Here are my Review about Jeepers Creepers 2001 and im sure this will help you to decide to watch it or not.
Every once in a while a new horror film comes along that reinvents the genre (Jaws, Halloween, The Exorcist, A Nightmare on Elm Street). These films not only prove to be entertaining, but they add something new and visionary to a market that seems to thrive mostly on rip-offs, sequels and spoofs. JEEPERS CREEPERS should be counted among them. While it doesn’t maintain the level of thrills it achieves during the first 45 minutes or so, at just 90 minutes it does still manages to keep an effective level of adrenaline pumping shocks and scares and has one heck of a creepy ending to boot. The acting is first rate and the movie looks terrific. The CGI effects are thankfully kept to a minimum and its just a fun ride! There’s nothing more to say. Rent it. Buy it. Enjoy it.
The film starts of as others have said, keen on generating tension, uncertainty and foreboding. The initial minutes take elements from other a number of road movies. The key strength of the movie is the Creeper himself.
The creation; The Creeper is unlike many horror creations – he/it is actually scary. Compare the Creeper to Jason, Freddie, the wishmaster etc etc – No contest. Is he a demon, a devil or a fallen angel ?
Every 23 years he feasts for 23 days, and takes the parts of his victims he wants. The movie is low budget, and the effects on occasion do suffer, but considering the budget it packs as many thrills as any horror I have seem for a number of years. A modern day B Movie classic.
Jeepers Creepers has more in common with 1950’s EC horror comic books than any B Horror movies that have been made in the past twenty years. That fact isn’t bad, it’s great! There are a lot of horror plot ideas out there that have never seen decent expression. The film has some decent surprises along the way and the pace stays interesting. The identity of the monster stays a little mysterious. You’re not totally certain what it’s supposed to be. The plot is done intelligently for a Grade B movie. The dialog isn’t stupid or contrived. Go see or rent it. It’s worth the cash.
I’ll never forget the day when I first saw this movie. It was a hot late Saturday evening a couple of years ago. I was watching TV, switching channels and then I saw this by accident. I kept watching and I’m so glad I did. It turned out to be one of my all time favorite horror movies! It’s also the best of the franchise in my eyes! Never seen anything like this before! That beast and those eyes.. so very scary!! I still watch it from time to time and I never get tired! To be recommended very highly!
I was prepared to believe that this movie was going to be another one of those campy, poorly-acted teen scare flicks, but curiosity got the better of me and I took a chance. The main characters were convincing as brother and sister, with their natural exchange of sibling sarcasm and harassment, and their reactions to the story’s events as they happened were appropriate and believable. The movie’s opening action was pure horror genius and sets the stage for things to come. I particularly love a fright film that can create the mood by taking common, otherwise normal objects and settings, and turning them into symbols of sheer terror — a deserted country highway, an abandoned, boarded-up building, and an old, beat up automobile — this movie does not disappoint! Add a rather large and strangely dressed character whose face isn’t easily seen and you’ve got gold! Don’t let the teenage main characters fool you — I was 23 when I saw this movie and it kept me out of my mother’s basement for 2 weeks! My only regret was that I didn’t get to act in it!
I saw this movie a few months ago and have to say that it is one of the best and most disturbing horror movies I’ve ever seen. This movie isn’t so much about guts blood and gore as it is about terror. It focuses on a brother and sister who, while driving home together from college find themselves mixed up with a horrific murderer. The film’s sheer suspense and honest terror add up to an awesome movie that will have you on the edge of your seat.
I just want to say I’m a crazy horror buff, and so was my dad. When this movie came out in 2001, we rented it from blockbuster- I was scared as hell, I was 17. I bought a used copy from Blockbuster the next week. This is what I want of a horror movie! Great plot, some sort of crazy stalking, and a monster. These film makers were so on point and I think because they were new at a huge movie, they didn’t know how it would go- which was ape sh** AWSOME! Watch this movie because you get great shots, great directing and great acting… and a monster which is horrible (in a great way) . Please don’t think my headline is weird, I am not religious, I just thought it was so refreshing that it was different for my favorite genre.
