Jeepers Creepers

[AndyC]

On the one hand, I have no interest in the personal lives, opinions or politics of celebrities, and it annoys me the way some fans obsess over these people. I'm interested in their work and nothing else. On the other hand, if it comes to my attention that someone is a real whacko, pervert, etc., that will taint my enjoyment of their work (perhaps enjoyment is a strong word for Jeepers Creepers).

Celebrities and movies aside, I have to agree that if the victim of a child molester suffers for life, so should the bastard who did it. Some crimes should not be forgiven.

I read the full spoiler on this at The Movie Spoiler: thank God I didn't put money down for this turd. The spoiler reads like a Reader's Digest short or a plot for a thirty-minute TV episode, and the ending sounds like whacking material for gore-hungry sociopaths (like 99% of all slasher movies and "modern horror" trash). I honestly WISH something "old-school" would come along...instead, Hollywood will serve up a Jeepers sequel.

They never really say it's a demon - just one of a few possibilties.  I to think it could of been more interesting if it had been just  an abnormal human.  But I guess we'll never know...   I've never been a big fan of apparently indestructible monsters (though it was clear to me this one really wasn't, just made to appear so), I think it might of been cool if it had just been some new human variant preying on the father species.  Think that's been done before, but I like it when it's basically just an animal - since then you can root for them!  I also wish the ending had been reversed.  Those who've seen it know what I'm talking about.  

!SPOILER AHEAD!

Thing I don't get is if you've run over a creature like 10 times and it's multiple pieces but still alive...  Why don't you run over it and just leave the car on top of it?  That's what I would of done..  Or maybe sever the head and bury it :)

Oh well, despite what the early reviews said, the characters made plenty of stupid mistakes.

A few people complained about the stupid mistakes. If you look at the user comments on the IMDB, some viewers were really p**sed off. They didn't get the joke. I could see right away that the abundance of stupid mistakes on the part of the two teens was intentional.

The problem is that jokes like that only work in good movies that can afford to poke fun. In a lazy and poorly thought out story like Jeepers Creepers, it's just more stupidity.

I suppose there was no concrete statement that the Creeper was a demon. He's just made to look like every demon cliche in the movies. The benefits he derives from his food also suggest, to me, some sort of supernatural origin. I don't particularly like supernatural monsters, and I don't find demons scary at all.

On the other hand, nobody has made a really good movie based on the Lovecraft mythos. Some of those stories, done right, would be great demon movies. Unfortunately, no filmmaker has ever done one right.
