This was the first horror film to genuinely terrify me. The way it opens up with it making you think he's a man and then how it reveals that he's something inhuman is brilliant and scary in my opinion!
A subtle part of the film that I love is that if you pay attention to the close up shots of the Creeper, you'll see that he's going blind (his eyes are foggy and pale). Which is why he only took Darry's eyes. He did this to replace his old eyes, and because of what Darry saw in the House of Pain.
Now that the franchise is under new management, I'm willing to give it a clean slate. The creeper deserves to be up there with Freddy, JAson, Chucky, Michael and the other big wigs.
I would have died to see the film in the cinema. I’ll never forget seeing the OG cover for the first time as a little kid. It’s the all time scariest film in my opinion. It’s top 10 film of all time.
jeepers creepers I feel like is such an underrated horror film. everyone talks about the classics like scream, Halloween, nightmare on elm street, etc but this is such a good staple I feel. The first and second one are pretty good.
She never told them who the creeper was going to take, and anyway when she talked about it, she looked at Darry. I think he knew, I mean, he went to the lair, he saw what the creeper kept there, the creeper sniffed his clothes ...
She looked at Trish for sympathy-she was not implicating that it wanted Trish. That’s why she said, “You don’t understand”. When she made the phone call, she kept mentioning clues that involved Darry, and when she told him about the music playing in the background, she used the word “you” instead of saying “one of you” indicating that she was referring only to Darry
@@Threeleebird and according to the waitress....."he looked like he was enjoying it (the smell of his clothes)" 😅😅 He definitely wanted some Darry and the fact that Darry went into his lair and saw everything made it much worse for him.
Second movie states that the creeper is attracted to a certain mixture of fear and having a body part it wants so the fact that the sister was brave enough to try and die in the brothers place means she's the less fearful out of the 2
@@danaesiaterrell519 I kinda agree.. Or I've always believed this.. The fact that she seen Trisha begging the Creeper to take her and wasn't sure who he was gonna take anymore atp.
I don't know - as hilarious as it is that Shaun continuously taunts poor Tom in so many viewings - I am waiting for the day that Tom finally gets even when Shaun least expects it!
I just wanna say that the whole beginning of the movie is based off of a real life incident. everything is practically the same except for the Creeper. but instead it was a murderer. look up Unsolved Mysteries Jeeper creepers. It's an American show that showcased unsolved crimes. it's also funny you said that the creeper's place reminded you of a Cathedral. At one point one of the sequels was going to be called Cathedral.
Indeed, it was for years one of the most anticipated horror movies, ''Jeepers Creepers:Cathedral'', but then finally part 3 came out, and it was one of the worst horror movie sequels, especially his Bond-like gadgets truck was ridiculous....
Yes, the opening chase was based on a murder in Michigan, about 30 minutes away from where I live. The man killed his estranged wife in front of their kids. He has since been caught.
Don't mention that! I had to wait 3.5 hours in line at the DMV in N Miami Beach when I took the test. And they were so nasty. Not quite as nasty as the lady in Champaign, IL was, though. No wonder he was so murdery.
This is the one horror film that truly unsettles me and I find horrifying! I think it’s the lack of hope for the characters… you can’t run, you can’t hide and you can’t kill it so you’re basically screwed and likely to die a painful horrific death 💀
The scariest thing about this monster was the guy dressed up like one at a Halloween haunted house event. The dude pinned me against a crypt wall and ran his rubber tongue up my cheek. 😬
I cannot wait for you guys to one day react to 1990s "Jacob's Ladder". I mentioned before that it heavily inspired "Silent Hill". There are moments from the first three games that are straight from the movie.
@@CinemaRules awesome. I hope that "Silent Hill" is at least mentioned. I brought it up back when your channel started and yall only watched horror movies. There's probably a list somewhere that what aspects of the games came from the movie. Bergen Street is a reference I found out before watching the movie. The whole moment with the gate in the subway locked up is in "Silent Hill 3".
Such a shame you had that DVD cover. A really cool reveal in this movie is when you realize the killer is inhuman. The realization starts when he’s on top of the police car. It’s hard to get that genuine moment now that the internet exists too.
I saw the movie when I was younger without seeing any images or trailer. I thought the creeper was some serial killer I wasn’t expecting him to be some sort of demon who can fly and eat people
This is my all time favorite horror film. I grew up in the middle of nowhere so the setting and cast resembles a lot of what I saw growing up. I always felt like the creeper was following me home on my late nights back from football games or seeing my girlfriend at the time. The feeling of emptiness and nothing in this film is creepy to me. And I love how they keep the creeper hidden for most of the film. The lore is great with us never really knowing what it is. Watching this movie at only 7 years old traumatized me.
I remember watching this movie with my friend in a tent in my backyard when we were 12. We got so scared we ran inside and the oil lamp we'd been using burnt a hole through the tent wall. Horror is dangerous.
I think this film is amazing - but I think it's amazing mainly based on nostalgia. Watching back at an older age I feel like if they kept the 'identity' of the creature hidde and more ominous until the end would have been great - like you guys mentioned, in the police, not seeing it properly and people being taking out 1 by 1 would have been amazing.
This is the story Jeepers Creepers was loosely based on: There is indeed a real life inspiration for the antagonist of the Jeepers Creepers film franchise, and it's none other than real life killer Dennis DePue. For those unfamiliar with the story, DePue shot his wife in 1990 after she filed for divorce, and continued to dump her body behind an abandoned school house.
I really like this movie, and remember seeing it in theaters. The audience absolutely HATED the ending, but I loved it! Horror films should have bleak endings sometimes. The monster wins. The victims die. The end. Great reaction, guys.
This movie is very underrated and often forgotten. I hadn’t watched it for years and rewatched it last week and I think it holds up very well, I think the directing is done very well too. Like the scene with Darry in the cave and you can see the bodies just slightly in the background
@@carn9507 I know, that’s part of the reason why I didn’t watch it for years. I pirated it, he ain’t getting my money lol. He honestly shouldn’t of been aloud to make movies again including this one even if I think it’s a good movie
@@NikkieTwix As an abuse survivor myself I thank you for not defending him like some people in these comments are. They're trying to justify it by saying "oh watch it out of respect for all the other cast and crew who worked hard on it" except it's very much Salva's creation and everything in it comes from his sick mind, and all those people involved made these movies with him AFTER he was already well known and convicted as a child molester. Not before. I just don't get that. And they're saying "he did his time". No he didn't. He did about 15 months of a 3 year sentence. I wonder how many years of suffering his then 12 yr old victim had.
@@NikkieTwix Yeah. I dunno about death penalty. Too good for them. Easy way out. Victims of abuse often suffer their entire lives with the effects of what was done to them, if not physically then certainly mentally and emotionally. Only fair that the nonce suffer a life time worth too. But I do believe if they can't own certain parts of their anatomy responsibly then they should be forfeit. Used to be a thing where a thieves hands were cut off. Just an idea. It wouldn't completely stop a nonce from other ways of abusing someone, but it would hopefully be a damn fine deterrent. There ain't enough fear of the consequences of commiting such crimes.
Jeepers Creepers 1 and 2 are both very good. Part 2 expands on the mythology in some interesting ways. Unfortunately, part 3 drops the ball. I don't remember a damn thing about it. It didn't make much of an impression. I wish it had rounded off the trilogy in a satisfying way.
At the time this came out, it was a very original horror movie, but imo (over the years) the sequel is even better and way more scarier, it's a real rollercoaster ride of a movie.
Despite the director's crimes, I remember really enjoying JEEPERS CREEPERS (2001). My ex-husband and I saw it on a lark... and ended up being pleasantly surprised... especially with the siblings' interactions. None of the sequels have given me as favorable of an impression. 😱 Thanks, Shaun! Thanks, Tom!
This movie scared the SHIT outta me. I watched it at my sisters house and had to rollerblade home. The WHOLE time I kept thinking “any minute now that thing is going to swoop outta the sky and snatch me up 😳”. When the wing flaps up 🤯 -BrijouxSolo
The whole beginning scene of this movie happened. It’s on an episode of unsolved mysteries. Except it was a married couple not a brother and sister and it was a real man in a beat up car not a monster .
Fun fact and one of the most interesting occurrences of censorship I've seen is that on the original UK DVD release during the boiler room scene where we hear Danny's screams, these were edited out on the DVD likely to give the film a 15 certificate. If you were to turn the subtitles on, it still mentions the screaming and if you turn the language track to the director's commentary, the screams can be heard. Glad to see they were reinstated for 101 Films release.
For me, this movie starts to feel less scary and more cheesy when they show too much of the monster. Specifically, around the time when it's jumping over their car right before they run over it a few times. It just revealed way too much, took away the mystery and gave us something way too concrete. If they'd hidden the monster's face more, or made it never fully visible on screen (perhaps always jumping just out of frame), I think it would have been a lot more effective. Everything up until that car scene is, to me, terrifying.
The opening scene to this movie is absolutely insane. Definitely one of ny favorite horror movies, it will never get old its such a classic 🎃 *chefs kiss*
Im 51 and love the Jeepers Creepers movies. Theyre different and not as predictable as many horror movies are and the Creeper is unique in itself as a monster and looks different
Omg, I remember watching this movie when I was like 13 years old...when I tell you it TERRIFIED the hell out of me...it would be an understatement. damn. Loving your reactions for Halloween season
You guys should consider the original version of Martyrs. Its the most fucked horror that i could possibly recommend. Its a rather tough watch, but has very interesting plot. Anyways great work guys!
“What if it were you?” I would want you to go get actual help (i.e. search & rescue, the police, paramedics, the National Guard), literally anyone besides two teens who are no better equipped than I was. Derry isn’t being helpful he’s morbidly curious.
But there wouldn't be a film if they hadn't gone back there. I agree with the ratings it's a good film, I watch it from time to watch it's basic stories like this that makes it easy to rewatch something. Certain parts could've been better, mainly the later stuff at the police station.
I can't believe you guys are only watching this as adults for the first time... I have been genuinely terrified of the Jeepers Creepers monster since I was about 10 😱 I'd literally sprint home past an old hall on my way home on a night out as a teenager because it reminded me of where Jeepers Creepers initially dumped the body 🤢🤯
First time I watched Jeepers Creepers, I litterally had no expectation for it. I thought I'd watch a by the book early 2000 teenage horror movie and i was prepared to be not scared, not intellectually stimulated but having a lot of late 90's early 2000's campy fun. While the movie had that, it was surprisingly creepy and effective and easily stood up above the majority of similar films of the time.
Jeepers Creepers is one of the greatest and scariest horror movies of all time. The story, performance's, music, images, astomphere, tension, and cinematography was absolutely and positivity horrifying and terrifying. 😱😰 It was such a nail-biting and intense thrill ride as it kept me on the edge of my seat. 😱😰 Jeepers Creepers is definitely and completely a great addition in the horror genre as he will make a excellent horror icon. To this day the ending still gives me chills and goosebumps 😰😱 and I still watch it and I consider it a classic. It was decent. It never gets old. 😍💯😎👍
Dudes, love the channel! Audition and Martyrs (original) please, both incredible movies, not just horror classics, but great films all round. (And not for the squeamish!)
Btw guys a new Jeepers Creepers is coming. It's called Jeepers Creepers Reborn and is rebooting the franchise. The Rights no longer belong to Victor Salva and nor is he involved or getting any money. This is to distance the franchise from him. So Jeepers Creepers has a bright future!!!
Definitely a unique horror movie and monster concept. Remember the scene of the "House of Pain" cathedral being the stuff of nightmares for the longest.
Writer-director Victor Salva. The 59-year-old was convicted in 1988 of the sexual molestation of Nathan Forrest, the 12-year-old actor and star of his film “Clownhouse.” Salva videotaped the sexual act and was also convicted of possessing commercial videotapes and magazines containing child pornography. Salva only served 15 months of his three-year sentence, and he somehow went on to have a career in Hollywood in the years that followed. Disney hired him to direct their supernatural drama “Powder,” and Salva found his greatest success with “Jeepers Creepers,” the 2001 horror film that spawned a franchise.
He served time for his crimes. He condemned his actions. He doesn’t work on set with kids, and he’s never reoffended in the 30+ years since his arrest. People should be allowed to work towards redeeming themselves and bettering their lives after being released from prison. If we didn’t give people that opportunity, what’d be the point in releasing anyone? What’s the incentive to do better?
@@MikeyPaniker I would agree with you if it was any other crime including murder. But when it comes to children what he did is not only appalling but he deserves to never be forgiven and i hope he got what was coming to him when he was in prison
@@MikeyPaniker What the hell is wrong with you? Got no sympathy or compassion for his victim or other kids molested by rapey nonces like Salva? I can tell you as an abuse survivor myself that it NEVER goes away for us so why the hell should it go away for the sick crap who violated the child?
@@sidnew2739 I mean , i get it. It really does have a banger , amazing beginning. And Darry and Trish have much more personality than the usual horror characters. Even Jezelle is actually a great character and really adds a cool element to the film. I just feel that overall the film is a waste of the beginning. It has elements that should add up to a great horror flick , but don't.
Loved this film, really scared me until the point I realised the creeper was a monster. For me it lost its scare factor at the point, but I still enjoyed it. I remember been shocked at the end when Derry died, wasn't expecting it to be him out of the two.
This is my favorite horror film and one of the only horror films I watched as a teenager that legitimately scared me, the Creeper is a really cool looking monster and the ending shocked me more than the ending of the first Saw film. It's a real shame the director is such a disgusting person, but everyone else who worked on this film did an amazing job. The second film is also pretty enjoyable and worth a watch though it definitely leans more towards action than horror, though I'd understand if you guys were turned off from watching the second film now that you know about the director and his crimes.
Does anyone else feel really old now? This film came out the same year i was born dude. I feel so Damn old and I'm only 20. Jesus time really flies man. Great reaction guys!!!
Thank you much guys lol. I love the film, glad you enjoyed it 😊 Hope you guys do the sequel as well, but forget the third film. It's terrible. I appreciate the shout-out and how much your channel rocks 👍
If you guys plan to watch the sequels. I recommend you to watch ONLY the second part (in my opinion it’s as good as the first film), I didn't even manage to watch the third part until the end, it was so bad haha
One of my favorite horrors. Loved how they slowly peeled away it's true form. I didn't much care for the old lady part though and for sure, they had the opportunity for the creature to pick away at the cops there but perhaps it was a budget thing as well. I saw this in the theatre and it didn't last long. A rather small release from what I remember. The 2nd is a fun film so you should both definitely check it out. Takes place right after this one and you'll learn more about it too. But yeah, the first 2 movies were the best. 3rd was a disappointment.
A really enjoyable movie. It took the chace concept with the ugly truck from the movie DUEL 1971 (first Steven Spilberg's film at the age of 21). But they made it very well...
I remember liking the second one even more than the first when these came out! I have a hard time enjoying them now after learning about the writer/director though. Some things are just unforgivable 😔
Hey, jeepers creepers is a classic. I wonder what else has the director done *googles it* ..... WELP, I WASNT EXPECTING THAT (, he was charged with child sexual abuse)
Glad someone brought that up dude, he groomed a child actor & was charged & then years later allowed to make a film (3 of them) about a monster stalking kids
When the creeper was walking side to side on that road that remind me of that scene from Star Wars The Phantom Menace when Darth Maul was walking and keeping an eye on Qui-Gon Jinn
I agree with Tom. When you realize the guy is actually some kind of supernatural being it took away from the creepiness of the film. It was waaaaaay more creepy to me in the beginning when I thought it was a deranged man just killing people. One of the creepiest opening sequences of any movie I have ever seen. 😳 I think they took the concept from a story that was once on Unsolved mysteries where a couple witnessed a man at an abandoned church while driving by disposing of his wife he killed. 😨😱
I was born in 99, nothing has physical scared me more then the creeper, sure some good jump scare movies here and there. but the amount of attention this guy gets in this movie is unsettling.
I notice Tom wearing a shirt with a flower on the chest...Kinda like Darry's tattoo. When I first watched this movie, man, that ending with the Creeper staring through the head from the empty eye sockets of Darry. It made me pause for a good while. It stuck with me. My thoughts were: "Finally a horror movie which made me feel something," and couldn't find myself again for a while. I remember my dad parking at a gas station, going in to get us something, and just sitting there with that image stuck in my skull. I saw it twice in the theater. Back at a time I usually didn't. 10/10... I do understand both of your points regarding the ending. I'm glad it didn't go the Evil Dead route, though. It's more subtle than that. The Creeper only murdered and ate what it had to. Slaughtering everyone wasn't the plan. It takes time, and a methodology that maybe we humans cannot understand. Or the sickest of individuals can. The psychic lady always came in strangely for me. As well as the lady with all the cats. But I took it and don't mind it much anymore, because if you think about it, it kind of fit with the rest of the movie. A weird combo of horror, dread and quirkiness.

that is getting annoying. Shaun does that way too much.
@@ryanje8147 never gets old to me!
Tom, you need to give Shaun a slap every time he jump-scares you, otherwise he'll never learn.
I just wanna say that the whole beginning of the movie is based off of a real life incident. everything is practically the same except for the Creeper. but instead it was a murderer. look up Unsolved Mysteries Jeeper creepers. It's an American show that showcased unsolved crimes. it's also funny you said that the creeper's place reminded you of a Cathedral. At one point one of the sequels was going to be called Cathedral.
I remember watching that Unsolved Mysteries episode. That was a great show. I also go back to In Search Of from the 70’s narrated by Leonard Nimoy.
Indeed, it was for years one of the most anticipated horror movies, ''Jeepers Creepers:Cathedral'', but then finally part 3 came out, and it was one of the worst horror movie sequels, especially his Bond-like gadgets truck was ridiculous....
Yes, the opening chase was based on a murder in Michigan, about 30 minutes away from where I live. The man killed his estranged wife in front of their kids. He has since been caught.
@@peterengelen2794 Can blame budget for that.
The real creeper is the director.
I love that the Creeper has custom plates, like he went down to some Florida DMV at one point lmao
He definitely did at some point.
Don't mention that! I had to wait 3.5 hours in line at the DMV in N Miami Beach when I took the test. And they were so nasty. Not quite as nasty as the lady in Champaign, IL was, though. No wonder he was so murdery.
Honestly the creeper would be the most normal person at the "Florida" DMV. 😂
I think he stole someone elses plates that he liked hahaha
Speaking of that old cat lady, she was in the movie Clue as Mrs. Peacock. Would love to see y'all react to Clue. Classic.
Wasn't she in PRIVATE BENJAMIN?
@@smokeyverton7981 yes! Oscar nominated role.
"Clue" is fecking awesome... I'd LOVE to see that reaction! :)
Everyone needs to see Clue
She's Mrs. Dabney from across the fence on Good Luck Charlie
This is the one horror film that truly unsettles me and I find horrifying! I think it’s the lack of hope for the characters… you can’t run, you can’t hide and you can’t kill it so you’re basically screwed and likely to die a painful horrific death 💀
The scariest thing about this monster was the guy dressed up like one at a Halloween haunted house event. The dude pinned me against a crypt wall and ran his rubber tongue up my cheek. 😬
That was the director
I cannot wait for you guys to one day react to 1990s "Jacob's Ladder". I mentioned before that it heavily inspired "Silent Hill". There are moments from the first three games that are straight from the movie.
The reaction is coming later this month 😊
@@CinemaRules awesome. I hope that "Silent Hill" is at least mentioned. I brought it up back when your channel started and yall only watched horror movies. There's probably a list somewhere that what aspects of the games came from the movie.
Bergen Street is a reference I found out before watching the movie. The whole moment with the gate in the subway locked up is in "Silent Hill 3".
@@CinemaRules Good choice!
@@CinemaRules such a good film you wont regret it
@@christophermcbride2522 Why are you assuming they played the games lol not everyone plays video games
Such a shame you had that DVD cover. A really cool reveal in this movie is when you realize the killer is inhuman. The realization starts when he’s on top of the police car. It’s hard to get that genuine moment now that the internet exists too.
I saw the movie when I was younger without seeing any images or trailer. I thought the creeper was some serial killer I wasn’t expecting him to be some sort of demon who can fly and eat people
This is my all time favorite horror film. I grew up in the middle of nowhere so the setting and cast resembles a lot of what I saw growing up. I always felt like the creeper was following me home on my late nights back from football games or seeing my girlfriend at the time. The feeling of emptiness and nothing in this film is creepy to me. And I love how they keep the creeper hidden for most of the film. The lore is great with us never really knowing what it is. Watching this movie at only 7 years old traumatized me.
I remember watching this movie with my friend in a tent in my backyard when we were 12. We got so scared we ran inside and the oil lamp we'd been using burnt a hole through the tent wall. Horror is dangerous.
I think this film is amazing - but I think it's amazing mainly based on nostalgia. Watching back at an older age I feel like if they kept the 'identity' of the creature hidde and more ominous until the end would have been great - like you guys mentioned, in the police, not seeing it properly and people being taking out 1 by 1 would have been amazing.
This is the story Jeepers Creepers was loosely based on:
There is indeed a real life inspiration for the antagonist of the Jeepers Creepers film franchise, and it's none other than real life killer Dennis DePue. For those unfamiliar with the story, DePue shot his wife in 1990 after she filed for divorce, and continued to dump her body behind an abandoned school house.
I really like this movie, and remember seeing it in theaters. The audience absolutely HATED the ending, but I loved it! Horror films should have bleak endings sometimes. The monster wins. The victims die. The end. Great reaction, guys.
I would go further- MOST horrorfilms
should have bleak endings.
@@sidnew2739 Ehh, if they all started having bleak endings, it wouldn't be nearly as impactful.
Oh man i would have loved to see an audience reaction to this film unfortunately I was still a baby when it was in theaters lol
@@irvinalexanderflores Pfff, mediocre movie, really nothing special.
This movie is very underrated and often forgotten. I hadn’t watched it for years and rewatched it last week and I think it holds up very well, I think the directing is done very well too. Like the scene with Darry in the cave and you can see the bodies just slightly in the background
it's directed and written by a convicted child molester.
@@carn9507 I know, that’s part of the reason why I didn’t watch it for years. I pirated it, he ain’t getting my money lol. He honestly shouldn’t of been aloud to make movies again including this one even if I think it’s a good movie
@@NikkieTwix As an abuse survivor myself I thank you for not defending him like some people in these comments are. They're trying to justify it by saying "oh watch it out of respect for all the other cast and crew who worked hard on it" except it's very much Salva's creation and everything in it comes from his sick mind, and all those people involved made these movies with him AFTER he was already well known and convicted as a child molester. Not before. I just don't get that. And they're saying "he did his time". No he didn't. He did about 15 months of a 3 year sentence. I wonder how many years of suffering his then 12 yr old victim had.
@@carn9507 yes I don’t agree with that at all. I do like the movie but honestly I think all convicted pedophiles should get automatic death penalty
@@NikkieTwix Yeah. I dunno about death penalty. Too good for them. Easy way out. Victims of abuse often suffer their entire lives with the effects of what was done to them, if not physically then certainly mentally and emotionally. Only fair that the nonce suffer a life time worth too. But I do believe if they can't own certain parts of their anatomy responsibly then they should be forfeit. Used to be a thing where a thieves hands were cut off. Just an idea. It wouldn't completely stop a nonce from other ways of abusing someone, but it would hopefully be a damn fine deterrent. There ain't enough fear of the consequences of commiting such crimes.
Jeepers Creepers 1 and 2 are both very good. Part 2 expands on the mythology in some interesting ways. Unfortunately, part 3 drops the ball. I don't remember a damn thing about it. It didn't make much of an impression. I wish it had rounded off the trilogy in a satisfying way.
Lol sequels don't end till one of them drops the ball. #3 would not have been the last if it was good.
@@ckobo84 Well, end the trilogy in the sense of three good ones. Then they can keep making shit movies. And one day reboot it.
Part 3 Takes place the same night as Part 1 after the Creeper took Darry
@@nightshadewinter6915 yes but it's not good
@@nightshadewinter6915 yeah don't waste your time with 3.
This movie got me, seeing up in the sky, praying, and traumatized as a kid. Till this day I can’t watch it.
At the time this came out, it was a very original horror movie, but imo (over the years) the sequel is even better and way more scarier, it's a real rollercoaster ride of a movie.
Despite the director's crimes, I remember really enjoying JEEPERS CREEPERS (2001). My ex-husband and I saw it on a lark... and ended up being pleasantly surprised... especially with the siblings' interactions. None of the sequels have given me as favorable of an impression. 😱 Thanks, Shaun! Thanks, Tom!
This movie scared the SHIT outta me. I watched it at my sisters house and had to rollerblade home. The WHOLE time I kept thinking “any minute now that thing is going to swoop outta the sky and snatch me up 😳”.
When the wing flaps up 🤯
-BrijouxSolo
The whole beginning scene of this movie happened. It’s on an episode of unsolved mysteries. Except it was a married couple not a brother and sister and it was a real man in a beat up car not a monster .
The cave full of dead bodies on the ceiling and walls definitely never happened.
Unsolved mysteries episode
m.ua-cam.com/video/O-pmaY2j8w0/v-deo.html
@@sidnew2739 they said the BEGINNING scene wtf
Fun fact and one of the most interesting occurrences of censorship I've seen is that on the original UK DVD release during the boiler room scene where we hear Danny's screams, these were edited out on the DVD likely to give the film a 15 certificate. If you were to turn the subtitles on, it still mentions the screaming and if you turn the language track to the director's commentary, the screams can be heard. Glad to see they were reinstated for 101 Films release.
"Beatin' Goo" is the best license plate interpretation ever.
well technically he thought it said 'beating you' but it really said 'be eating you'
For me, this movie starts to feel less scary and more cheesy when they show too much of the monster. Specifically, around the time when it's jumping over their car right before they run over it a few times. It just revealed way too much, took away the mystery and gave us something way too concrete. If they'd hidden the monster's face more, or made it never fully visible on screen (perhaps always jumping just out of frame), I think it would have been a lot more effective. Everything up until that car scene is, to me, terrifying.
I thought that at first too but at the end when his face opens up and he screams you realize we didn't see all of him until then
Tom, you need to give Shaun a slap every time he jump-scares you, otherwise he'll never learn.
Justin long is always SO GOOD but so unappreciated, darry was so pure🥺
The opening scene to this movie is absolutely insane. Definitely one of ny favorite horror movies, it will never get old its such a classic 🎃 *chefs kiss*
Im 51 and love the Jeepers Creepers movies. Theyre different and not as predictable as many horror movies are and the Creeper is unique in itself as a monster and looks different
Omg, I remember watching this movie when I was like 13 years old...when I tell you it TERRIFIED the hell out of me...it would be an understatement. damn. Loving your reactions for Halloween season
You guys should watch Wrong Turn (2003) for Halloween Month, I think you guys would like it.
The first two Wrong Turn films are best to me, I also enjoy the third. After that,
Kinda garbage lol
7:48 That shot is a very Hitchcockian in a way
You guys should consider the original version of Martyrs. Its the most fucked horror that i could possibly recommend. Its a rather tough watch, but has very interesting plot. Anyways great work guys!
Even the original martyrs is nothing more than dumb, pseudo-intellectual torture-porn.
Ah yes "torture porn" the modern hipster's favorite label to devalue anything with brutality nowadays
@@HunterSThompson123 "hipsters"? How old are you?
@@sidnew2739 it's label is new french extremity. Torture Porn was what followed after those movies when America got involved.
@@aaronking5640 Label it as you want, it's still torture-porn.
The decision to check if that persons still alive, doesn't make Darry an idiot. It makes him a DECENT HUMAN BEING.
It does make him a decent human being, but it also makes him an idiot haha
“What if it were you?”
I would want you to go get actual help (i.e. search & rescue, the police, paramedics, the National Guard), literally anyone besides two teens who are no better equipped than I was. Derry isn’t being helpful he’s morbidly curious.
Yeah but he would have had no way to help the person, how is he supposed to get the person out lol
His decision makes him a decent human moron.
But there wouldn't be a film if they hadn't gone back there. I agree with the ratings it's a good film, I watch it from time to watch it's basic stories like this that makes it easy to rewatch something. Certain parts could've been better, mainly the later stuff at the police station.
I was literally just talking about this movie last night, love you both for this reaction!
One of the most disturbing and haunting endings of all time!
I can't believe you guys are only watching this as adults for the first time... I have been genuinely terrified of the Jeepers Creepers monster since I was about 10 😱 I'd literally sprint home past an old hall on my way home on a night out as a teenager because it reminded me of where Jeepers Creepers initially dumped the body 🤢🤯
First time I watched Jeepers Creepers, I litterally had no expectation for it.
I thought I'd watch a by the book early 2000 teenage horror movie and i was prepared to be not scared, not intellectually stimulated but having a lot of late 90's early 2000's campy fun.
While the movie had that, it was surprisingly creepy and effective and easily stood up above the majority of similar films of the time.
Jeepers Creepers is one of the greatest and scariest horror movies of all time. The story, performance's, music, images, astomphere, tension, and cinematography was absolutely and positivity horrifying and terrifying. 😱😰 It was such a nail-biting and intense thrill ride as it kept me on the edge of my seat. 😱😰 Jeepers Creepers is definitely and completely a great addition in the horror genre as he will make a excellent horror icon. To this day the ending still gives me chills and goosebumps 😰😱 and I still watch it and I consider it a classic. It was decent. It never gets old. 😍💯😎👍
Glad to see you guys are reacting to this classic 😀 also I loved the part 2 as well
"It's a crow. It's a big crow man." Lmfao
Dudes, love the channel!
Audition and Martyrs (original) please, both incredible movies, not just horror classics, but great films all round. (And not for the squeamish!)
Btw guys a new Jeepers Creepers is coming. It's called Jeepers Creepers Reborn and is rebooting the franchise. The Rights no longer belong to Victor Salva and nor is he involved or getting any money. This is to distance the franchise from him. So Jeepers Creepers has a bright future!!!
One of the best horror movies in my opinion! Please react to the second film as well.
I only now realized on this rewatch with you guys that his license plate doesn't read "beating you" but "be eating you"
One of the creepiest unsettling films ever and really has no violence gore or blood
When you have Victor Salva directing you don't need violence, gore or blood. He himself is disgusting enough
Definitely a unique horror movie and monster concept. Remember the scene of the "House of Pain" cathedral being the stuff of nightmares for the longest.
Writer-director Victor Salva. The 59-year-old was convicted in 1988 of the sexual molestation of Nathan Forrest, the 12-year-old actor and star of his film “Clownhouse.” Salva videotaped the sexual act and was also convicted of possessing commercial videotapes and magazines containing child pornography.
Salva only served 15 months of his three-year sentence, and he somehow went on to have a career in Hollywood in the years that followed. Disney hired him to direct their supernatural drama “Powder,” and Salva found his greatest success with “Jeepers Creepers,” the 2001 horror film that spawned a franchise.
This needs to be the top comment. More people need to know about this human garbage.
He served time for his crimes. He condemned his actions. He doesn’t work on set with kids, and he’s never reoffended in the 30+ years since his arrest. People should be allowed to work towards redeeming themselves and bettering their lives after being released from prison. If we didn’t give people that opportunity, what’d be the point in releasing anyone? What’s the incentive to do better?
@@MikeyPaniker lmao "served his time". 15 months for destroying a kid's life, he should be in prison for the rest of his life.
@@MikeyPaniker I would agree with you if it was any other crime including murder. But when it comes to children what he did is not only appalling but he deserves to never be forgiven and i hope he got what was coming to him when he was in prison
@@MikeyPaniker What the hell is wrong with you? Got no sympathy or compassion for his victim or other kids molested by rapey nonces like Salva? I can tell you as an abuse survivor myself that it NEVER goes away for us so why the hell should it go away for the sick crap who violated the child?
This channel is reminding me that I shouldn't have been watching these movies as young as I was
Watching this now makes me feel so old dude. I was born the year Jeepers Creepers came out.
I love how everyone has the same reactions towards Darry going back to the pipe.
The second one is pretty good also. I actually like it a little bit more than the first one
This movie scared the hell out of me the first time I saw it. That scene in the underground of the church truly disturbed me
The first 30 minutes of this film is an amazing horror film beginning. As soon as the actual Creeper is revealed , it is all downhill for 3 films.
That's what I always thought too. The first 30 minutes are absolutely terrifying.
Exactly. I never understood the praise for this movie.
@@sidnew2739 I mean , i get it. It really does have a banger , amazing beginning. And Darry and Trish have much more personality than the usual horror characters. Even Jezelle is actually a great character and really adds a cool element to the film. I just feel that overall the film is a waste of the beginning. It has elements that should add up to a great horror flick , but don't.
Loved this film, really scared me until the point I realised the creeper was a monster. For me it lost its scare factor at the point, but I still enjoyed it. I remember been shocked at the end when Derry died, wasn't expecting it to be him out of the two.
This is my favorite horror film and one of the only horror films I watched as a teenager that legitimately scared me, the Creeper is a really cool looking monster and the ending shocked me more than the ending of the first Saw film. It's a real shame the director is such a disgusting person, but everyone else who worked on this film did an amazing job. The second film is also pretty enjoyable and worth a watch though it definitely leans more towards action than horror, though I'd understand if you guys were turned off from watching the second film now that you know about the director and his crimes.
Does anyone else feel really old now? This film came out the same year i was born dude. I feel so Damn old and I'm only 20. Jesus time really flies man. Great reaction guys!!!
Thank you much guys lol. I love the film, glad you enjoyed it 😊
Hope you guys do the sequel as well, but forget the third film. It's terrible.
I appreciate the shout-out and how much your channel rocks 👍
Part 2 is very good too and different. Really like the situation the characters find themselves experiencing.
If you guys plan to watch the sequels. I recommend you to watch ONLY the second part (in my opinion it’s as good as the first film), I didn't even manage to watch the third part until the end, it was so bad haha
Yeah, agree. The opening of the second one still freaks me out today.
And pirate the movie. Don’t give the scum bag director any money.
Only thing that is a bigger monster than the Creeper is the guy who produced that movie. Total monster.
One of my favorite horrors. Loved how they slowly peeled away it's true form. I didn't much care for the old lady part though and for sure, they had the opportunity for the creature to pick away at the cops there but perhaps it was a budget thing as well. I saw this in the theatre and it didn't last long. A rather small release from what I remember. The 2nd is a fun film so you should both definitely check it out. Takes place right after this one and you'll learn more about it too. But yeah, the first 2 movies were the best. 3rd was a disappointment.
Your ratings are perfect. I love this movie because it's fun. Jeepers Creepers II is also fun.
Two years later, they still haven't done Jeepers Creepers 2..😢
This movie scared the fuck out of me as a child. Now as an adult it’s top 10 movie for me.
Buffy The Vampire Slayer!!! where are you when we need ya!!! Buffy would have busted Jeepers Creepers down in one episode LOL
Its implied that the Trish has bad eyesight in the beggining as she is seen with glasses. Always liked that little hint.
At 20:45, all I could think of was: nana nana nana nana nana nana BATMAN!
Check out Joy Ride.
A really enjoyable movie. It took the chace concept with the ugly truck from the movie DUEL 1971 (first Steven Spilberg's film at the age of 21). But they made it very well...
I remember liking the second one even more than the first when these came out! I have a hard time enjoying them now after learning about the writer/director though. Some things are just unforgivable 😔
@Dave Sykes I only watched them once and just thought they were okay.
@Dave Sykes Wait what did the director of the godfather do? Francis ford coppola
The director of this movie is more terrifying than the creeper!
Who cares
The really creepy part of this movie is the guy who made it.
No, the really creepy part is the people who are unable to separate art from life.
@@erikjohnson3859 Really, that's creepy to you? That is some world view you got there
@@basquat76 I'm capable of looking at a piece of art objectively because I have a brain.
@@erikjohnson3859 yes a big brain, cause you re a big boy, you have a big boy brain
@@basquat76 I didnt say big. I just said brain.
Funny how you project about the size of your brain though, huh?
Interesting fact: at 18:29 the police man with the pistol is Jonathan Breck, the actual guy that played Jeepers in the first two movies
Hey, jeepers creepers is a classic. I wonder what else has the director done *googles it* ..... WELP, I WASNT EXPECTING THAT (, he was charged with child sexual abuse)
This should not be news to anyone. Many channels refuse to even acknowledge this series for that very reason. Rightly so. Salva can get in the bin.
Pizzagate is real
And he is more of a monster than the Jeeper !
Glad someone brought that up dude, he groomed a child actor & was charged & then years later allowed to make a film (3 of them) about a monster stalking kids
I'm curious why this is just now become a big deal. His prison record has been public knowledge for over 25 years.
When the creeper was walking side to side on that road that remind me of that scene from Star Wars The Phantom Menace when Darth Maul was walking and keeping an eye on Qui-Gon Jinn
I agree with Tom. When you realize the guy is actually some kind of supernatural being it took away from the creepiness of the film.
It was waaaaaay more creepy to me in the beginning when I thought it was a deranged man just killing people. One of the creepiest opening sequences of any movie I have ever seen. 😳
I think they took the concept from a story that was once on Unsolved mysteries where a couple witnessed a man at an abandoned church while driving by disposing of his wife he killed. 😨😱
I watched Jeepers Creepers 2 recently. It was quite good. Different cast of characters but neatly connected back to this first one.
Can't believe this movie came out 20 years ago
4 classic horror movie reviews down and only 8 more to go. Keep up the good work, guys.
Yes. Been waiting for this since the birth of cinema rules😂
I was born in 99, nothing has physical scared me more then the creeper, sure some good jump scare movies here and there. but the amount of attention this guy gets in this movie is unsettling.
Horror movies suggestions: Hostel, Grave Encounters, Piranha 3D, Sinister, Wrong Turn, The Descent.
The scene wen the RV turns off the street always gives me the chills. It’s like they knew that street was cursed or something.
I notice Tom wearing a shirt with a flower on the chest...Kinda like Darry's tattoo.
When I first watched this movie, man, that ending with the Creeper staring through the head from the empty eye sockets of Darry. It made me pause for a good while. It stuck with me. My thoughts were: "Finally a horror movie which made me feel something," and couldn't find myself again for a while. I remember my dad parking at a gas station, going in to get us something, and just sitting there with that image stuck in my skull. I saw it twice in the theater. Back at a time I usually didn't.
10/10...
I do understand both of your points regarding the ending. I'm glad it didn't go the Evil Dead route, though. It's more subtle than that. The Creeper only murdered and ate what it had to. Slaughtering everyone wasn't the plan. It takes time, and a methodology that maybe we humans cannot understand. Or the sickest of individuals can.
The psychic lady always came in strangely for me. As well as the lady with all the cats. But I took it and don't mind it much anymore, because if you think about it, it kind of fit with the rest of the movie. A weird combo of horror, dread and quirkiness.
No matter the opinions, this is still a classic film. Loving spooky season!
Absolutely love this one! It genuinely creeped me out when I saw it in the cinema!
