Summary: Jeepers Creepers!!
Review: Well, while some people say this was the stupidest movie, I say not. This isn't your average horror/slasher movie, folks. This is your creepy, orginal movie. You'll be getting the creeps for the first half of the movie and my god, the Creeper is scary until you actually see him up close. Aw, but the whole shadowy-undertaker-figure makes this guy look...scary. The movie has got pretty much everything here: Your comedy, chills, and what not many scary movies have...not exactly a happy ending! For once the "good guys" didn't completely win! It's a fun movie to watch at night-you'll be entertained thorughout the movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Really scary, but one flaw.
Review: Excellent! Brilliantly woven by director Victor Salva. Listed below is the cast!
Gina Phillips as TRISH
Justin Long as DARRY
Jonathan Breck as THE CREEPER
Patricia Belcher as JEZELLE HARTMAN
Eileen Brennan as THE CAT LADY

Now, there's just one thing wrong. The previews played these heavy metal rocks songs and made this movie look so cool (don't get me wrong, it still was), but in the actual feature no music like that is played, and that was kind of a disappointment. Anyway, the film's main plot is two teens, Trish and Darry, are driving home from college on a lonely, deserted highway. After being nearly run off the road by some kamikaze driver in an old beatup truck, they cool off and continue on their road trip. Later, they see the same truck parked at an old church, and its driver is dumping human bodies down a huge, rusty pipe. After going back to investigate, the person who dumped the bodies down there is after them now, and he knows who they are. After a while, we learn that this killer is not a man, but a demon. For those of you who thought the killer was a person, you were way off!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good suspense-builder
Review: This surprise hit perhaps shows that audiences have really been craving such basic horrror as what 'Jeepers Creepers' really is. The story has two teenagers driving home from college only to encounter a huge van that tries to run them off the road. Subsequent encounters prove it to be a flesh-eating demon that requires bodyparts to survive and needs something from the two teens.

With movies such as this there are always pitfalls to go along with moments of ingenuity. For the first half hour this plays very much like a traditional horror movie such as 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre', thankfully devoid of irony and clever smirks; this is horror at its most basic. Indeed, there's an awful lot of moments that will make you jump up in your seat. Despite being highly traditional though, there are several moments of genuine surprise here. When the van bears down on the two teens it's actually very scary and the chamber made from dead bodies really makes the flesh creep.

However, once this threat is revealed as a demon a lot of the suspense rapidly disappears. Although the special effects are impressive, nothing really takes away from the fact that what's been scaring the audience all this time has been an organ-harvesting demon. Quite simply, this is silly, even if it is different.

Thankfully the young teen actors are very good indeed, and manage to bounce off each other incredibly well in the early comic scenes that they share. What 'Jeepers Creepers' proved was that audiences have tired of the same smug horrors which quickly followed the ground-breaking 'Scream'. This is back-to-basics stuff and cleverly creeps its audience out with implication rather than gore. It's definitely one to watch, if not only for the fact that it is so different from a lot of other modern horror out there.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Director's commentary
Review: I won't write too much about the film itself, other critics have done that for me. In short, being a big fan of horror films, I would say that this movie adds a new dimension to the horror genre, and you should enjoy it if you have enjoyed other films in the same field. One extra comment I would add is that the director's commentary on the DVD is well worth listening in to. I learned so much more about what he was trying to achieve with certain scenes. Unlike many other commentaries, I was happy to listen to this throughout thew entire film.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: DEFINITELY A RENTAL
Review: IF YOUR PUBLIC LIBRARY HAS IT, EVEN BETTER. NOT THE BEST HORROR FLICK EVER, OR THE WORST EITHER. SOME INTERESTING CONCEPTS IN THE PLOT, BUT THE MOVIE JUST KIND OF ENDED. WATCH FOR THE SEQUEL.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: decent horror film
Review: The first 35 minutes or so of this film is very good and does a great job at building suspense. Then when we find out what the creature is in the black coat it loses all suspenseness. I'd rather the creature have gone unseen and unexplained than a gargoyle looking thing that eats tongues. Decent horror though..I recommend it for a late night rent

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: "Jeepers,creepers, where did you get those peepers?"
Review: This movie was great,to me it was a combination between pure monster horror,relationship between brothers and a thriller.
the movie kept my interests till the very end of it, the best thing i liked about the movie was that the makers made the movie in a way that along the movie you get more information and knoledge about the "creeper", who is he,what is he etc...

*i gave it 4 stars and not 5 because the end was very dipressing and left a bitter and sad thoughts in my hed...

DONT LET ANYONE TELL YOU ABOUT THE END OR THE CREEPER!!!!...

P.S: some very good special material are included!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Oh my Sweet Gawd!
Review: Im always up for a new scary movie. Now I just need someone to tell me why I wasted my time watching this one. It would have been a great movie had one understood what was going on for the first 98% on the movie. Even when it ended, I had to sit there and think to understand it. I have NEVER had to do that before. Creepers did have its scary "monster" and it did have a huge body count and it did make me bounce in my seat a few times. If thats what you are looking for, go for it. If you like something that makes you think then have your thoughts proven before the last 5 minutes of the movie..this isnt the one for you.

Rating: 1 stars

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: QUITE A FEW PEOPLE GET SCARED EASLIY IT SEEMS!
Review: ...this film was terrible, I think I could have gone and made a 3 hour long scary movie with the whole gang of the Powerpuff girls.
The movie is bad in three areas.....

(1) Story/Plot: Mostly only two people I didn't get scared once in this film.

(2) Make up: The dead bodies in this film looked very, very fake.

(3) Special Effects: Oh dear, oh dear, even the Nightmare on Elm Street films had better Special Effects...
