Rating: Summary: 2 Stars for the first Hour! Review: Not only should you see this feel if you need a good "fright" but if you need a good LAUGH! If not for the first hour of the flick I would pass this movie a no star-er! Grant it, the beggining was interesting..then, boom! By the middle it starts to loose it's impact giving it a Matrix meets Scary Movie type of feel. I'm not even going to go there with the ending..the only thing I must warn you about this film is to save your money and stay away from the sequel!
Rating: Summary: Jeepers Creepers, where'd you get that awful movie? Review: As most of the other reviewers have noted in some form or fashion, I was eagerly anticipating this Victor Salva film that was supposedly "the best horror film in decades." Personally, I'd have to wonder [...] who viewed this piece of garbage and declared it "good." At no time was I scared or even on-edge during this horribly boring film. At times, I laughed at the genuinely (and intentional) comic portions, but other than some bodies and some blood, there were no disturbing themes in this film. The main characters in horror films, the "heroes," are generally likable in some form or fashion. Not so, here. I wanted this pair of siblings to die so horribly, especially the sister, who was not likable in the least. The characterization is weak enough on the main characters, so when they start introducing auxiliary characters... they are so weak and one-dimensional that I didn't even want them on the screen. As for the creature... all I have to say is: Stephen King's "It." Last, but certainly not least... ahh, the use of the song "Jeepers Creepers." I keep hearing how this song is used to "chilling" and "horrifying" effect. Honestly, if anything, it is used to a darkly comedic effect. I hear there's a sequel in production. I would suggest you avoid it and its predecessor. For scares, see "The Others," or even "Seven." Just, please... avoid Jeepers [...creepers].
Rating: Summary: Very disappointing Review: This movie had an incredible amount of potential and the first half makes for one of the scariest movies of the past ten years, brilliantly executed, incredibly creepy - then we get to see the monster and he looks like the dude out of Leprechaun, only taller! Why did we even need to see him in close up at all?!? The scene where he's on the roof of the cop car in the distance framed in the rear window of the kids car was inspired! Then we got to see him in close up and the thrill was gone. DeSalvo has also pinched plenty of set pieces from other movies. There are allusions to Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Birds, Duel, Terminator and the final scene is striaght out of The Silence of the Lambs. This film was incredibly disappointing simply because the first half was so damn good then it copped out.
Rating: Summary: Anticlimactic Ending Review: The beginning half of this supposed horror flick was watchable, but what was with the ending? When I pay my hard-earned money to see a movie, I don't want to see an UNHAPPY ending, for Creator's sake. I have to endure enough "downer" moments at my job as it is.
Rating: Summary: defective dvd Review: ok rented it twice on dvd and bought once had return for another copy and all fours times the movie would not play on my dvd play and i tried several other movies and they all worked fine.so inder for me to watch this movie i had to rent a vhs copy.i was wondering did any else who bought this have it not play on thier dvd player
Rating: Summary: This Movie Is AMust Have! Review: The First time i watched this movie it was daylight and I was hooked. But trust me this movie is even more scrier in the dark at midnight all alone. I made that mistake the second time i watched it, my friend ended up falling asleep and I was so f***** scared out of my mind, even more than the first time. I had to buy this movie and DVD. The only thing about the movie I didnt like was the ending It wasnt bad, It's just that I can't believe that they let the movie end with that happening. But I cant give it away. The plot of this movie is great these writers should win awards in the beginning we meet Darry(Justin long) and Trish(Gina Phillips) two siblings on Spring Break, Everything is fine until they discover something about a driver with the licsense plate BEATINGU, think about it. )nce they discover this creatures terrible secret their break is a nightmare. I dont want to ruin it too much for you but once you see this movie you'll have to buy it.And you'll see who hears Jeepers Creepers in the dark. If you own a DVD player buy the dvd because you get tons of extras. Deleted scenes, they shouldn't delete scenes,an alternatve ending is just as creepy as the one they did use. Interviews, Photo galleries and much more trust me Jeepers Creepers is one movie you dont want to miss!
Rating: Summary: This movie is sweet! Review: Jeepers creepers is a horror movie that is taken from the old-school horror formula. The main characters are Darry, who is at least 18, and his older sister Trish, who i guess is about 20 or 21 years old. while coming home from school, they run into the creeper who is thought to be human, but turns out not be. terror and chaos ensues. The ending says "we're going to make a sequel" all over it!
Rating: Summary: I Should've Been Warned Review: I was really anticipating seeing this movie. However the show had practically no plot. There is a demon out killing people. The cops never get into his cellar and explore anything there where he ate people. They never tell why the demon is after the main character. I mean he wants the main character because otherwise there wouldn't be a movie at all but in the story they said the main character, Darry (Justin Long) had something the demon needed. Everytime I thought the movie was just about to get good, I was let down again. People show up in this movie for a short period of time that seem to know everything about this demon but the movie never explains their connection and how they know the stuff they know. Basically, if the story would have been more solid, the movie wasn't acted out bad, and it just might have been a pretty good flick.
Rating: Summary: you gotta love em' Review: You have to love a bad guy who does his own thing. This movie keeps moving, without getting bogged down. The bad guy is bad, with blade (the movie) type moves. It's closer to a comic book than a horror film. Many will dislike the ending, but bad guys do bad things. The acting was well done, and although nothing really different happens in this movie, it did avoid the predictable idiot moves that most characters and action seems to make in horror films. The bad news is that the director forced a goofy song into the plot that we hear too often. Also there was not enough action. Still this one goes on the shelf at my home. Rent before buying, but I think you'll like it.
Rating: Summary: interesting and worth a look Review: Iam not in the young school, I was brought up on "Hammer" horror movies, in the era of "Dracula" and Christopher Lee. I saw this movie being advertised on TV,it looked interesting, so I took a chance and went to see it,I had pre-conceived notions on what might lie ahead, having seen so much rubbish that is served up in the name of horror. I found this movie very well executed with very scary moments, you dont need buckets of gore to make a good horror movie, and thank goodness this didn't occur. Victa Salva has produced a very good scary movie, it's Characters are beleivable. Well the truck driving demon is terrific!! I guess there are moments during the film that sure shock you, it.s all like a surrealistic nightmare.moments of "Dual" and "Texas Chain Saw Massacre" come to mind, this is all of them, well done to all, a refreshing change from the usual rubbish that fills our movie screens. Go see it Or Rent it.
