Good Teen Horror Flick... Keep it in perspective...., May 17 2004
This review is from: Jeepers Creepers (Widescreen/Full Screen) (DVD)
On a desolated country highway Darry (Justin Long) and his sister Trish (Gina Philips) are nearly run off the road by The Creeper (Jonathan Breck) in an old beat up truck.
Later they spot The Creeper and see what appears to be a body wrapped in a sheet being thrown down a sewer pipe.
Darry insists that they check it out.
At the bottom of the sewer Darry finds hundreds of dead bodies.
Darry and Trish now become targets of an evil far more unspeakable and unstoppable than they ever imagined.
Rest of the cast includes Patricia Belcher and Eileen Brennan.
When I first saw the previews for Jeepers Creepers I thought the movie looked terrible and the tagline what's eating you? Didn't help matters much.
With nothing to do one night I gave Jeepers Creepers a chance with rather low expectations.
It got off to a fast start and pretty much never let up, it was full of suspense and jolts.
The biggest complaint I hear about Jeepers Creepers, is when we find out who and what the Creeper is.
I do agree that it did hurt the movie a bit. Even when we find out the Creeper is some supernatural demon I was fine with that.
But once he started sprouting wings and when we get a good look at The Creeper that hurt the movie.
The first half of the movie, The Creeper was kept hidden we didn't really see much of him and that worked.
Still with that said Writer/Director Victor Salva does a great job.
The movie was well written and his directing was right on the money.
Salva showed great potential as horror filmmaker, but dropped the ball with Jeepers Creepers 2.
Justin Long and Gina Philips both give great performances.
Despite the 2nd half of Jeepers Creepers, it's still a fun movie that delivers the goods.

True Horror Movie, Oct 12 2006
This review is from: Jeepers Creepers (Widescreen/Full Screen) (DVD)
I say that this is a true horror movie because, well, it is. Its original and has a story. The first time I watched it, tell you the truth, I was scared. Nebraska by the way is home to a lot of corn fields and abandoned churches like the one in this movie. A definite movie to own in your collection. Please boast that you have this one, it is something to be proud to own. You wont know how to classify this one, whether it's about a serial killer, or just about demons! Bring plenty of blankets, drinks, and snack food to the couch. Dont forget the gal or guy! Keep the axe in the tool shed under lock and key!!!

Kind of Creepy, Feb 20 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Jeepers Creepers (Widescreen/Full Screen) (DVD)
When I first watched this movie I didn't know what to expect. I'll start off by giving you a bit of what the story is about.
The movie starts off with a brother and sister driving home from College for spring break. They are taking some desirted highway which is also the long way home. In the car they are playing game with the license plates they see becuase the are obviously bored. Then up behind them comes this speeding beated up truck. It keeps on trying to hit them and then finally it passes. Darry and his sister think nothing of it, until they pass by a boarded up church and see the creeper shoving something down a sewer pipe. They drive by and the creeper comes with his truck and rear-ends them again. Darry and his sister decide to turn back and investigate. Darry falls down the sewer pipe which leads to the church basement. In there he finds hundreds of bodies that are plastered up on the wall. Eventually they leave to find help. When they get it they get it they are told that the church is burning down. From there on in the movie becomes a little boring, all though it has an interesting ending.
