Jeepers Creepers Audience Reviews

Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
andreashadjoullis People, have you searched this man on google? He is a convicted child molester. Do not support this film.
bradluna I thought this was a joke of a horror movie, kind of like the Sharknado series, except they aren't serious. Justin Long was a poor choice, his bravado isn't believable, he wants to impress his sister, wtf?? Horror movies don't have to be people making absolutely stupid, unexplainable choices, that's the hallmark of a bad horror movie, just the same as horror films that only rely on loud bangs and flashes of light or 'scary' images. It's funny how many people think this was an good movie, but then again the masses usually like crap!
phillawrence-32142 What could have been a good horror was completely ruined within the first 20 minutes after your suspension of disbelief is utterly shot. The ridiculously contrived and retarded manner in which the monsters lair is discovered, is frankly embarrassing. After that, it goes further down hill, as the monster is only fleetingly involved until the end, where it just goes full on cliché, even stealing from Predator. Utterly appalling film. Shame, the bad guy was a good idea.
CinemaClown Jeepers Creepers was one of the first Hollywood horror films that I watched. Sneaking into the living room while the parents were asleep, connecting the earphones to the TV while keeping the lights off, it sure was a cinematic experience that I haven't forgotten and although it doesn't affect me now the way it did back then, there's much about it that I still admire.The story of Jeepers Creepers follows two siblings who, while on their way back home, witness a mysterious person dumping something down a tunnel. After finding out what was dumped down there, they set off to get help but soon find themselves being stalked & tormented by an old, rusty truck and ultimately learn that their pursuer is something way more horrifying.Written & directed by Victor Salva, the film opens on an impressive note and keeps its menacing tone alive during the first act but stumbles down the road & becomes derivative in the remaining hour. Salva introduces an eerie vibe earlier into the story, and sets things up really well but loses his grip as the plot progresses. Still, it's damn effective when it's supposed to be.The part of siblings & their dynamic is well written & executed but it's the characteristics of the Creeper and how everything about him is slowly revealed that makes up for its most interesting part. The isolated countryside location adds to its unsettling aura and also brilliantly carried out is its homage to Steven Spielberg's Duel, for that old, rusty truck was just as intimidating, if not more.Coming to the acting department, the cast consists of Gina Philips, Justin Long, Jonathan Breck & others, with all three playing their part ably. Breck's screen presence in full costume & make-up is creepy and the more his character reveals its true form, the more unnerving it becomes. Philips & Long exhibit that sibling dynamic but it's their shared moments that contributes more to the story than their individual inputs.On an overall scale, Jeepers Creepers opens strongly, with a promise of better things to come, but that part never really arrives as the film ends up being bogged by genre clichés in the second half and becomes quite predictable near the end. Still, the sinister atmosphere, smart build-up & some shocking moments do provide enough weight that it may still surprise a few unsuspecting viewers. Definitely worth a watch, at least once.
