    I've been reading the reviews for this film and have found myself sighing continually. Why? Because too many people take films like this far too literally. Like the reviewer who questions the characters decision to go back to the church. Hello, this is a horror film and if they w...( read more)eren't stupid we wouldn't have a movie. What were you expecting? Kubrick? Jeepers Creepers does exactly what it says on the tin. It's creepy, it's silly, and, if you can get over yourselves for a minute, lots of fun. Leave your brain at the door and have fun.

    Not quite as bad as I had been expecting, I seem to remember a lot of bad reviews about this at the time. It is of course a typical cheesy Horror and I?m not particularly a fan of those which relate to non-human monsters or creatures etc, there were however a few tense moments t...( read more)o it?s credit and is one of the watchable ones of this genre.

    one of my very favourite horror movies, jeepers creepers is about two siblings travelling home and being chased by something/someone on the road. *SPOILER ALERT* some people say that it lost its impact once the creature was revealed *SPOILER ALERT* but i say boohoo to that notion...( read more). i think i would've found it boring if it was the same old serial killer slasher flick. there's too many of them around. this was different and in my opinion really holds your attention. i thought gina philips and justin long were great as the brother and sister. never seen someone look so scared as justin. the idea of the house of pain with all the bodies sown together. *spoiler* the (demon) landing on the squad car. the wings opening up on the floor when it's just been run over *spoiler*. so many iconic scenes. jonathan breck looked so freaky as the creeper in all of them! the only fault i can find with the film.... and this is me being really picky here, is that the ending could've had a bit more stunt work or maybe some more effects in it as well as the high emotion it already had. victor salva does a great job with the direction

    this was stupid could have been better but honestly why they made a number two is beyond me but only good thing that came out of this movie was actor Justin Long.

David Edelstein, Slate

The plotting is a tad generic, and the film feels long at a scant 90 minutes. But the movie is good enough to put a chill into the late-summer air. full review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

Feels too rote to inspire real terror. full review

    Well... it's a creeper plant... Not that stupid dimwit hiding behind shower curtains and pretend that the neighbor's daugther will take her shower soon and he could poke her with its branches...kah...kah... kah. Now, this could be a synopsis for a fully-thrilled movie.. hey, why not..

    what a load of rubbish. its just another 'scary' movie. and the bad guy?! jeeze.....its like nobody could agree what to make him....so the art director closed his eyes n made something resembling a cross between batman and the lead singer of Korn! ....i did laugh though....but AT it. second one was worse still.

    Interesting concept, bad execution. Even though the monster/bat/moth/human thing was SO fuckin' stupid, it still scared the hell out of me for quite some time. The last scene was the best scene in the movie.
