Better than reborn by a long way, an amazing movie.
brooksam-9952927 May 2023
I'm a crazy horror buff, i have all the movies on bluray and this one is a must have.

This is what I want of a horror movie! Great plot, some sort of crazy stalking, and a monster.

Watch this movie because you get great shots, great directing and great acting... and a monster which is horrible (in a great way) the old look is back and more terrifying than ever before.

It does a great job of creating suspense, and it has some pretty good gore, but not an unnecessary amount. I'd say it's well balanced throughout the movie with energy, gore, and suspense being just the right way at just the right time.

Completely beyond my expectations.
finksteve28 May 2023
The original Jeepers Creepers scared me a lot when it was released, and i´ve seen all of them, so i was eager to see this fan film, and it´s better than the last one and it doesn´t take much to be better, since the beginning of the movie me and my wife looked at each other and said (this is gonna be good) and we were right, the warlock is a creepy guy saying some strange words to rise of the creeper, once he is out of his tomb, we him tracking down humans again, like before.

When you think the movie ends, there´s still room, for a post credits scene, maybe there´s a sequel down the line, one can only hope, after this one.

Monster madness amazing movie.
deansavior28 May 2023
On its own merits, the better you understand the story, the more interesting it is. As for the shape the plot has, the cinematography was very good, the actors were good, the music was phenomenal.

The film has a nice blend of subtle and intense horror elements and I love the gore. The settings down the pipe was so well created.

The truck is awesome, and it has a lot of screen time, along with the creeper, chasing his victims.

As low budget they introduced new elements to the legend of the creeper that interested me a lot.

There's nothing I don't like about this movie so here's a surprise rating: 8/10.

The ancient demon creeper has returned.
joaquimfragoso29 May 2023
This is dark tale like no other, has been done before, we see a warlock in a dark forest summoning the creeper along with the power of his crows, to ravage again, he awakens and the killing start.

The kills in this movie are really good, even the ones of screen are full of gore, one guy is cutted in half and his remains are left hanging on the ceilling.

It's well directed. Every aspect was executed perfectly, as a fan film is one of the best i´ve ever seen.

The camera shots, the settings, the soundtrack, the makeup, the truck, it´s all there.

Reborn last year was an atrocity, this one put thing right, see it.

This movie rocked with the true creeper.
albertginger27 May 2023
I must say, I was expecting a lot worse from this film. The whole first half is genuinely scary, inside the castle, the catacombs, all of them, liked the scene where he is making his weapons, it feels both a sequel and a prequel.

Second the atmosphere, yes there is gore, but the movie doesn't focus on that, it focuses on tension and suspense.

Third, the characters, they are well acted, well developed,and feel real.

The effects are great, and so is the main villain, the Creeper, this time around we see that he comes from hell, which makes him even more scary, the setting was good, and the pacing was awesome.

The shadows are alive inside the creeper´s home.
joanamendes-3668329 May 2023
I watched the movies last night and was amazed by it´s quality, for me it´s the best movie Constantino´s ever did.

The new design of the monster looked great and was more close to the original one.

The truck looks the same, but the engine his better as the truck moves along at an incredible speed, the drone shots of it, are great.

This creature is not really evil, just needs to feed and is an artist, intelligent and talented. That made a good connection with me.

The movie itself is wonderfull, dark and gothic, and the shadows inside the castle, create a wonderfull harmony and feelings on the viewer.

I give an 8 because of my feelings than anything else.

Scary follow up of the franchise.
josephdredd29 May 2023
With fantastic practical effects, great lighting, above average cinematography, and it doesn't even take place in a house! You can feel a grand scale to this film, something that's uncommon in many modern horror movies these days.

There are some scary and surprising moments in this film and you don't know who the Creeper will get next!

In My opinion there are some original and bizarre scenes.

ThIs one is a much better movie then the last one, wich was a true horror.

Summing up: An above average thriller of its kind, if you like this saga you will love this, because everybody did a good work with what they had.

Sharp and surprising sequel
batistavieira27 May 2023
A very entertaining film, whose script is cleverly written and which has some sharp and enjoyable dialogues. The cast is also good.

Definitely one of Constantino´s best works.

This is a b movie done right, jeepers creepers is back baby, and if they do more i´m here for it.

The prologue has something new and unique to it.

The soundtrack is excellent and the special effects are really good, for a movie fan like this.

All of the above being said, if the movie was on cable on a cold winter night, I'd probably watch it again, it's certainly better than most in it's category, it´s so awesome, ohhh almost forgot and the truck has enought screen time.

Evil is everywhere.
petersund-6170731 May 2023
It's an interesting concept, and a double-edged sword: it creates an urgency for the creeper as it stalks its prey, but it also causes extreme limitations because the creeper is only around for that limited period of time.

The acting in this movie is about what you would expect from a slasher. It's campy, but nobody approaches one of those movies expecting a Shakespearean production.

It was creepy, had some good jump scares and enough gorey horror content to satisfy the youthful audience, as for me i liked it.

It´s got a good pace to it, and never slows down wich is great.

I´m giving it 8.5, because it sets up a sequel real good.

The castle of the Creeper is even scarier.
jamiestrong-0933029 May 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The Creeper, the villain of this horror film, is easily one of the most terrifying villains of horror in a long time. The way he looks, what he wears, his truck, what he does. All of it is horrifying. I proudly tilt my hat to whoever did the makeup for this fan film, because it´s really near the makeup of the first two films.

Not much blood and guts like your average slasher film. But a great method of suspense that will scare you when you are at home alone.

The killer starts stalking them, but he isn't what they think he is, he is a demonic creature who feeds on human body parts, and we see a lot of them in the few old houses he haves, and a castle, the scenes of the castle were the best, and that alone, put this movie on the map.

Overall, this is a nicely made horror film with some flaws here and there.

A Satisfying horror sequel.
afonsosiao26 May 2023
Warning: Spoilers
What is this creature ? It's a flesh eating creature that comes out every 23rd spring for 23 years.

And this time we get to finally see where did he came from, the director created a great idea for the creeper to live in an old castle in decay.

His old truck us back, so the creeper hunts various victims on this one mainly at night, almost everyone in this dies, nobody stands a chance against him, he´s always one step ahead of them, we also got Savage a guy that´s leading the creeper hunters to kill him, he tries, but fails miserably cause it´s not so easy to kill this creature, the movie has many ideas that manage to keep the audience hooked, i was.

Better than reborn by a mile, and this is a fan movie.

Needless to say go watch it and you won´t regret it, for me it´s the best sequel we could have, since that terrible reborn movie.

In conclusion, great fun film.
jamesstyg4 June 2023
In this film, i do, however, think we see to much of the creeper, which makes it appear less scary. In the first film, the creeper always wore black so it's appearance was masked. In this film, his the creeper is fully exposed leaving nothing to the imagination.

The acting was nothing special but when do these movies ever have anything special from that department. Their purpose is to further the plot and to die.

I would recomend this movie to pretty much anybody who likes horror movies or who like dark plots I think it was just as good as the first movie if not just a bit better in some ways.

Good movie and a wonderful creeper.
jesusorales4 June 2023
I loved the movie. It has a nice old school horror feel to it, and was shot beautifully. Quite atmospheric. Creeper looks fantastic. Great kills. I'd say it's better than anything i saw lately.

I love the moments when the creature pauses and floats in the air. I love jeepers creepers. Make more jeepers creepers movies. They are great especially when you are super bored. I love the way he dresses and he is really scary with magic powers.

And I'm looking forward to more...please sir make more movies or the creeper or something similar, i´m a real fan.

I watched it twice in one sitting. It's really not hard to follow.

Way better than i was expecting, way better.
antunesesteves27 May 2023
This exciting movie brings back the original monster, displays terror, suspense, cannibalism, thrills, and lots of blood and gore. The genuinely scary monster packs an excellent make-up.

It has some good cinematography., especially at night.

Its so damn good, i´ve already seen it two times, and am going to see it more, way, way better than reborn, and maybe the third one, it´s on the same page as the frist two movies, the suspense and tension is there, we get a lot of backstory that we havent´s before so i´m all for this.

It is more fun and more exciting to watch with your whole family or friends while you all chill and relax having popcorn and drinking pepsi!

An amazing return to form of the Creeper.
chintonping28 May 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Interesting storytelling with unique and creative cinematography, outstanding direction and a well written screenplay. Genuinely frightening shots that filled with tension and scare. Fantastic and breathtaking CGI with stupendous practical effects.

The second unit's work on the green screen FX looks a bit off but it still works. I am surprised how they made this movie on such a low budget like this.

One scene is amazingly well done, a boy is digested by the creature and he is still alive and his face starts to change as the creature eats him, awesome effects on that scene.

The movie also slightly expands on the lore early on, which I certainly can appreciate.

A modern day B Movie fan film.
Deaconfingers27 May 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The film starts of as others have said, keen on generating tension, uncertainty and foreboding.

The creeper elevates himself from the bounds of hell after a warlock summons him, the prologue sets things right.

And then we go to the awakening day were he stalks his prey he goes from place to place finding new victims to kill and eat, and we really got some special things here, a pursuit of a boy trough the forest, an attack on a farmhouse, an exploding barn, the creepers hunters led by savage (he just wants to blow him up) i liked this character.

The mayor appears in small cameo by director Rui Constantino, and we have the truck, without it this wouldn´t feel right.

All in all a satisfying creation, so i´m giving it an 8, better than that abominable reborn remake, that was just awful, this one i really liked a lot.

Love the Creeper even more now after this one.
carlyjones-6694728 May 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Where to start, i don´t even know, well the cast did a terrific job, at make me scared of the creature, and it worked, the curse of pogo county is back, and this time we get to see where he comes from, that alone makes me want to have the bluray of this.

The witch doctor bringing the creeper to our world is something for the ages, and savage and his hunters tracking him down is another thing i liked, it´s just like seeing some team hunting a beast in the jungle.

I´ve always loved the franchise, but after that awful reborn crap it was doomed, until i saw this one, and all my hopes were really reborned.

The mystical creature is back with his truck, and weapons, the chasing of his victims becomes real enought to make me wondering where is he ????

I was always looking at the screen to see if i could guess where he was before he strikes, one of the best kills of the movie is the guy alone in the house, the light inside the house made the scene even more terrifying.

As a fan film this is one of the best.

My love for this franchise has risen again.

Fantastic fan film.
jonessilk4 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This movie packs a wallop! It scares the living daylights out of you, and that's just the first 10 minutes! I had high expectations for this film, and they were met (and succeeded) in every department. The story was very creepy, sort of the campfire story you would tell to your friends on a Saturday night. The cast is awesome, especially with the head hunter Savage this guy packs a punch when blows up a barn just to get rid of the creeper.

This is a classic for short films, i´m sure of that.

This movie can be watched many times, because the time is well spent, we get what we deserve, the creeper, the killings and the truck.

Its an edge-of-your-seat, pulse-pounding horror thriller...
bochenkosig27 May 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Jeepers creepers returns brings the creeper back in a most unique way, attached with a fine prequel story that explains where the creature came from.

For me this is top notch, because i´ve always wanted to know more about the creature itself, is objective and why he drives that ugly truck.

The cast is good, the sets are amazing especially inside the castle, the horror vibes brings me back to the old hammer classics.

Dungeons, bodies all over the place, some of them cutted in half, legs, arms, the level of violence reminds me of texas chainsaw massacre.

The creeper uses human parts to continue his journey of horror.

Close the curtains, grab your popcorn and be ready to be scared, the Creeper is coming to get you.

First 10 minutes, Interesting start, I'm sold.
horrorsociety-8483428 May 2023

The creeper is great, it's not some amazing creation of story, but a thrilling, well executed creature feature.

It´s an independent production, but they took their budget to good use with this movie.

The main character here is the creeper, we get to follow his path to reach his victims.

The other main character is a leader of the pack of hunters, that wants to teach him a lesson, he manages to make a trap for the creature with a human prey, but fails.

I´m thinking that in the future they will make a sequel, and this guy his returning to finish the job he was hired to do.

The film kept getting more and more intense as it progressed, and completely unpredictable, an ending that leaves room for more.

A solid monster horror flick.
theoriginalpunisher27 May 2023
Warning: Spoilers
First off we see a new approach to creepers myth, we start off in 1590 were a warlock summons the creeper to earth from hell (this one was awesome) and very well done.

Then we go to the present were the town of pogo county knows that the creeper has awakened the hunters are waiting for him, a guy named savage leads his team to capture and kill it and this guy a menacing man, the way he talks we emerge ourselfs in his character and i dig that a lot, kudos to him for doing what is done here.

This is a traditional.run and hunt game between the creature and the hunters, how long can they take to catch him and kill him, and how long can the creature prey on his victims.

A very well done portuguese fan movie, that brings us what we all want from a movie like this.

A return that for me was abysmal.

An effective horror sequel, that brings good elements.
carlinhoscafe28 May 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Its fast, tense and definitely exciting. The plot is consistent and will keep audiences excited as we see a warlock in a dark woods saying some strange words along with some guys in hoods to summon the creeper from hell.

What happens next is amazing as we see the creeper living in an old castle, we get to see his first truck ever all covered in rust, and the truck from previous movies, that is the one beatngu has now, the truck is all over the place on this one, it moves alone like in JC3, and does several attacks using it the scenes are intense, and we see how the characters behave with fear in the presence of this monster.

The acting is great, the sets, soundtrack and special F/X is cool, even the wings of the creeper are better than the ones on reborn.

Easily better than reborn.
jamesonslau29 May 2023
Warning: Spoilers
First off: the beginning of the movie sets things right to the lore of the creature, next we go to present day were a mayor of pogo county hires savage and his hunters to track and kill the monster, and they have a good trap just for him.

The creature moves through town on his truck and on his wings killing and stalking in daytime as well as night time, we see a lot of cool make up effects, the creeper´s costume and face, looks very much similar as the original one, wich makes me clap for them.

The soundtrack is good taking us in the direction of fear and tension as the creature moves silently through the shadows of the forest.

The sets are amazing for a low budget like this.

9/10.

Jeepers Creepers done right
AlSanders8131 May 2023
And here we have another of Constantino's movies! This time it's Jeepers Creepers! He tackeled it just right, without the usual slasher mistakes we often see in other movies.

But he already has gotten us used to hard work and careful writting.

So we have Miguel D. Dias as Savage, the Creeper hunter leader, and he brings us another of his unique performances.

The Last Road Studios crew did yet another great job, so congrats to you guys.

It's another must watch for all Jeepers Creeper fans out there. Take a seat, sink in and get ready for a great time watching the origin of the Creeper and another 23 days hunt.

The origin tale of jeepers creepers.
renatosantoszwn7 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This may not be an official movie, but at least for me is, because it shows us for the first time where the creature came from, and that for me was awesome.

The infamous truck is back and is as diabolical as ever, with a few new twists. Editing really lends itself to a thriller-type feel, but still with a good deal of kills/blood in keeping with the canon. Acting by the principals was generally excellent.

CGI weaker in quality than most films today, given the budget shortcomings, but not any worse than the first film. All-in-all, thought it was better than the first teaser.

This is a worthy addition to the Creeper story-line.
