JEEPERS CREEPERS an underrated horror movie?

Do you that the JEEPERS CREEPERS movies are underrated? I thought the first movie was GREAT! second one was ok. . . But in general, I think it dosen't get recognized it should. Especially the Creeper. He's a great character! I think he's underrated as well. What do you think?

JEEPERS CREEPERS an underrated horror movie?
I agree with townie and abbynormal. The first part of the movie was terrific-when the kids are driving down the road and they pass the Creeper by the side of the road...creepy! But having him be this supernatural creature...not scary at all. Abbynormal's dead on: having him be a creepy human would have been much scarier than what the Creeper turned out to be.
Reply:i love the 1st and 2end movie they were both great
Reply:I will fully agree with you. The first one was great. The second one still really good. you dont see this very often with lower budget horrors. The monster has a great bases and is really well done. I wish that they would make a number 3
Reply:I thought the first few minutes of the first movie were great. They ruined it by making the guy behind the wheel a fricking demon (or whatever he was). It had great potential... all ruined by the "Creeper." They should have had it be some crazy whacked out man. Woulda seemed more plausible.
Reply:I disagree with you: I saw the original Jeepers Creepers (although I never saw the sequal), and I thought it was one of the worst horror films I'd ever seen. I tend to really dislike movies that don't really give any backstory as to why what happens happens.

Reply:that movie started off great then near the end it turned foolish to me,evil dead was a great classic if you didnt see it
Reply:I thought it did ok.


They didn't take much time


making a second movie.
Reply:I agree that the Creeper was cool but the movies sucked. Where did he come from? Who is he? Cats are afraid of him...okay we know that, and he likes the song jeepers creepers. Other than that we don't know anything about him. The movie could have had a better story line. Maybe Rob Zombie can re make it.

Reply:I thought the movie where the kids are on the school bus out in the country was terrifying, that thing was absolutely frightening!
Reply:I thought it was more like a comedy than a horror movie, especially the second one where the creature was licking the high school bus window, so funny.
Reply:yes, i agree. the first 20 or so minutes of the first movie was brilliantly done. the ending or reveal of the creeper did kill it for me, but not so much that i didnt see the 2nd. once u accept it's a supernatural horror, u live w/ the man-bat-thing concept. as far as backstory, i love that as much as the next person, but i think not knowing what or who he is adds to the terror. u are experiencing him as his victims would. plus, knowing what he is could give u insight into how to kill him, if possible. i'm not ready to kill him yet.
Reply:I actually thought the movie was even more OVER rated when it was called a horrendous piece of cinematic fecal matter.
Reply:My mom loves those movies.... she has seen them a dozen times and still gets creeped out..... his face is so sadistic! Totally underrated
