Jeepers Creepers

What really makes Jeepers Creepers stand out is that it is a unique story. Yes, it is gory. Yes, the antagonist is a ruthless killing machine. But it's not like Jason, Freddy, Michael Myers, and so forth. This film is not as much a slasher film as it is just a brutal horror flick. Every 23 years, the Creeper gets 23 days to hunt and feast. This itself leads one to believe that this creature is more animal than man. However, he can drive a car too, so who knows? The Creeper stalks his prey throughout the film, and seeing where he disposes of his victims, as well as their remains, tells one that his intentions for his prey is nothing pleasant. Kudos to this movie for developing an original concept and creating an entirely new villain to terrify audiences.

Having just removed myself of an hour and a half at the movie house, watching something that tries to pass itself off as a horror movie I find myself asking the question "Why was this movie made?" It starts out the first 15 minutes of a brother and sister bickering like little kids, not acting like young adults they try to portray. The "bad guy" visually looks nice, but he has absolutely no substance and in the wake of classics like Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloweeen, etc., this bad guy (who has no cool name) is more on the level of Barney that Jason. I refuse to spoil the movie, far be it from me to tell you NOT to see this movie and waste your time and money, but it has THE worst ending of ANY movie I have seen in many, many years. BEWARE!!!!
