: 1st Half :: Great --- 2nd Half :: Not Review: The entire 1st half of this movie keeps you on the edge of your seat - and squinting your eyes...it's totally creepy!!! But - the 2nd half of the movie just ruins the entire film...it's too bad, because it could have turned out so much better!
Rating: Summary: 3 STARS IS GENEROUS Review: I SAW THIS MOVIE THE FIRST DAY IT WAS OUT IN THEATRES. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE GREAT BASED ON THE TRAILERS. BOY, WAS I WRONG. ADVERTISED AS "SHEER TERROR...THE MOST SCARY, STYLISH HORROR MOVIE...IN YEARS." I figured, foolishly as it turned out, "HOW COULD THIS GO WRONG?" CLIVE BARKER (MY BRITISH HORROR IDOL) ACTUALLY WROTE THAT REVIEW!!! (WEEP, CRY, SCREECH!!!)HOW COULD HE? ANYWAY, THE ONLY THING SCARY ABOUT THE MOVIE IS ITS ELUSIVE, DARK, SHAPELESS MONSTER THAT REMINDED ME OF THE WITHER CHARACTER IN THE GREAT HORROR NOVELS "WITHER" & "WITHER'S RAIN." I ADMIT, IT MOVED AROUND THE WALLS AND CEILINGS VERY QUICKLY, AND THAT WAS SOMEHOW EXTREMELY FRIGHTENING FOR ME. ALSO, A BIG ROOM FULL OF BONES FOUND BY THE CHARACTERS WAS INTERESTINGLY GROTESQUE. BUT THAT WAS AS FAR AS THE TERROR GOT FOR ME AND MY COMRADES. OTHERWISE, THE CHARATERS WERE BORING, THE ACTORS TERRIBLE AND THE PLOT PRETTY PREDICTABLE. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND WAIT FOR THE RENTAL.
Rating: Summary: Jeepers Creepers: Those Giant Fangs are Keepers! Review: I have seen some scary movies in my time, but this one is even better than the first one! The cinematography is the key, which is why even in broad daylight, the very thought of the Creeper being nearby can still titillate the senses! He's here, then he's gone; he can fly, and that is the one flaw in the movie: with speed and stealth like that, where does the concept of "Creeper" come in? The kids are on their way home from a game. Of course, the bus is integrated, but hints of homophobia filter in and out of the teasing and bullying that takes place. But that doesn't last long, as a crisis brings together this most divergent of groups: a flat tire is just the beginning of the nightmares these high schoolers are about to experience, and as each chaperone disappears, the kids are left to what little wits they've got to try to make something good out of an ultra-bad situation! Without giving it away, let me add that the ending is anti-climatic -- which paves the way for a "Jeepers Creepers 3." Congrats on the unique story line, a combination of Disney's "The SCarecrow of Romney Marsh" and "Nightmare on ELm Street." A must see!
Rating: Summary: Jeepers Creepers Review: Stylish, scary horror film that is one of the most creative and original to come around in years. It's good old-fashioned horror at it's best, with a hip cast and returning director Victor Salva. Whilst Trish (Gina Philips) and her brother Darry (Justin Long) are driving back from college for summer break, they are run off the road by a monstrous and ugly, beat-up truck with the license plate "BEATINGU." Later on, they see the same truck again by an old church and realize that the driver is shoving a body down a dark pipe. When the siblings go back to investigate and try to help, what they find is beyond their wildest nightmares...and actually apart of a local psychic who knows what is going to happen next to the brother and sister. The only complaint I have about this film is the fact that the ending becomes very silly, and the way the creature becomes naked looks very computerish and spoils the old-fashioned feel of the film which is part of what made it so frightening. However, the VERY end is quite creepy and as I've already said, this is one of the best horror films to come around in years. Enjoy.
Rating: Summary: 3.5 Stars for Jeepers Creepers Review: I'm a weathered horror movie fan, meaning I don't get frightened very easily. Most horror movies lately have resorted to what I like to call the "Boo! Effect," where really the only way to get a jump from the viewer is to have something suddenly jump out of the quiet dark. As far as I remember, "Jeeper's Creepers" did not use this cheap effect once. Instead, they played on my anticipations and my fears of the unknown to keep me holding on to my blankie. It was a real emotional thrill ride, no slashing masked men around here! My eyes were literally glued to the screen. I repeated "Oh My GOD" during the whole film. I hardly do that anymore. Since this film kept me completely disturbed, I give this movie 3.5 stars. The ending had me a little disappointed because I wanted to know just who the villain was and WHY he was who he was and why he did what he did and WHAT ON EARTH DOES HE WANT??!!!! None of these questions were answered and I'm hoping that "Jeeper's Creepers 2" will fulfill my needs. Perhaps that was what made this movie so fascinating, though. Perhaps if they gave too much information I wouldn't have been nearly as interested. The search for the truth is the main ingredient, I guess!
Rating: Summary: Scary at the beginning but disppoints you at the end Review: I had really wanted to see this and I had heard good things about it. It was suspensful and when Darry is stuck in the basement with the bodies that's pretty scary. So is when they were escaping and they were at the house with the lady with all the cats. There was little action and the pyshic was really stupid. Were we supposed to be scared when she was singing. This movie was also really sick at points too. When the lady at the gas station says "He was sniffing all your clothes and it looked like he was enjoying it too" was nasty and did we have to see him ripping the toungue out of that guy. I wanted to see the cops shoot him so bad. I don't think they should've put all the sick scenes in without putting a stronger plot. The whole movie was really a conversation between Darry and his sister with ten minutes of them running away. This movie was not worthy of a sequel and it was trying to be a Halloween movie or a Nightmare on Elm Street knockoff. Don't put yourself through this hour and a half of stupidity.
