Summary: I STILL HAVE NIGHTMARES ABOUT THE MOVIE!!!
Review: I am not much of a scary movie fan, but this is one of the better ones I have seen to a point. Some scenes totally grossed me out, while others left me hiding my eyes in front of my face. I think the plot itself is original, but man...the two main characters are total idiots!!! I'm not going to write a long boring summary, but I will say the ending of the movie still gives me chills and leaves me with nightmares. Also, I couldn'r really say that the plot was predictable...but the characters were. In my opinion, if you see something scary or freaky happen in front of you...you don't just stand there...you get the heck out as soon as possible!!!

Summary: Jeepers Creepers
Review: Okay for some reason I can get involved in a movie/TV show extremely easily. If it's the worst thing in the world I still want to see how it ends. There are occasions however when I'll watch a movie and it just doesn't appeal to me and I don't mind not seeing the ending. This movie on the other hand I actually wanted to stop it as soon as it started. This movie was TERRIBLE. I've read the the beginning is good and then it flops from there. The beginning was the worst part. The two main characters are annoying and extreme idiots. There was absolutely nothing scary about this movie in fact it just annoyed me. I can't decide who I hated more: the boy, the girl, the old woman who rambled the whole movie, or the stupidest looking creature I have ever seen. The only reason I sat through the whole movie was because I was at someone's house who'd I never been to there house before and walking out tends to make a bad expression. I thought to myself 'Is there any way I can hate this movie any more than I already do?' Well for awhile my answer was 'No it's not possible'. That is until I found out that the director was a child molester. The only redeeming factor of this movie was the end and it's because...well for those of you who still haven't seen it and want to I wont spoil it for you. I hate it when someone spoils a movie for me so it would be hypocritical for me to do the same. Don't watch the movie, but if you do don't say I didn't warn you.

Summary: Feast Your Peepers on This One
Review: One of the best things about JEEPERS CREEPERS is the on-screen interaction between the brother and sister characters played respectively by Justin Long and Gina Philips. Like regular teenagers, they sardonically bicker, tease, and pick at each other when things start out, but when faced with a life-threatening crisis, the genuine love and respect that they have for each other shines through. In fact, so genuine are their performances that, after watching the film, it is difficult to accept the fact that the two actors are not actually siblings. Hopefully these excellent young performers will go on to even greater stardom as their talents mature and they fine-tune their art.But the two young stars aren't the ONLY good thing about this movie. No siree! With JEEPERS CREEPERS, writer/director Victor Salva has pulled out nearly all the stops to craft an enjoyable old-fashioned spook-show. Most of the action takes place in a rural setting during what appears to be early fall, and this creates a very eerie and unsettling atmosphere that harkens back to Tobe Hooper's THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE. In fact, aficionados of the genre will no doubt notice that JEEPERS CREEPERS is replete with nods to horror greats from the cinema past, including not only Hooper's cult classic, but also such films as DRACULA, FRANKENSTEIN, PSYCHO, Spielberg's DUEL, HALLOWEEN, FRIDAY THE 13th,...and the list goes on and on. In addition, Salva playfully and lovingly pokes fun at many horror clichés--worn-out devices like the old dark house, the darkened tunnel, the urban legend, the barely audible warning from a dying victim, the phone call from a stranger, the warning from a psychic, and many more--yet he does so in clever and witty ways that add to the fun of the film and the logical progression of the story. What would an old-fashioned monster movie be without a monster? And does JEEPERS CREEPERS ever have one! Somewhat reptilian in appearance and extremely cunning and intelligent, it is of the coolest, creepiest monsters to hit the cinema since 1979's ALIEN (and its sequels). Extendable and retractable facial appendages, a mouthful of sharp teeth, big fold-out bat-like wings--all this, and it sews, carves wood, and drives, too! And in keeping with the nostalgic undertones of the rest of the film, this monster also has characteristics that are reminiscent of nasty cinema favorites from days gone by: DRACULA, the FRANKENSTEIN monster, THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON, television's GARGOYLES (1972), the aforementioned titular ghoulie from ALIEN, and more contemporary monsters like Freddy, Jason, and even HANNIBAL the Cannibal. Filmgoers who enjoy the fun creep-shows of yesteryear will get a real kick out of JEEPERS CREEPERS, but it is also modern and hip enough that younger, less nostalgic genre fans should enjoy it, too. The DVD from MGM is loaded with cool extras, not the least of which are a feature commentary from writer/director Salva, alternate openings and endings, and some interesting behind-the-scenes featurettes. This one's well worth the price of admission.

Summary: A very good dark film, like Gargolyes from 70s but better
Review: I have seen this recently, and have to say this is a great film. Some parts are predictable like ending up down the drain pipe and a "red herring" camper, but some parts are not, like the ending is a good example. Also makes you realize women should not drive stick shifts vehicles with a clutch(just kidding). The only reason this did not get five stars is the line the guy fed to the woman to go back and see if it was a body in the drainpipe. There should have been a better reason to go back, or totally take out that part of the framework/film, and just drive back. A must see film. You will not be disapointed if you enjoy dark films. Will remind you of an older movie called "Gargoyles" from the 70s, but is better in my opnion.

Summary: The Director is the true horror
Review: I thought this was an okay flick. Then I learned tha tthe director went to prison for child molestation. He made videos of himself with a very young boy. His Hollywood friends say he apid his debt to society. Molestation can never be forgiven. This is a sick, sick man. I regret ever having seen this movie.

Summary: Excellant fun
Review: The tension in this piece of cinematography is built up and conveyed superbly- the Creeper's van looms casually into view, just like a normal vehicle, until it lets out a harsh, grinding blare of noise , and we know instantly that the driver is up to no good.
The identity of the killer is revealed with excellant subtlety- the two main charectars see a shadowy figure drop what appears to be a body down a pipe, and we don't see his face very clearly till near the end..
The hepless isolation of being stranded away from home with a monstrous figure after you is conveyed magnificently by the two main charectars.
I know that a lot of noise has been made about the revelation half-way through about the killer's identity- he is eventually revealed to be some kind of cannibalistic demon called the Creeper, with immense strength.
Before we know who he is, however, we are given hints about his supernatural identity via how he drives from the cafe to the church in such a short time. Personally, I no problem with the charectar turning out to be some kind of monster.
The ending is a bit grim, but this is still a great horror film.

Summary: Okay movie
Review: This movie was OK. It is not really that scary after you have seen it once. This movie has really NO point to it.

Summary: Nice horror flick good for Halloween
Review: Although Victor Silva's first DVD which I saw, "Powder" had lots of suspense this movie is definitely in the horror genre. It's great in the use of shadows, lighting and music to keep ones suspense without too much actually gore. Just like the early Universal monsters, i.e. Frankenstein, Dracula... the director recaptures a better ear of horror complete with color and scared teens. A great film for high schoolers. I really liked the monster's appearance and superhuman abilities, especially the wings. The monster certainly has good taste too!
Enjoy this DVD for suspense and don't miss the DVD 'Powder' either. Jeepers to all, AJ
