Jeepers Creepers (2001) MOVIE REACTION | FIRST TIME WATCHING 

For me, the beginning and the end were terrific. The middle act has its issues, in my view. The beginning sets you up for something terrific, and it's just a creepy teen monster movie. They tell you so little about the Creeper that at times, I find it hard to get invested. It's not a bad movie. It's just not great and I think given some of the performances, it could have been great. Characters show up out of nowhere, tell you nothing about themselves and just give random, scary, cliched lines and then either leave or get killed by the Creeper. Everyone's basically a sacrificial lamb in the movie and by the end, it's hard for me to get invested, as good as the ending is. It's basically like those goofy 80s horror movies that I think people think more highly of because enough time has past, like a lot of politicians people hate.

Funfact justin long was the one dressed up as the creeper in the ending

​@@ZeroOmega-vg8nq lol.. yea. I knew that as a kid and no one had to tell me. It was obvious in order to get the shot of him stealing his eyes that it had to be Justin Long looking through.

No where he's biting the tongue of the decapitated corpse?

Likewise

I mean the ancestors in the cómic used to call him the Dragon Man.

Me too! LOL!

He's a bat dragon!

😂😂

Jeepers creepers where did you get those sneakers 👟 😂

The sequel is def much more upfront about it being symbolism for pedophilia. The way the young men are shot with the camera, the creeper sniffing them out and eating their body parts but almost always from a male. You can the director Victor Salva was getting off like crazy while filming those teen boys.

Just the first sequal... the others were garbage!

Yes, but only the sequel! do not see jeepers creepers 3 or reborn

Yes! A movie to where the sequel is superior to the original

Yeah, I find it funny he filled out the personalized license plate request form and imagine him chuckling as he did it.

Obviously could be a double entendre for "Beating you" as well. As he does beat up many a person

And beating you as in his truck is very fast

@@CrazeeAdam No, it's definitely Be Eating You. As in "i'll be eating you"

They thought it was beatingyou but its be eating You. We get it

look up the director😒

yeah man, everything that creature does is to provoke fear, like a predator, so fucking creepy

@@wilburson I know. It makes it so much more disturbing knowing that

@@CrispyChips007 everything about it was just eerie. Even the predictable parts of the movie would catch you off guard by how disturbing it was portrayed

@@hey-zel not gonna lie dont think anyone could have predicted the creepers making out with the cops head lol but I know what you mean, love how dude looks like the undertaker one minute then a creature straight from hell the next lol

True

I remember that now.. how come it's not in this version? I saw this when I was like 9 years old in a tent alone in my backyard at night.

Yeah the opening scene is so awesome. Awesomely creeper.

Yeah! 🚍

Agreed!

Check out my post the opening is based on a real event.

As much as I'm fond of that opening, JC2 on the whole is a pretty sub-par film. Not worth A&H reacting to it when there's so much top-tier horror they still haven't seen (CARRIE or THE OMEN now please!!!!!).

He is the only good thing in Barbarian

He's awesome at reacting to horror. That's why he was casted in that movie Barbarian last year.

My favorite is his role in Dodgeball XD Such a good movie

Why do you say it like people wouldn’t like him in this.

Americas Treasure Justin Long

Glad someone said this lol on every reaction it usually gets left out. Always blew my mind that it’s legit.

Yup, he was dumping his wife's body

Reference plz

@@merkaba0635an episode of unsolved mystery. Couple were doing a road game while drive where they try to figure out car plates. I think the wife saw something either like the plate in the movie or something similar. The end up seeing it again at an abandoned shed and the guy had a body wrapped in bloody sheets. They drove to the next time to use a phone and the car almost ran them off the road

@@merkaba0635 if you google "jeepers creepers dennis depue" the first thing that pops up should be from true crime edition, its explain that the opening scene is based on the couple that witnessed dennis depue dispose of his wifes body

You should definitely read the comics online because they explain the origins of the creeper.

would have never watched it that young, you must have been a brave kid lol

You were 6 or 7 and watching it alone in the dark? How'd you even finish it lol.

Shoot.. I snuck and watched Hellraiser when I was 3/4. The doctor character was what freaked me out. I don't like doctors to this day lol

Why avoid cat ladies?! She was a G 💪🏾😻😂

Same. Watched it very young and to this day, it really creeps me out. i remember thinking it was real and trying really hard to not be afraid so it wouldnt get me. My mom would mess with me by singing or humming the song at random times, they still laugh at me bc i was legit so afraid like i believed i was actually going to die lmao. This and The Hills Have Eyes are prob the only horror movies that traumatized me

Omg yess! I'm not the only person whose family did that to them! This movie scarred me, to this day I can't watch it!!

Hannah is starting to be so annoying with the constant blabbering and the over the top bad reaction acting. This channel is becoming a fake reaction joke fest!

@John Mase annoying as it can be for someone to talk during movies we like, seeing her literally saying the things the characters mention as it's happening many times throughout this reaction can't be planned for especially as it would be completely disingenuous, don't you agree? When a script screen writer or a musical score composer or even an editor wonders how the final product will be received, not by bias dog earred critics, but by the generous mass public; reaction channels are like magic and catharsis recently. As a screenwriter myself, I find it very refreshing what they can't fake in all good taste. Part of that is the bickering of opinionated couples, which I'd hate in my living room but find charming here, much like the writers' room itself. If you think it's all fake or insufferable, I invite you to go back and watch the Good Will Hunting Reaction on this channel and perhaps remember there is a human element to reactions that the filmmakers definitely did not intend but cannot be denied. Not knowing how someone will react or why helps understand better. Helps write what will land and what won't. Ash is also correct that they intended to be self-referential and break away the horror tropes while making fun of them. Watching reactions isn't supposed to be serious. It's for the millions of idiots who didn't do what they wanted or college courses got pulled and slave away at 9 to 5's instead watching these to pass the time.

Such a great scene 👊🏽

It's like The Creeper standing there looking at them like he's The Undertaker

And the fact he's blind so he's just smelling them

I think everyone who watched this had nightmares. It's such an unsettling film.

I know, me too. The conviction and desperation in her voice as she's screaming at the Creeper at the end to take her is so painful to hear because I feel like I'd be screaming the same thing if some maniac/monster had my little brother in their clutches.

@@LilTechCricket right. I just wouldn’t know what to do anymore

And that's why it's a great horror movie. True horror has no happy ending.

"But he has superpowers!" As opposed to a powerless superhero Hannah? Gave me a good laugh

@@PerishingPurplePulsar *Batman weeps in the corner*

@@Rilumai Fair point

Hannah is starting to be so annoying with the constant blabbering and the over the top bad reaction acting. This channel is becoming a fake reaction joke fest!

So true 😂

JC2 is the reason I've had dreams about the Creeper maybe once every year or so for the past decade and a half (I was like 4 when this movie came out so didn't see it for a few years after when I was like 7-8 and Mum got it on DVD). JC2 is criminally underrated

​@@PerishingPurplePulsar I thought it was better than the first x

@@sharondimelow9481 Oh same, by leagues, but (at least from my personal experience) most people seem to think to the contrary

​@@PerishingPurplePulsar in comparison, it's a different genre though. The first was pure horror while the second added a lot more action to it.

Well guess what today's the day @viktorzolsar8873

100% agree. One of my favourite shots of any horror film. Burned into my mind since 20 years ago.

Effing same. That one shot is *burned* into my memory. I never watched this movie again but I remember those 10 seconds with stunning clarity.

Super sick 😮😅

funny thing is that is actually justin long lol The actor for the monster wasn't available at the time so they put Jusin in the creeper suit and makeup.

​@@SmileyAdventures the damn song is what scares me

Joseph mate, made my day man thank you 👊🏽

Cheers mate, thank you for the recommendation ❤️

@@justtrustash I concur that The Descent is one you absolutely have to see! It’s incredible

make sure its the UK version NOT the american one, they have different endings and i think everyone agrees that the uk one is much better

Barbarian is laughably inferior to this.

@@sunshui6114 I’m not saying “Barbarian” is better. I just think it’d be a really fun one to see them react to.

😂😂😂😂

@@justtrustash is ash British?

great film and book

​@@Offline67087he's Persian.

They made a 4th film? Fuck, the 3rd one was bad enough.

@@FrozenPhoenix15 I wouldnt say the 3rd and 4th were bad persay, but 1 and 2 really did take all the talent, 3 and 4 are just meh

@@tommyllama4558 3 and 4 were more than meh, they were terrible. Not only did they ruin the first movie, but also weren’t even entertaining.

@@tommyllama4558 3 was hot garbage. I usually enjoy those stupid syfy original movies, but 3 had all the negatives like terrible acting and CGI and none of the positives like camp and self awareness. I haven't seen 4 and i doubt i ever will

@@googlename3859 perhaps I hate like it, or perhaps i remember it being better then it actually was.

That movie was horrifying. One of the few that scarred me for life after watching it. I recently got my cousin to watch it and the text I got was "What the F*ck did you just have me watch!"

2 is better - but 3-4 are bad

Part 2 is alright..part 1 is the best Jeepers Creepers though. Part 3 and Part 4 are horrendous though.

​@@darthtrip7188 4 isn't part of the canon story, so I read

@@darthtrip7188 the 2nd was as good as you get with a horror sequel, that opening scene in that one sets the stage so well also it didn’t feel like a spoof and the characters were overacting on the second one, it was a really solid sequel

good to know where you stand when it comes to supporting convicted child molesters.

I still sometimes turn a short wave radio on, and if I hear any traffic, I ask if anyone out there knows Candycane. I can't do the voice for shit, though. It just amuses me, cus nobody has seen the movie

Joy Ride is amazing. Would make a great reaction.

Yes to all 🙌🏻🔥

Yesss!!! Joy Ride is a classic!!!❤

​@@ashscott6068lol, I'm too big a pansy to do that. Just imagine you get the one person who HAS seen it, and they turn out to be a weirdo. But that voice is legendary. The actor was also in the American mystery series Monk. It's no Roger L. Jackson from Scream, or Tony Todd, but it's up there.

No, lol. Wriggle is a word.

Sounds to me like you weren’t a kid like most of us who saw this movie for the first time were💀because most of us saw this between 4-10 years old when it came out so it was horrifying for us

@@clevelandcbithe director is a convicted child m0l3$ter. Like there was footage of his crimes and he is still out walking free. happened before he made this movie

@@clevelandcbi Yeah, it's a tale one can hardly bear telling. If not for that MENACE TO SOCIETY. . .The Creeper would have a seat at the big table with Freddy, Jason, Ghostface, Michael, Chucky and the other Icons today.

@@clevelandcbi Huh. . .how about that?

​@@otakuwolf4ever985 Imo, the Creeper does have a place at that table. Yes, the creator is an awful jackass but the creature itself and the movie even deserves recognition.

@@JustKelso1993 agreed

So

@@anthonyv9242 The movies took a nose dive after this one. The Creep(Victor Salva) was still around for the second one, so this one is good. When they got red of him it was over. The director is a creep, the name of the villain is creeper... Symbolism!! 🤮

why do you have to ruin the fun like that? its like all those woke idiots trying to cancel Hogwarts Legacy because of what JK Rowling said some years ago, and guess what the boycott was a failure and the game was still a smash hit worldwide. People want to have fun and enjoy the content, separate product from the artist

​@@Finozzi96 I feel like separating the art from the artist is hard when a man who preys on children makes movies about a monster who preys on children. I can still watch and enjoy this movie and its sequel, but I do feel that there is something genuinely unsettling about it, like there's real evil behind it. It adds to the horror, if anything. The only thing I can compare it to is how watching The Crow feels with the context that Brandon Lee died during its production, but that's more of a melancholy thing than one that gets under my skin like these movies do.

I was surprised how far I had to scroll through the comments to find this information. Jeepers Creepers was filmed with the express stipulation that children could not be on set with the director because he is a known child predator.

She’s the best mate! Thank you for the kind words ☺️
