Nice bashing of Romero's Land of the Dead folks!
It was a bigger budget addition to the Dead franchise but did little in way of critical and commercial appreciation for Romero's famous trio. Most of us keep it apart from Night/Dawn/Day and from the looks of it, we have valid reasons for it too. Excellent addition, illdojo. Why is there so much hatred towards Jeepers Creepers while I know some of you absolutely adore it? Since it gave the horror genre a new, terrifying and ruthless "creature" killer, and the Hansel & Gretel situation at the end was stupefying... Here comes the bashing!!:D |

The characters were not upto par in Jeepers Creepers. The killer was great, but some of the acting was either too annoying or too bad.
I did not hate the film though. I thought it was good. |
I find Jeepers Creepers more amusing then anything. I was certainly entertained by it, but I don't think it was all that well done. I didn't really care about the characters, and while I kind of liked the idea, and the creature, I didn't find much scary about it.
But again, I was entertained. Can't expect much more than that. ;) |
It was an entertainer, no doubt about it. But there wasnt much sympathy generated for the lead characters, and the supporting cast got skewered before audiences could identify with them. The Creeper is a good addition to the killers of yore though. I thought "he/it" was very creative.
Righto...I see this movie in many people's top 10 lists, yet many other members get a bitter taste in their mouths when it is mentioned. Why do the haters dont like The Blair Witch Project? Let the bashing commence!! (that means you too, Z):D |
The Blair Witch Project... the only good thing I think came of it was the "Scooby Doo Project" thing that came on Cartoon Network during promotion for the movie (Keep in mind I was 8).

I feel sorry for those too young (or whatever the reason) to have seen this in the theaters the opening weekend.
It was an event that I thoroughly enjoyed. Sure there are holes in it, but I look past them completely because the vibe in the theater was one of apprehension and very palpable fear. The finale is chilling and people screamed their heads off in the cinema. |
I'm going to be honest. I laughed my ass off. If the kids weren't so damn histrionic, it might have been believable, but as is, they were just plain funny.

I think it's an example of brlliant and unique filmmaking, and I have an immense amount of respect for the makers. I own the DVD, have watched it several times, and it still manages to send a shiver to the spine.
I will support the BWP any ol' day. |
