Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Wonderfully creepy, get-under-your-skin horror movie! Writer/director Victor Salva frames the film with a fairly basic unstoppable monster movie set-up, with a brother and sister traveling across the country and finding themselves stalked by The Creeper, but Salva tells his story with so much flavor and texture that "Jeepers Creepers" stands apart from most horror films. The film's timeless setting, which is clearly contemporary but feels as if it could also have been in an earlier time, such as the1920s dust bowl or a post war 1950s, give the film mythical feel. The film's use of sound design is exceedingly good, from the Creeper's truck horn, to the ambient sounds of the Creeper's lair, to the echoey record playing of Paul Whiteman's version of Jeepers Creepers, all burns into your memory. Director Salva also fills the film with eerie visuals that equally burn themselves into your brain, such as the the long drainpipe leading to the Creeper's lair, or The Creeper's frightening silhouetted axe, or the film's final image, which I won't spoil here. In addition to eerie imagery and sound design, Salva fills his film with a wonderful amount of suspense and dread. As a writer, Salva does a nice job of slowly revealing the lore behind this mysterious Creeper figure. (SPOILER ALERT!) There's one moment late in the film after The Creeper has been run over by a car and a large single wing suddenly appears from the prone figure and is a wonderful oh-my-gosh-what-is-going-on-here moment! Overall, "Jeepers Creepers" is a must see for horror film fans and is a rather unique rural supernatural horror tale, but I don't believe "Jeepers Creepers" is a film that will appeal to a wider audience.

The vicious monster debuts in this indie horror classic hunting a brother and sister on a terrifying road trip. Trish (Gina Philips) and Darry (Justin Long) are driving back from college when they are nearly run off the road by a creepy looking truck. The siblings see the strange man later dumping wrapped bodies down a hole near a church. They drive by but the man nearly runs them off the road again. Darry decides that they should go back and find out if anyone needs their help down in the hole despite Trish's misgiving. Darry crawls down thinking he hears voices and sees movement but slips out of Trish's grip when rats come out. Darry finds a house of horror below with dead bodies sewn together in an awful mosaic.The brother and sister speed out of there as fast as they can and make it to a diner where they ask for help. Everyone thinks they're crazy except the payphone suddenly rings. On the other line is Jezelle (Patricia Belcher) who has seen a vision of Darry or Trish suffering under the torture of the Creeper (Jonathan Breck). She warns them that they will hear the 50's song Jeepers Creepers before it attacks. The police show up and they try to explain what they saw to the skeptical officers. The patrons see a strange man sniffing Darry's close in the back of the car but when the cops try to get fingerprints, they only find dead skin. The cops also investigate the strange church near the horror hole but find it on fire.Check out more of this review and others at swilliky.com

Great movie, with a completely new horror character, unimaginable. Keeps the viewer in view from the beginning to the end, with a touch of comedy that does not affect the spirit of the plot. The faces of panic abound in the film with great handling of realism. The make-up of the Creeper is magnificently accomplished. One of the best horror movies of all time.
