Jeepers creepers full movie spacemov movie#
I think that's why the movie gets one star. It wasn't because there was any sort of comedy, but its badness did bring me a few chuckles. And I will be honest when I say that the movie did make me laugh. I will say that this movie is obviously not meant to be taken super seriously. Boy, where do I even start? Let's just say that it's really fucking bad, everyone here is hamming it up to the tenth degree. Don't use the money that you DO have to pay for special effects that are downright laughable. And I understand that the film, really, had a very low-budget, but work to your strengths. They're kept to a minimum, but they're still really fucking bad.
And the gore that is there is so, so, SO tame that you wonder why they even bothered. The only thing that could have made this movie better, the gore, was left almost all to the imagination. Like, for example, he'd throw something like a javelin and kill two teens at the same time, javelin going through them both, but you'd just see the aftermath. The Creeper does kidnap some people and kills them, but most of them leave it the gorier details. But it's close enough to it that the horror elements are completely negated. I don't wanna call this an action film, because calling this an action film would be like calling Titanic a surrealist thriller, it's just not. That's, theoretically, what everyone wanted to see from this sequel. I wanted to see the Creeper kill some stupid teenagers doing stupid things. It's a movie about our 'heroes' trying to put a stop to the Creeper before he kills again. Another one of the major problems of the film is the fact that, in reality, this isn't actually much of a horror movie. He's just a guy wearing a really cool-looking wrestling mask. On top of that, the Creeper inspires no actual fear. I doubt that the hardcore fans are so hardcore enough that they'd be legitimately annoyed at this retcon of Jeepers Creepers "lore". It doesn't fucking matter, it's a shitty sequel to a substandard horror franchise. But just say that he broke this part of the curse or something, so he can appear whenever he wants. I know The Creeper (what an appropriate name for the villain, given that the writer/director of this film was convicted of sexual abuse of a minor and possession of child pornography in 1988, the year I was born) is supposed to appear once every 23 years on the 23rd day, so you have a limited timeframe to work within if you wanna tell your story.
Like how do you not even think about this prior to making the decision to stick with a timeline when it's almost TWO decades after the first movie came out. Who in the actual fuck cares about serialization (this isn't Breaking Bad) in a stupid, B-tier slasher flick? Watching this movie only makes sense if you watch it exactly after watching the first one and it's a bit jarring seeing the actor who plays Davis (Brandon Smith) look so old, when the events here are supposed to be taking place exactly after the original. You're thrown into the events of this film expected to know absolutely everything, right down to the smallest detail, of what happened in the previous movie(s). If the world really needed another sequel to Jeepers Creepers and, let's be honest, it didn't, why would you choose to make it a continuation of the first one and not a standalone sequel that didn't require any knowledge of the series? Talk about an incredibly stupid and shortsighted decision.
What you're watching is the events that took place between the first and second installments in the franchise. This isn't so much Jeepers Creepers 3 as much as it is Jeepers Creepers 1.5. If the idea for this movie was to bring in new fans to this franchise, then I'll tell you right now, they chose THE worst way possible to introduce people to this world and its characters. I remember seeing the original in theaters when I was 13 years old. I'm certain that the first two movies have an established fanbase that loves these two movies, though I'm perplexed as to why, exactly, they love these movies. That's a shitload of time between movies. 2017 was the date of the release the third installment in this 'cult classic'. Let us get to it, shall we? The point is that it has been seventeen years since the release of the original Jeepers Creepers and fifteen since its sequel. There's probably a shit-ton of movies that I have seen that I've forgotten about to this day. Perhaps I may have forgotten old toys that I used to love playing with. Happy moments, sad moments, tense moments. I'm talking about events from my youth that may have slipped my mind. And I'm not even talking about repressed memories, of which I'm sure I have some. I often wonder how many things from my past I have forgotten as I've gotten older.
