 | Basic Plot: When a brother and sister driving along a desolate desert road witness what appears to be a man dumping corpses down a chute in the ground, they attempt to investigate. What they find is a horrific surprise. But even after they flee in terror from the hellish scene, the mysterious man catches up with them. They soon find themselves out in the middle of nowhere with their only company as a few locals and the baffled small-town police. There is nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. Before long, they discover the vicious predator isn't even human. And, to put the icing on the dreadful cake, the answers of why it is here and what it wants are revealed!
Few modern-day horror films include original, interesting, and iconic monsters. Well, Jeepers Creepers does! Although a superb cast and talented crew contribute to the greatness, the best part about it is the creature itself. Despite a few scenes (that are actually so realistic you can't tell CGI is used), the monster is the product of a very believeable full-body-suit, not cheap computer tricks. Before the inhuman identity is revealed of The Creeper, it's wardrobe is eye-poppingly awesome. Like the darkest of the darkest superheros, his long trench-coat flaps in the wind and his rugged hat shades his evil face. Like some kind of demon-cowboy, he's intimidating to the characters, yet mesmerizing to the audience. Eventually, of course, the clothing comes off and one hell of a creature is presented. I won't give a description of that -- you've got to see it for yourself. All I can say is that monster fans will not be disappointed!
In short conclusion, this is a great comeback for the old-fashioned creature flicks. It's not very scary, but it's a whole lot of fun! Jeepers Creepers excludes over-the-top gore and sexuality, trading in another cliche storyline for an unforgettable experience of pure monster mayhem. |
| Rating | | | Date | August 10, 2005 | | Summary | The best horror movie. | Content
| The movie Jeepers Creepers is a slick and scary horror movie. From the duel inspired begining to it's horrifing end, this movie delivers. The thing most people might not now is that the director was convicted of child rape. That does not stop this film from being great. Good performences and great use of music makes this a bonna fide good time! |
| Rating | | | Date | August 04, 2005 | | Summary | A Big let down | Content
| Watching the beginning of this movie showed much promise in a complete and well made horror movie that was long over due. Boy, was I wrong. By the end of the movie I felt disapointed and disguised about a movie that didn't even come close to bringing the horror genre back from the gutters. A poor excuse for a horror film. |

| First of all, let me just say one thing. Please just take this movie for what it is. It's a monster movie. Pure and simple. I too, when i first saw it, thought it was poor when they revieled what the Creeper was. But then i thought 'Well as a monster movie, it was pretty good.' Great performance from Justin Long, some fantastic camera work and eerie sound effects help to create a solid monster movie and makes for some really tense moments! With reference to Duel and some of Salva's favourite monster movies of old, this is fun to watch and will leave you feeling like there is some hope left for monster movies. Enjoy! |
| Rating | | | Date | July 29, 2005 | | Summary | Cool movie paying homage to 70's horror. | Content
| This movies has a real mood that hits dead on the mood and style of 70's horror flicks (much like Cabin Fever) although it doesn't really do much other than use certain camera techniques and a psychic woman it does it pretty well. The Creeper is a very cool creature, and the arguing brother and sister aren't really a common set of main characters in other movies, so they help with the believibility of the story. The story pretty much revolves around two siblings trying to get away from a monster guy who drives a really sweet (yet durty and old) truck and tries to eat them. The whole point is that he likes to scare people and that's why he doesn't kill them at first. He only is awake for 23 days every 23 years (I own the movie and I'm not for sure on that though). There are some pretty cool scenes that add a little suspense and some locations that add to the overall creepy (no pun intended) mood of the story. Victor Salva, who has an interesting past that I won't go into, does not focuse as much on blood and gore as he could, but goes more for suspense and scares, which is cool since we get enough gore in this day and age. I think horror fans should go for this, but I'm not sure if the casual moviegoer will enjoy this. They might not understand it's purpose. |
