Oh, man... The Descent is one of my favorite Monster Movies and all-time favorite horror movies...

BUT

It DEFINITELY has it pitfalls... Lots of them, actually... I think it's a film with a lot of mistakes and a lot of merits... Pick and choose which outweighs the other. I choose "merits," but I can't argue with someone who would choose "mistakes."

...

Re: Another Jeepers Creepers. Honestly, I REALLY liked the original. I found it incredibly underrated. I thought that it built believable sympathetic (but not PAthetic) characters and a successfully creepy villain/killer. I thought that there was descent build-up. I loved it.

Jeepers Creepers 2... It was... Ok... It chose a different genre - Siege mixed in with a little bit o' revenge.

BUT

It was really Leland Palmer that makes it.

If he's not in the 3rd, I'm not interested.

My biggest problem with it was the fact that it, even though effective to some, was all about the claustrophobic caves and feel. Oddly enough, I feel safer in those situations. It seemed to drag on, and for some reason, the monsters were disappointing to me. It just didn't work for me.

That's interesting how claustrophobia isn't effective on you... What films work for you?

Honestly, the claustrophobia was VERY effective for me... My problem was that the director painstakingly took the first 1/2 hour in the cave bringing up this incredibly intense and claustrophobic feel to it...

And then the girls spend the rest of the movie running around from the monsters.

Claustrophobia vs. Haunted House Maze.

It's actually laughable when I think about it.

Claustrophobia isn't that effective on me, either, since I prefer small spaces as opposed to large ones. I'm comfortable with small spaces, as long as I can easily remove myself from the smaller setting when I wish. Claustrophobia becomes a problem when I am trapped so tightly it is hard to move, or when I'm stuck in a space with no possible exit. Like being buried alive. I'm no Uma Thurman, so I'd pretty much be screwed.

That's where The Descent got me. Climbing through those small tunnels, unable to go backwards, and once the exits caved in? Hell.

Back on topic, I'm actually looking forward to a third Jeepers Creepers film. Not a 'see-it-in-theatres-on-day-one' type of anticipation, nor any anticipation at all really... but I wouldn't say no to watching the DVD.

I think The Creeper is a pretty effective character. Hell, while the second film was no masterpiece, it held some pretty tense Creeper moments. When he breathed heavily on to the glass of the bus? Freaked me out for a while.

They were running around, yes. But the time it took to get to that part, eh, it seemed like too much.

As far as what works for me, nothing really. I'm not really scared of anything. There are a few movies that have left a slight impression, such as Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer and Dead Birds(Not sure why). But they don't really make me squirm in my seat.

Now I will say High Tension kept me on the edge of my seat...literally. But it was a very fast paced movie, and it had suspense that seemed to work. I enjoyed it. But not all movies like this, I enjoy.

Creep was a pretty fast paced movie, but it really wasn't my forté. It didn't have enough depth, and there was a lot that it didn't explain. Not to mention I had really high hopes for it, considering the great reviews it got. And that may have been part of my problem with The Descent. I had too high of hopes and expectations, and when it didn't work the way I had hoped, it fell off of my list.

As far as Jeepers Creepers, the first one wasn't really scary, but I did love the atmosphere and style. A very creepy film, and a good attempt at another slasher villain. The second one started out okay, but turned back downhill for the rest of the film, very quickly. I don't care to watch the second installment, again, anytime soon. Not to mention the insane amount of pointless profanity.

Maybe I'm expecting too much out of new movies, but some are just outright, awful. Example, the White Noise series. But I do tend to like a lot of the very, very, low budget films out there. But hey, that's just me.

I do like the creeper and I loved the first jeepers creepers. It was an excellent film and the ending was very unexpected and sudden. Kinda good like "Oh my god...it's over." The second one was not good at all, but not particularly bad. I would be interested in seeing the psychic woman and the main girl from the first one return, it would be pretty cool.

I never caught the first two films. Are they good monster flicks, or trumped up B-quality trash?

Depends on your taste. I thought the first one was a rather good horror film. The second one fell behind.

I'll give it a shot then. It looked rather good in the previews....

Jeepers Creepers III: Cathedral
 

July 09, 2008


About eight months back, Victor Salva was in talks to direct the third installment of his Jeepers Creepers franchise for MGM. Various news stories have broke since then, with rumors of a possible back-to-back shoot with a fourth film.

Today it was revealed that the film will now carry a new moniker and that it is about to begin shooting.

Once titled Jeepers Creepers 3: The Creeper Walks Among Us, Fangoria received word that the film will now be titled Jeepers Creepers III: Cathedral and is about to enter preproduction.

“The script, now titled Jeepers Creepers III: Cathedral, is about to enter pre-production at MGM and does include a prologue in the Old West where we see how the Creeper became a frightening part of cowboy and Native American folklore...”

Salva also reveals some plot points of the story and explains how Gina Philips makes her return to the franchise, news which we also broke exclusively here in March.

"...one aspect of the third film features Trish Jenner [again played by Gina Philips from the original film], who, 23 years later, has a teenage son of her own, named Darry after her long lost brother. Trish is having a terrible recurring dream where her son meets the same terrible fate as her brother. Now a rich and powerful woman, Trish is determined to stop the Creeper once and for all.”

Salva also teases that "It also revisits characters from both films, lets us learn more about what the Creeper is and, by popular demand, reintroduces the infamous Creeper truck.”

I know that this may be a sad thought, but I am kinda excited about seeing or even hearing more about this. I liked the first one. The second one drug about, but the third sounds great. I love when they try to explain the past from a future perspective.

I liked JC alot, JC2 was very very run of the mill, JC3 sounds very cool.


It's always nice to know the origins, and continuity is a good thing too.

I'm excited too.

Big fan of the first....didn't hate the second...looking forward to the third.

really liked them both..

big fan of the second one - more than most people.


i will say though that these would be even more fun if they hadn't been directed by a convicted pedophile

I liked the first one, the second one was way better than i expected, so i would definitely enjoy a third.

And yes, they would be way more enjoyable if i didnt know the writer director liked boys. powder was good too.

Cool - i look forward to lots more scenes of topless boys like in JC2.

He needs to make a movie with Larry Clarke - I bet it would be awsome :-)

..little boys ...

The next Joel Schumacher in the making?

man, why so uptight? just becuse you have a little boy...


I was hugely disappointed when i found out about him. but look at his pic on imdb, he LOOKS like a fucking pervert.

Indeed - he was part of my a xmas decoration set i made a few years back - hollywood rapists was the theme..(i used to do a different set every year)

HAHAHA!


that was funny...

Does that mean the next Creeper is gonna have nipples?

Ass close-ups?

Lets just hope that they dont go too overboard with that, and we should have another pretty sweet movie.

The first JC has to one of my favourite post-2000 horror movies, and even though the 2nd wasn't on par, it was still a fun ride. I have faith that Mr. Child Predator will give us another great flick to round out the trilogy.

Ferox, that is quite possibly the best Christmas card ever.

...

Personally, I thought that the first Jeepers Creepers was a fantastic little film and didn't get the exposure that it deserved. It was a solid, creepy monster movie with some good scares and some genuinely gory scenes.

As its been said, the second one was run-of-the-mill. More of a siege/action/revenge film than its predecessor.

I am indeed looking forward to the third film, but I am generally wary of origin flicks.

Good GOD I hope that means that Leland Palmer comes back. He HAS too. He ENDS the second film.

That's right; I refuse to call him anything but Leland Palmer.

me and the wife were so hooked on that show when it originally aired. good fun.....perhaps a rental is in the future......God...has it been almost twenty years.....

But that's Ray Wise, right?

it is


doesn't he play the Devil on some TV show.....I pretty much stopped watching TV nowadays.

Yeah, he plays The Devil on "Reaper".

I'd recommend the show. The first episode was directed by Kevin Smith. Some of the episodes in the middle of the season dragged, but the last 5 or 6 episodes were amazing.

Absolutely.

I've seen all of Season 1 as well as Fire Walk With Me (though I wish I had waited to see Season 2 before the movie).

The day that Season 2 came out on DVD I picked it up IMMEDIATELY (I had been waiting for its release after Season 1 for at least a year), though, for some reason I haven't gotten myself to watching it yet...

I guess I'm still slightly bitter that the Pilot episode was released separately from Season 1 in America. How LAME is that?!

I haven't seen The Reaper yet... I was intrigued when it first came out, but haven't heard anything spectacular about it, so I haven't watched it yet.

I haven't watched JCII since way before I got into Twin Peaks...never even made the connection!

Damn, now I really need to watch it again. Leland Palmer owns you.

And Chrono, I HIGHLY recommend looking into the Gold Box edition of Twin Peaks. It's pricey, but it includes both version of the pilot + both seasons in all their glory. Its also got some pretty sweet special features...worth every penny if you ask me.

I still need to check out Fire Walk With Me though...

jeepers creepers 3
 

i hope this one will be as good as the rest, i liked the first one up until he became a monster, but still enjoyed it.they are planning making a tv series after the movie, dont know if that will ruin the movies.

http://www.worstpreviews.com/headline.php?id=22233

Heard about this awhile ago. The second one sucked so im not expecting much out of this.

i quite liked the second one, dont ask me why lol.

It just didnt have the creepy factor that the first one did. Although i did really like the beginning with the scarecrow thing.

that was the best part of the movie, i liked the first one with all the creepy part of the begining, but i think it would have been better if u dint find out he was a monster, just leave not knowing what he is.

Yeah, that's what I didn't like about JC2, turned into a killing spree splatterfest (which appeals to some) at the relative cost of a lot of the atmosphere the first one had going for it.
Not to mention the *amount* of characters stuck in the bus just made it so you didn't really bother seeing them as anything other than cannon fodder.
Didn't much like the weapons, didn't think they were necessary and came across as a little too derivative of predator for my liking - though in all honesty I could have accepted this if the movie was more tense and atmospheric.

I've heard many a rumour about the third, seems the most recent I recall is actually meant to be set in the next "rising" period of the creeper.
I had previously heard about a prequel set around the "dark ages", that didn't go much past that...though an origins series may be ok...I think that will largely depend upon any kind of success of the third film though, whenever/IFever the fuck they release it.

yeah i hated all the weapons he was using, that ruined it for me.

Same with me.. Beginning was cool, but the rest was kinda comedy-like tbh, and the first one was a lot scarier.

I hope this will be as good as the first or better, and not as funny as the second.
