Review of Jeepers Creepers III 3 Full Movie: This p.o.s. is an excellent example of why writers who direct will often destroy. The performances are over-the-top or under-the-bottom. Most of the adult characters are mostly screaming at each other, and the sad teenage girl just sulks. Salva obviously takes his script way too seriously, and the actors are seriously infected. He also throws in a bunch of extra crap that does not move the plot along at all. Sure, there's the obligatory blood & guts. But what's up with the way too long scene where a debate rages about whether a rabbit should be let out of the trap set by the insensitive brother (made more ludicrous by a rabbit who doesn't seem to care one way or the other).
I wasn't as troubled by the SFX as some (maybe 'cause I saw it free on SYFY). And some of the film technique was OK. A couple of scenes were well crafted, in fact. The incoherent plot, terrible dialogue, and melodramatic performances ruined it though. This film makes almost no sense from a plot perspective, falling somewhere in between chapters 1 and 3, and teasing us constantly with some explanation for The Creeper's origins, leaving us on a cliffhanger where it goes unexplained as if teased for a sequel, which will obviously never happen. The other big issue is the VERY obvious and CONSTANT green screen and after effects CGI essentially. There are a few cool and unexpected kills, I guess, though, so it's not 100% a waste of time.
I must admit I'm a fan of these films so I was quite excited to hear number 3 was coming out, Then I read it's set between 1 and 2 so it was hard to enjoy it as we all know the Creeper wasn't going to die, It felt cheap and the acting was pretty bad, It had a few ok gory bits but nothing new, The ending wasn't great as I was expecting a giant battle between the police and the Creeper but nope nothing of the sort and what happened at the end just made number 2 has a huge plot hole which wasn't well thought out, It's not terrible but it's the worst in the series.
The follow-up to Jeepers Creepers is one of the oldest memories I have watching a horror movie, and while not as scary or as interesting as the first, it sure as hell is entertaining! Right from the terrific opening, this thing kicks into high gear and bodies are dropping like flies with the simple, yet effective, bus setting. The cast of young teens fit their cliches and are all pretty serviceable, with Eric Nenninger playing a fantastic asshole who you really grow to hate. You learn a bit more about the Creeper's mythology once one of the cheerleaders randomly becomes a psychic; which is retarded and they never explain it. It's by no means a good horror film, but the Creeper is a very formidable foe and I love watching him pick people off, including but not limited to, one of the most hilarious decapitations I've ever seen!
Jeepers Creepers 2' is a 2003 horror film by Victor Salva (Jeepers Creepers). The story takes off three days after the events of the previous film, as the Creeper targets a bus full of high school basketball players and cheerleaders. I like the movie, not because it is good or scary, but because it makes me laugh. The choices the people make are so dumb and predictable, and the facial expressions of the creature are just so over the top. 'Jeepers Creepers' is a good example of brainless entertainment. With Ray Wise (Robocop, Dead End), Diane Delano (The Wicker Man, The Ladykillers), Nicki Aycox (Perfect Stranger, Joy Ride 2) and a cameo of Justin Long (Jeepers Creepers, Drag Me to Hell). 'Prepare yourself, 'cause he wants to taste your fear!'
When helping his father Jack Sr. (Wise) and his older brother Jack Jr. with placing scarecrows in the cornfield, Billy Taggart is surprised by the Creeper. His family watched helplessly and stunned how the child is taken away by the flying creature.
Shortly after that, a bus of basketball players, cheerleaders, and their coaches suffer a blow out on a nearby desolated road. While bus driver Betty Borman (Delano) discovers a strange weapon made of bones sticking in the rubber, cheerleader Minxie (Aycox) is having a vision where she is warned by the victim of the first film Darry Jenner (Long) that something is lurking in the nearby cornfield. As dusk sets in, the coach decides to put flares on the road to warn other vehicles that they have stranded. But then something grabs him. And then another person gets taken. Who will escape the Creeper?
When this was first released I thought it was pretty funny but I liked it. After watching this again I found that I still enjoyed it even now. I have to admit that the Jeepers Creepers guy IS pretty freakin' creepy at points and the scene where he's just staring through the door of the bus and you first get a look at his face was very freaky. I was actually really saddened that the bus driver lady got taken out early, how BADASS would she have been against the creeper? The girl having dreams about what the deal is with the creeper I thought was a pretty ridiculous convenience but hey, it's a crappy horror movie. One thing I do love is the shots of the corn fields in that sunset haze, that is beautiful. Well, this is poorly written but I can't be bothered making it easier to read so there ya go.
