Rating: Summary: Scary and unpredictable Review: I thought this was a great horror movie. There are not many "new" horror movies out there, and this redeems the genre. Two teens, brother and sister, find themselves in the middle of a murder mystery involving a mysterious character. They think the character is human but will find out in the end just exactly what they are dealing with. All the clues come together in the end as the secrests are unvailed. Who will be alone screaming in the dark? Is the psychic they meet correct that one of them will die? You will definitely be in suspense for this one!
Rating: Summary: Ugh! Review: The only thankful thing about this movie is that it has an ending. A colossal waste of time and money. Whoever wrote and directed this should be returned to the asylum for societies own good.
Rating: Summary: Jeepers Creepers Review: I loved Jeepers Creepers. I don't get scared easily and this made even me jump. I also had help getting scared. This lady behind me kept kicking the back of my chair every time something scary happened. Over all , if you like getting scared, watch Jeepers Creepers!
Rating: Summary: Grand -- for the first 30 minutes Review: Like horror classics like Texas Chainsaw Massacre? The beginning of this film (before you see the "creature" and things go off the stupid end) is *really* fun and scary. Classic suspense. The director know what he was doing for awhile.... Overall, if you consider the piece as a whole, it doesn't go anywhere worth while. But for the beginning alone, grand.
Rating: Summary: JEEPERS CREEPERS-BOOGYMAN OF 2001!- written by ASHI TOLEDANO Review: This movie is great and I liked it since the first 5 minutes because there was already a chasing. ok, the ending is a partial let-down but still, it was freeky. It was scary how he did not die and how he sniffed the people to see which one he wanted. It was a little over the line type of sick at 2 or three parts but the movie was good. I loved it and it is 1 of the 20 best horror flicks of my time(1988-2001). this movie is a must see and rocks. If you like freddy Crueger and texas chainsaw massacre and hannibal, this one's for you! It is over all a great movie!
Rating: Summary: Jeepers Creepers Review: Ok, let's try again since AOL booted me when I had my review finished and I lost it...I was pleasantly surprised that it was not the typical comedy/slasher movie of late, such as Scream (1,2,3), Last Summer, etc. There was only one funny scene in Jeepers that I can recall and that was the name calling stint between the brother and sister. I, and other movie goers, jumped out of my seat several times. I had to move to the back of the theater with my back against the wall to avoid those irritating late attendees walking up behind me and startling me while watching the movie! (And people, pleeeeease get a clue and leave your cell phones and crying babies at home!!!). Even though there were scenes where you wanted to scream out "get out of there dummies!" to the brother and sister, there were still many scary scenes. I agree with some reviewers that the psychic was just a waste of time, and would also like to know where the creeper came from, but it was a fun movie regardless; not in the true sense of the word "fun," but fun as is getting to be scared. I haven't been scared since the original Nightmare on Elm Street came out at theaters in 1984. When I and other people came out of Jeepers (JC), several of us jumped when turning a corner in the theater hallway and there was a dark luminous shadow on the wall which happened to be just a shadow from the drinking fountain... Immediately after Jeepers, I went over to see Rock Star thinking it would get JC off my mind; talk about scary...go see Rock Star. Anyway, while leaving the theater, I kept thinking I heard footsteps behind me and with the creeper on my mind, I ran to my car. I can't wait to see it again and buy it on DVD! I'm going to drag my husband (he's scared silly of horror movies) and my teen son to see it too. Some reviewers are giving it reviews as if it was supposed to be some Shakespearean play, gees, lighten up, it's exactly what it's supposed to be; a "B" horror flick, but much better than the silly teen horrors out.
Rating: Summary: Don't bother Review: I did not enjoy this movie. Where was the plot? I suggest seeing something (anything) else. If you're curious about what this movie is about (don't ask me, I couldn't figure it out) then do yourself a favor and WAIT 'TIL IT'S ON VIDEO! Seriously - don't bother!
Rating: Summary: whatever. Review: As has been stated I thought this film was actually cool for a while. scary cool evil guy. good acting by the stars of the film. Horrifying imagery: the basement tof the church was freaky. then the main bad guy turned out to a demon. geez, like that has not been done to death. the costume for the main bad guy wasn't cool either. expect a sequal. bad ending but the look of the brother after his eyes had been riped out was scary looking
Rating: Summary: Incredible Rising Action, but lacks climax, and ending Review: Based on Freytag's pyramid of Drama, the rising action of the film; the introduction of the creature, was incredibly intriguing. But when it came to the climax, falling action, and dénouement (ending), the movie completly failed. Just when one is thinking that this is an exception to the regular C horror movies, your trust is lost once again. I recall people booing at the end of the movie and not one positive opinion was said. The ultimate fuel of horror and horror movies is not knowing the physical looks of what is putting you in the state of horror, therefore more horror movies should follow this rule. In the scene where the villian creature is driving that old rusty truck (which reminds one of Sweet Tooth's icecream truck from the Twisted Metal games) and crashing it into the teenagers car is an example of not showing the physical looks of the host of terror. There is an exception to commonly broken rule: If one shows the physical lookes of the host of terror at the ending in an unforgetable scene then one has achieved the goal of a succesful horror movie. We can also derive this rule from the Scream triolgy movies, even though they are not depicted as classic acts of horror. What also disappoints critics is the three questions that remained unasnwered about the villian creature include: 1. What is this thing? 2. Why it is here? 3. How did it get here? The only piece of information that we do know is that the so called physcic women believed it to be a demon or Satan. As I said one could have improved the climax, falling action, and dénouement (ending) much better than what the final product turned out to be. If you are considering to see this film at the theatre then remember what I said: A excellent beginning, but horrible structure and ending.
Rating: Summary: *YAWN* Review: Well, OK, OK - It wasnt' THAT bad !!! It was just rather cheesy!!First of all, it took a lil tooooo long to get started! The movie starts with a brother and sister blabbering away in a car for about an hour it seems. Anyway, second, the less they showed of the "bad guy" the scarier it was - so of course at the end they ruined the entire movie!!! So, to say the least - dont waste your money on this one.
