8.5/10
"Habrá quien le rinda aplauso de pie, y habrá quien lo aborrezca y desee lo peor para el director, pero les prometo que no les dejará indiferentes..."  Cinenganos  Alex Ramirez

4/5
"The frightening stuff works because the film contains believable, strong central characters and lots of unexpected shocks."  Filmcritic.com  Blake French

C
"What can I tell you about a movie like JEEPERS CREEPERS that you don't already know from its title?"  AboutFilm.com  Carlo Cavagna

3.5/4
"The best thing to happen to the horror genre since 1999's groundbreaking The Blair Witch Project."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

3/4
"Jeepers Creepers is an old-fashioned horror flick tailor-made for the Fangoria crowd."  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

B-
"It's not a very respectable horror film, but it does deliver the goods more often than not."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

C
"The first half...is surprisingly lithe and stylish...That's not enough, unfortunately, to save its increasingly poor second half, which careens into silliness."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

2.5/4
"Salva (Powder), directing from his own screenplay, develops Jeepers Creepers in such a way that it offers plenty of shock scares as well as a gradually building sense of menace."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

2.5/4
"packs in virtually every horror-movie paradigm from the last 30 years into a lean 90 minutes"  Q Network Film Desk  James Kendrick

"One of those horror movies in which its characters do such unbelievably stupid things all the time that you literally want to shout at them."  Movie Gurus  James O'Ehley

"Decent and rather effective at first -- even if not remotely original -- the film unfortunately falls apart and unravels as it unfolds."  Screen It!  Jim Judy

6/10
"A nice change of pace from all of the teen slasher garbage that we've been getting of late."  JoBlo's Movie Emporium  JoBlo

6/10
"...takes an enduring monster-movie premise, starts to rework it promisingly, and then drops the ball and falls back on trite, stereotyped action until we finally stop caring."  DVDTown.com  John J. Puccio

"The most original mainstream American horror film I’ve seen in a while."  Planet Sick-Boy  Jon Popick

B
"Salva loses his nerve fairly early, and starts grabbing for plot elements that quickly detour his picture into a messy quagmire of the unpleasant, the unconvincing, and the unwatchable."  rec.arts.movies.reviews  Jonathan F. Richards

2.5/4
"This is definitely not a good movie, and it has too many major flaws within the context of the genre to be a good horror movie."  Mark Reviews Movies  Mark Dujsik

0/4
"A mind-numbing monster movie."  Mr. Brown's Movies  Michael Dequina

2/4
"Jeepers Creepers is one of those movies that starts promisingly, then goes downhill very quickly."  Aisle Seat  Mike McGranaghan

6/10
"Jeeeepers Creeeepers - Where'd you get...that AWFUL ENDING?"  eFilmCritic.com  Scott Weinberg

B-
"... an eerie return to old-fashioned scary movies. You get the sense writer/director Victor Salva really takes this seriously. "  Seattle Post-Intelligencer  Sean Axmaker

2/10
"Gruesome, nasty little horror creature/feature from writer/director Victor Salva, a convicted pedophile."  www.susangranger.com  Susan Granger

"It is stylish and atmospheric; despite some problems with motivation, its main character duo is sympathetic and credible."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw
