Rating: Summary: Must read!! Review: Do not watch this film! Gina Philips's and Justin Long's acting abilities are absolutely abysmal. My god, they ruined any chance at future careers by acting in this joke of a film. Twenty minutes into this film, my girl friend and I could no longer tolerate the pounding headaches this film induced.
Rating: Summary: ughh....it's gotta be scary.....oh crap there's the credits Review: AAAARRRRGGHHH! What the? This movie really was not worth sacrificing a nap for. All I can say is that the actors can't save a movie when it's flying off a cliff. The actors were superb for not big name people. My plight is not with them...it's with whoever decided to help produce this flaming bag of dog ..... "Hey there's a body rapped in sheets and ropes that's really bloody...and they just got thrown down a well. I wonder if they're alive....we gotta go back!" No you don't. So many stupid moments! People just keep doing dumb stuff through the whole movie.....I wasn't even vaguely scared of this movie...and whoever was should step outta there sterile lives cause there clearly panicked by anything that moves (bug, lava lamps, flowing water. This was a really lame movie...at least the acting wasn't horrible.
Rating: Summary: Jeepers Stinkers Review: We had been eager for the DVD release of Jeepers Creepers for a while, since there are so few decent scary movies anymore. Unfortunately we were largely disappointed. The beginning of the film showed some promise, but I found it difficult to feel any sympathy for the main characters. The male lead wasn't terribly appealing and the female lead was borderline bitchy for the entire movie. As is usually the case some of there actions and responses were unbelievably silly. There were some decent shocks and the pacing was well metered, but for me there were far too many whys?? The script seems to touch on alot of things simply to try to tie things together, the title song, the psychic, the "house of pain" etc. They never seemed to explain where this thing comes from or why he does what he does, or what he does the other 22 years. Plus while I appreciate a non-Hollywood ending this felt like they ran out of cash and said, I guess we need to end it here. We can only hope Jeepers Creepers 2 will tie up some of the loose ends and FLESH out some of the rest of the story.
Rating: Summary: The movie has a promising beginning... Review: but the best way to watch this movie is to turn it off half way through. I know that no one reading this is actual going to turn it off in the middle of the movie...but if you want to walk away from this movie and not want to scream, break the tape or disc, and hope something very bad happens to the makers, shut it off at the point where the brother and sister enter the police station. So my review will consist of 2 parts; before this scene and after it.The first hour has all the makings of an excellent, original, and scary movie that might give you nightmares for weeks. Horror movies in the past 5 years haven't really been scary at all, and most should be direct to video B movies. The acting is top notch. The characters are involving and you start to really care about them. The villain will give you the creeps, and even has a personality (whistles while he's throwing bodies in his truck). There are some "do NOT do this in a horror movie" instances that occur, but one can live with this. Jeepers Creepers appears to the best horror movie in a long time. The second part of the movie, about the last 30 minutes, will leave you very mad. It seems as though they got bored with the movie and wanted to wrap it up quickly. There are some characters introduced for no reason (pyschic woman), gigantic holes in the story, and parts of the story that are never explained (bodies in the church basement, why haven't they decomposed, and why does he return every 23 years). After the last scene and the screen goes black, you are thinking (you would bet money on it) that the movie is not over. I watched a few minutes of the credits just to make sure, plus I was in shock on how bad the movie ended. Now after reading this review, I know you'll watch the whole movie, but you'll ask yourself "why didn't I listen to that guy and turn it off half way through?". This is the first review I have ever written. I've seen movies that were bad and just not care to write one, but I feel cheated from this movie. I love horror movies, them being my favorite genre (sci-fi's my 2nd favorite). I hated that this movie stunk. Would someone please make a good horror movie?!!
Rating: Summary: Early Adopter DVD Machine-Will not play movie Review: I can access only the side two special features on my DVD player. However, I have had some success on my computer DVD drive. This movie freezes at the ratings screen after you choose widescreen or pan and scan mode. Anyone else have this problem?
Rating: Summary: Two stars for the ending....but not even... Review: What a hype machine this is. Its been hailed as the return of Horror movie monsters to scary films. Those who hated the "mock" horror films such as Scream and company, claim this movie as the big horror come back. Someone even said this movie isn't a satire, if thats true, why does the girl say "you know that part in horror movies when someone does somethign really stupid and everyone hates him for it, this is it" Could you be anymore obvious and self-knowing? That line alone, totally blows whatever fictional world they want you in. From that moment on you KNOW this will be nothing more then typical horror dribble. The Creeper is NOT scary, not even that ugly. His form is just not surprising, and falls short of a vampire bat wannabe. The kill scenes are non-existant with little to no blood. Theirs no psychological thrills because everything is painted right in front of you. The use of the song is silly but serves some kinda purpose but holds no candle to freddy's song. The characters are acted as well as they can be, but they have nothing to work with. All they do is run and get scared. Its so short that literally by the end, not much of anything has happened. Don't waste your time, if you hated Scream (I luved it) please don't say THIS is better. The Ending is different and can be applauded for its no-holds-barred approach, but by then you just wanna turn off the movie.
Rating: Summary: Well....... Review: I was really excited when I first saw this movie advertised on tv...then I saw it. It was okay but I was a bit disappointed. This could of been a "GREAT" movie. For instance, the brother and sister do some really dumb things in the movie such as watching in awe as the creeper kills a cop, and they just stand/and or sit there! Let's hope Jeepers Creepers 2 turns out to be a lot better. Then maybe I can give the series at least 4 stars.
Rating: Summary: What a DVD!!! Review: Great movie! One of the best! I don't care what the spoiled film brats say, it is a teriffic movie. The DVD is loaded with extras. *Deleted & Extended Scenes Including Alternate Opening & Ending *"Behind The Peepers" - 6 Behind-The-Scenes Featurettes (Casting Trish & Darry, Finding The Right Cars, Shooting In Florida, Make-Up, Night Shooting, and the best one, The Score. *Audio Commentary by Writer and Director, Victor Salva *Photo Gallery *Original Theatrical Trailer along with some for other MGM "Special Edition" DVDs MGM has done it again! They have taken a great movie, and put it on a great DVD. The picture and sound quality are pretty good. I also recommend you get the album for Bennett Salvay's original score. This movie, although given a lot of disrespect by fans of the genre, deserved the treatment!
Rating: Summary: An anger from audience Review: I can not believe that there is one of these directors can produce this kind of movie. I can get angry at each character by their actions. I don't khow why when they (Darry and his sister) were getting scared, but stood still to look at what the monster doing, and asking himself "what is this?". And many other stupid things they did that left questions to audiences. For me, I consider this movie as poor directed and the episode is unreasonable. People have not seen this movie, should not see it, you will feel sorry about it.
Rating: Summary: Quite Original Review: This is definately one of the few horror movies that lived up to my expectations. I first saw it opening day and was mildly entertained, it was good but the theater I saw it had a poor sound system. The movie was still worth the purchase. I just finished watching it on dvd and man, what a difference, the sound track is pulse pounding and the movie made me jump on many occasions, it was almost a completely new experience. please do yourself a favour and pick up this dvd, unless you feel that supporting a child molesting director is wrong.
