Rating: Summary: They should have made this a spoof ... Review: A potentially good movie, ruined by too many cliches, a bad script and the two dumbest kids in the whole of the United States. This movie could have been good - the plot idea was quite workable. However - enter the main stars of the film ... Did no-one ever tell them that it is bad for your health to stand and watch the evil guy who has spent the movie trying to kill you instead of simply driving away as fast as you can ? There are a few redeeming features to the movie - a creepy soundtrack and some good moments (though few and far between) - which save this from getting just one star ... The movie would have been better if it were another Scary Movie style spinoff, unfortunately it tries to take itself seriously.
Rating: Summary: Scared the hell out of me! Review: It scared me, I almost didn't want to finish watching it! But, I did. Although the "bad guy" was a little stupid...you can't beat the plot, the characters and definately not THE ENDING!!!!It's a great flick and well worth the [price].
Rating: Summary: What happened to good horror movis? Review: I bought this movie thinking that it might be good. Boy was I wrong. I was amazed that every turn the characters would do exactly what I thought they would and in such a stupid fashion it wasn't even funny. That is the problem with new horror movies. They have absolutely no plot and no fun or spunk to them. What happened to the good ole classic 80's horror movie that was cheesy and dumb but smart? And you knew that it was going to be cheesy and dumb, but it was cool and smart anyway. I think that the movie industry needs to rethink their whole attitude toward these new movies that they are making. NO ONE LIKES THE FORMAT!! The sooner that movie producers figure this out the better. I gave it two stars one because I couldn't give it any less, and one because the special effects were fair.
Rating: Summary: Wasted potential Review: Jeepers Creepers started off right: a palpable sense of menace begins to resonate as a pair of spoiled teenagers are driving home from college and find themselves terrorized by a huge, rambling old truck bearing down on them from behind, its horn shrieking, and nearly runs them off the road.......Perhaps the film should have ended right there because that's the last part of the film that feels anything like a horror film. Well, make that a good horror film. After this, shockingly, the film plunges into all those terrible cliches that has ruined the horror genre: stupid people doing stupid things, cars that won't start, stupid cops, extremely sharp cutlery, and so on. It's another sad walk down the horror hall of trash. Perhaps most surprising is how director Salva so quickly answers the films questions he has set up in the initial half-hour and thus kills the films creepy mystery. And then he introduces characters that have no time to develop and become nothing more than distractions. And last but not least: the killer, the monster, the whatever......Freddy Kreuger with wings. HA!
Rating: Summary: Horrible, predictable, dissapointing to say the least Review: I don't understand anybody liking or being scared by this movie! I'll say this: The first 10 minutes looked like the movie was going to be scarier than "Silence of the Lambs".....I was psyched. Then the movie went downhill, and became just plain stupid. You know you have watched a bad movie when it ends so abruptly that you sit shaking your head in disbelief as you watch the credits roll.
Rating: Summary: GREAT MOVIE with NEW IDEAS FROM OLD GENRES Review: Wow...What a Great Movie. Salva is making new ground for the horror biz. This movie which has taken themes of suspense from the 50's films such as "Creature of The Black Lagoon" and transformed it into a new fear which does not concentrate on gore and blood to spurt the screen. The end was very creative, yet abrupt(if the D.O.P. had gotten his angles and lighting better organised). It's main cast Gina Philips from "Telling You" and Justin Long who plays a witty "Warren Cheswick" on the NBC Show "Ed" makes this film complete and steady from scare to scare.
Rating: Summary: B....... EATING....... U Review: I thought that the movie was great.At first when he wanted to go back to the drain pipe I thought that no one would do that but when he said that if that were you wouldn't you like someone to help I sympathized with what he said.The first time I didn't get that the tag that said beatingu was b eating u.It was entertaining and I loved the cast.
Rating: Summary: One of the worst movies in a long time Review: This movie was absolutely terrible. The main characters in most horror movies are dumb, but these characters' stupidity is way beyond that, to the point that you will be [mad] through the whole movie, hoping that they'll just die soon and get it over with. This movie was definately a waste of 90 minutes.
Rating: Summary: Harkens back to the old monster movies Review: It never ceases to amaze me when people claim that horror movies are unrealistic. Of course they are! If you anaylze all movies then about 97% of them are unrealistic and full of holes. Jeepers Creepers tells the tale of a brother and sister coming home from college, when their paths cross that of The Creeper. A supernatural monster who feeds off of humans whenever one of his "parts" start to waver. I'm sure some people will be turned off from the ending, and some will complain that the ending is predictable. But you can't please everyone. As for me, I was satisfied with the ending. Just look out for Jeepers Creepers 2. If you're not sure about this title, I think it's at lease worth the price of a rental.
Rating: Summary: DVD problems Review: Please rent this DVD before you purchase it. I've seen too many problems with DVD players not reading the software. While I was at my local Hollywood Video returning my rental there were two other customers doing the same.
