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.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 6, 2002

An unsettling, gory, but intelligent horror flick.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 24, 2001

What it lacks in studio-level finesse it more than makes up for with unrelenting imagination and a creepily visceral punch.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 4, 2001

The plotting is a tad generic, and the film feels long at a scant 90 minutes. But the movie is good enough to put a chill into the late-summer air.

Feels too rote to inspire real terror.

Full Review | Aug 31, 2001

Jeepers Creepers is better setting things up than following through. It must resort to psychic mumbo-jumbo that has to be played straight and doesn't work.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 31, 2001

It's nice to walk out of a celluloid house of terror without feeling all cut up inside for a change.

Jeepers Creepers might have a stylishly sinister look, but the goods are rudimentary.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 31, 2001

Unlike the recent horror films Session 9 and The Others, there's nothing remotely ambitious or imaginative in Jeepers Creepers.

Full Review | Aug 31, 2001

A clever thriller-chiller combining laughter with creepiness that should satisfy horror fans looking for a late-summer diversion.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 31, 2001

It's a shame that Salva so suddenly and permanently leaves the suggestive territory of the movie's first third.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 30, 2001

Jeepers Creepers gets down and dirty, respecting its genre enough to make it seem vibrant, fresh and, in a warped way, real.

Full Review | Aug 30, 2001

While it is at heart just another stupid slasher movie, its undeniable style on an obviously limited budget places it a cut above the rest.

| Aug 30, 2001

If you can overlook its lapses in character logic, you'll have a ghoulishly good time at this more-ambitious -than-usual shocker.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 30, 2001

Gets off to a great start and then simply shuts down, like an awesome vintage car on an ambitious road trip.

| Aug 30, 2001

As long as the film refrains from revealing its monster, Jeepers Creepers builds up a mood of sinister expectation. Once its bat-winged supernatural thingamajig appears, the beast isn't half as horrifying as you imagined.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 30, 2001

After introducing a provocative opening, the movie settles in for some pretty cheap scare effects, as well as by-the-numbers computer graphic imagery for the actual marauder.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5 | Aug 30, 2001

Jeepers Creepers is no big-screen keeper, but it does survive its 40-minute test drive before turning into a lemon.
