Is anyone watchin the film now on channel 4?When i first watched this film it scared the shit out of me, and normally i dont get scared easily. The creepy thing isnt scary just the whole thing about the film is...if you know what i mean.. :D
And especially the song,
"Jeepers where you get those peepers where do you get those eyes" Scary!!!
 
The creepiest thing about these movies is that the director is a convicted child molester: explains all those lingering shots of boys in part 2, I guess. :eek:
 
I agree the first 10-20mins is great and it does go downhill, and i hate JC 2 there is nothing scary about it, just a bunch of gay boys on a school bus running from the creeper, why is that so scary?.
 
I started watching on dvd - after the first 12-20 minutes, I decided that they were so stupid that they deserved anything that happened to them and switched off.

It was
crawling into that pipe
that sealed it for me. *shakes head*
 
Didn't see it last night but i've seen it a few times before, and i do think this is an above par horror film. I agree with the previous posters that the first 20 minutes are the best. It's not perfect by any means but it's a lot better than most efforts and certainly much superior to its sequel.
 
As soon as it is revealed that it is really a winged creature i lost all intrest in the movie.I still watched it to the end but it was all pretty disappointing.I might give JC2 a look tonight.
 
JC2 is much better in my opinion. I found the first one more frightening even though it was rubbish. The second one is hilarious but i enjoyed it. Just a bunch of stupid brainless kiRAB getting picked off one-by-one.
 
I just watched them both over the last couple of days. Just finished watching Jeepers Creepers 2 a couple of hours ago.

I enjoyed them both.

In the first one, not a lot actually happens really if you think about it.
The body count is relatively low, but the scenes are done really well.

More action in JP2 with a higher body count.

I think what I liked about both films is that it's not always predictable who's going to die and who will live.
Even the usual 'nice' people who you knew would always survive in the more traditional horror films of the past, get really nasty deaths.

So when any of the 'good' characters are being chased, I really did feel a bit of tension thinking that they may die a horrible death.

It was a strange feeling at the end of JP1 when the main male character is taken away, and right at the end you find out he did indeed die in probably the most gruesome manner, as the monster has completely f*cked him up and carved the back of his head and his eyes out.

Likewise, at the start of JP2, the little kid at the start is taken away. It felt kind of bad to see an innocent kid taken away and killed oRABcreen.

They're quite nasty films really, which I think is a good thing in a way as far as horror films go.
After all it's pointless making predictable horror films where you know full well who will die and in what order and you know that some horror will be ruined by a really crap supposedly humorous joke.
In fact I hate horror films that are TOO jokey. Like I'm sick of the tired old cliche that you HAVE to reduce a bit of the horror with a joke...no you don't, I hate that.:D

Not nice films, very sadistic and indiscriminate,.....left me with a feeling of unease, and also wondering how I felt.
No real 'heroes' who will be the star who will win and get the girl at the end. (Although the guy seeking revenge for his kid in JP2 was a hero of a sort I suppose).
I liked how they are very inventive films, with the ideas used, and visually inventive as well.
They are a bit like Freddy Kruger from 'A Nightmare in Elm Street' for a more modern audience.

So yes, I think these were pretty good horror films.
I hadn't heard much about them before they just showed them on Channel 4. I don't know how I missed them by before.

:)
 
I watched JC2 yesterday, and it isnt as scary as the first one, but there was bits where i did jump. i wouldnt say its rubbish, as i have seen horror films that are totally crap. Its funny when the guys are sunbathing on the bus, i would have thought the girls would do that.
 
Ok never saw Jeepers Creepers 1 or 2 before it was on channel 4 on sat and sun. Jeepers 1 - absolute shite for the first 45 minutes easily bored me senseless, as soon as they arrived in the police station started getting better but still not worth watching again. Jeepers 2 started off well with the gore and killing but again turned out to be absolute shite. Im a chicken shit where scary movies are concerned Scream I know what you did last summer and Darkness falls frightens me - Jeepers 1 and 2 bored me. Not even good enough to be classed as a B movie.
