Review of Jeepers Creepers (2001) by Zachary H — 22 Aug 2011
This movie is actually really good. Despite the backlash that the movie got because it was considered scary (which is a death sentence for a scary movie because it makes people have expectations that the movie can't possibly meet), the movie has some genuinely creepy scenes and one of the best atmospheres in recent horror movies.
This movie is almost like Alien for the first part of the movie. It keeps whatever the monster is largely hidden in shadows and his truck for the first part of it. This is quite effective and even gets creepier as night falls on the movie.
Granted that this movie's premise is pretty dumb because there is no way I would stay in that area with a creature haunting me. Anyway, this movie is good. It is effective at creating its atmosphere and immensely successful at creating its own original story.
I like this movie and recommend it for people that can drop their expectations on a horror movie.
