Review of Jeepers Creepers (1939) by Alex R — 20 Nov 2010

Jeepers Creepers is a very different Horror film than what we are used to. Director Victor Salva creates a horror film with a unique monster, The Creeper, a boogeyman type of monster. The film is very intense, and terrifying, it brings elements of old school horror and the cast here do a good job. Jeepers Creepers is a well done film film withn an original story that will please horror fans that are tired with cliched heavy horror films of the late 90's. The film starts off with a bang with the truck attack , which echoes Steven Spielberg's Duel. Jeepers Creepers is a terrifying horror film and has many scares for the audience, and it will make you feel uneasy. I think that Jeepers Creepers has had unnecessary flack because it's viewed as a ccheap thrill horror film. I really don't think that this film deserves all the bad press it has gotten. Jeepers Creepers is one of the most memorable horror films of the decade and it's certainly a good one at that because IT IS not a remake, it's an original film!

After the really bad Horror films of the late 90s, this film is very refreshing in scaring you. It doesn't have the typical Scream horror clichés and its very enjoyable give it a chance; its really not a bad film at all. If you like boogeyman type films, the Jeepers Creepers is the type of film you need to watch. A very blood curdling film at times.
