  • I watched Jeepers Creepers with my roommates on Saturday night. I was actually impressed, it was a bit different than the normal horror-slasher flick.

  • Your favorite band sucks, and you have terrible taste in movies.

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>The first part had the three great horror elements: isolation, vulnerability, and the aspect of the unknown. The end just became a slasher monsterfest. There's a difference between "scaring people" and "grossing people out," but horror writers don't seem to pick up on this.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Not to mention it just fell flat on its face in terms of any storyline or suspense of any sort, which is crucial to horror flicks (the suspense part). It did have a great ending, though</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "arial narrow"; text-align: left; padding: 0% 5% 0% 5%; '>Me and the blokes saw it in theatres. From about the first 30 minutes, I thought it would be one of the best horror movies I'd ever seen... until the killer grew wings, and the kids kept driving over him. It was hard not to burst into laughter at that point, and for the rest of the movie, we were in stitches over the absurdity of it all. It became an old-school Hollywood monster movie (which, after seeing the DVD extras, I learned was the director's exact intent). I don't think I ever laughed so hard... probably didn't help that we were all pretty wasted.</div>

The only drawback was his 24 days every 24 years thing.. ohh well</div>
