Critics Consensus

Jeepers Creepers has a promising start. Unfortunately, the tension and suspense quickly deflates into genre cliches as movie goes on.

I gotta say that I really enjoyed it. When I first saw that movie, I felt absolutely terrified by the Creeper. Today, I still think that the Creeper is a phenomenal Character.

I thought this was such a good movie I don't know why people dislike it so much. The characters make some dumb decisions but they do that in every scary movie. The whole thing is super suspenseful and creepy but not gross and the ending was cool.

Although the characters make really dumb decisions, it's one of the better horror movies out there.

If the reptile brain in you, that ugly little cluster of cerebral cells where all the destructive urges lie, needs a good jolt, Jeepers Creepers offers you just such a treat.

"You know the part in scary movies where somebody does something really stupid and everybody hates them for it?," Trish says to her thrill-seeking brother, Darry, in the horror film "Jeepers Creepers." "Well, this is it."

Rated: 2/4

Common Sense Media

There's a menace to it that creates a lot of tension, and the direction makes all the right moves, but the proverbial "big reveal" makes the whole thing seem more than a little ridiculous.

Rated: 2/5
