by scott29  - Top 500, Sep 19 '01
Pros: A few solid jolts and unsettling sequences early on.
Cons: Basically the entire second half of the movie.
It's annoying when a movie shows just enough flashes of brilliance to make you like it, while still displaying just enough unoriginality, cliche and predictability to make you angry. Such is the case in Victor Salva's Jeepers Creepers. If ever...

Pros: Nice new cast, original story
Cons: Dumb characters, abrupt ending
Jeepers Creepers is your basic formulaic horror movie, but I did enjoy it, despite the abrupt ending. This movie has everything you could expect to find in these kinds of movies: Dumb characters who don't know when to run, useless cops, pretty people,...

Pros: scary, creepy, surprising, actors
Cons: some poor special effects
Ooh Wee! This movie was so creepy! I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like it. What was the point of it? Who knows, and who cares! I think it was weird enough not to leave you wondering what the actual point of the movie was.

Pros: A thriller that does not overstay its welcome; original ending; creepy
Cons: A bit cliche at times, but aren't all horror movies?
I've been a high school English teacher for nearly a decade. At the risk of jinxing myself, I've had some notable success. As a result, I often receive student-teachers. This year, during a discussion of horror movies, my student-teacher asked me if I...

Pros: Scary and unique. The best horror film we've had in years.
Cons: VERY troubling.
A few days ago I wrote a review on Alien, listing all the reasons why I thought that was such a great film. People left comments on my review, saying why they loved the movie. One thing was for certain when I was watching...

Pros: he was a decent enough looking monster
Cons: probably a lot but who cares?
Where'd ya get those peepers?
This movie is what acting is all about. Whoa there, before you look for a stake to impale me on, I didn't say there was good acting in the movie, I said it is what acting is all about. These two kids were...

Pros: Some nice atmospheric sequences. Great use of location.
Cons: Steadily deteriorates from creepy original to standard monster flick as it proceeds.
My concert at Happy Hasid Acres nursing facility in Windsor, Ontario, was a stunning success. Cindy, who organized the benefit, managed to squeeze all the residents and their families into the solarium and only one gastrostomy tube came out...

Pros: Definitely scary, good special effects.
Cons: None
I love a good horror movie. I remembered seeing the previews to this movie when it first came out, but never got around to going to see it at the theatres. This movie was brought back to my attention this week as I was reading some reviews of a fellow...

by SusanGranger - Top 1000, Aug 18 '01
Pros: Writer/director Victor Salva was influenced by Spielberg's "Duel" - and it shows.
Cons: It's a genre low-budget horror creature/feature - made by a convicted sex offender.
This nasty, little horror film begins as a bickering brother (Justin Long) and sister (Gina Philips) spy a man dropping long, cylindrical objects down a drainage pipe as they're driving through the desolate countryside on their way home from...

by Montepenny - Top 500, Sep 04 '01
Pros: Has some creepy moments and it starts off well...
Cons: but it sputters and crashes with silliness and excessiveness.
Jeepers Creepers treads the fine line of being a "gimmicky" horror move and a truly scary one. It begins on a rather creepy note as two siblings, Trish (Gina Philips, Boston Pubic) and Darryl (Justin Long, Ed),...

Pros: Creepy movie, cast/acting, plot, almost all of the movie.
Cons: Loses its greatness when the group reaches the police station.
On a desolate country highway, two homeward-bound teens are nearly run off the road by a maniac in a beat-up truck...and later spot him shoving what appears to be a body down a sewer pipe. But when they stop to investigate, they discover that the ...

Pros: Neat monster, semi-fresh story, some suspenseful scenes, good first half.
Cons: Some cheesy acting, less effective second half, director's personal history.
One night, I was at Blockbuster looking for something different to rent. Among other selections, I came across Jeepers Creepers. As I recalled, it was a low budget sleeper hit of 2001, and one of the better then-recent horror movies. As I read the ...

Pros: Some great moments. Restraint from the director works well.
Cons: Last third.
Well, within just a few weeks of the release of “The Others” along came another horror film that rises above the usual dreck of its genre. However, this is not the type of horror film that “The Others” succeeded at being. That film was trying to be a...

by Simply_Crispy - Top 1000, Apr 04 '02
Pros: The opening stages are excellent, as is Salva's direction throughout.
Cons: Soon falls into standard slice-and-dice territory.
A rose by any other name is still a rose. And a sub-standard monster flick with a dodgy title is still a... well, you get the idea. See, when watching this low-rent B-movie, the first cautionary point is in the name itself. I mean, Jeepers...
