Will Kyle, Lupa and ChaosD1 be able to help CatPhelous save the review from PhelousD1?... This seems slightly silly. phelous.com / phelous Originally Released: August 16, 2011
Wow, IMDB's Phelous page is called "The Super Phelous Angry Reviewing Meta-Show or Something..." I wonder how long that's been there...Still got the 5000 dollar budget though.
Every time I see him just screaming about how something doesn't "work that way", I can't help but wonder how often he lost his voice, because of that shtick of his.
i remember the ending scene of Justin Long's skin and his screams of agony in the distance being TOTALLY disturbing back when this movie came out. i was much younger then, and scared rather easily. i miss those days.
If you see a creepy looking guy wearing a trenchcoat and hat dumping what appear to be bodies into a sewer pipe, what should you do? A) Keep driving and forget you saw anything. B) Drive to the nearest service station and call the police. C) Turn around and investigate. If you picked 'C' congratulations, you could be the protagonist of a Jeepers Creepers movie.
Especially after he gives chase and drives you off the road. These idiots instead go back to investigate, because then the cops would just catch the damn thing and we would have no movie.
this movie scared me so much as a little kid. seeing it now and laughing at it is actually kinda weird considering how traumatized I was by it. I actually diddnt even want to watch the review but im kinda glad that I did now
*+Rebecca Robinson* You too huh? I'm less scarred now but being less scared means there's little to distract me from ripping the creeper to cheese bits.
If the Creeper's purpose for burning the church was to hide the evidence of the bodies he did piss poor job since they found the bodies anyway in the second movie...And for that matter, why didn't anyone go to the press after the Creeper revealed itself in front of an entire police station? I mean, it left one of the witnesses alive and it even left behind its clothes and a truck that had the bodies of two dead policemen in it. I can understand not wanting to look like a psychotic nut-job but if you have an entire police station as witnesses, I think that makes it pretty damn credible.
Jesse Ling Exactly I was working at the station that day , and I have to tell ya, nothing happened was a completely ordinary day.These people trying to pass off this crazy story need to be thrown into the looney bin asap.
Well at the end of the movie it shows the creeper working on Darry in another hideout that has other bodies in it implying that there’s more than one hideout the creeper has.
I like how creepers goes through the trouble of getting one person when there's like multiple times where he has a body parts that he could take from other people but just doesn't
Jeepers Creepers makes me sad :( The idea is really good. I'd even go as far to say that if it had been handled well, it could have been a movie monster to stand with the Predator.
Funny review as always, though hearing the other critics talk reminds me how glad I am that Phelous has a great quality microphone. No echo or distortions anywhere in his voice.
+RamsesTheStone It's supposed to be a cheesy, enjoyably silly horror movie. The character dialogue for college students sounds like small children, they fight a ridiculous ghoul with no origin or explanation that for some fucking reason drives a car, and random shit happens. This isn't a thinking man's movie, but it has some amusing bits.
I enjoy the movie without guilt, its a surprisingly creepy creature feature in a time creature features are kinda dead. The build up to his appearance legit got under my skin more than a average monster flick, & thought the Creepers whole concept was pretty original & creepy. I mean you can pick it apart like most monster B movies sure, but I'll leave that to the critics. As for the pedo thing, I still love Thriller even if MJ had kiddie porn & probably diddled the shit out of some kids. Can still enjoy the entirety of Naked Gun even with OJ Simpsons slap stick character. Tho I get anyone who cant get past it
I'm glad someone other than me can have a good laugh about kiddie fucking, but you misunderstood. Being I can separat the art from the creator, not that thier art oks the crime (Tho I torrent, so it's not like I'm helping fiance the pedos lube for little Billy) Aleast 50% of shit you like most likely came from horrible people behind the scenes. Plus unlike most MJ fans, I can admit his a sick fuck while zombie dancing to Thriller lol

The whole low opening of this video is amazing. it feels like they really make these more for the love of doing it than for anything else, which just makes me love them even more. Love you guys Phelous!
I must be a Justin Long fan for whatever friggin' reason; cuz I remember watching all of this movie on Scifi (yes, SCIFI, not SyFy) and reasonably enjoying my time with it.
I haven't seen this film in a while but you make a good point about them seeing him throwing bodies at the start. It'd make some sense if the small town folks were aware of the legend and so led it to traveler's rather than them, but nope, they had no idea this monster lived there and apparently just trying to catch two teens angers it into killing most of the police...
Some friends and I in high school watched these movies, and joked about the whole "23 is such a random number to pick and try to make significant lol!" thing but one of our friends, without even thinking about it, said, "Not really, it could be a reference to the 23 paired chromosomes in human DNA, since it's consuming to regenerate, taking the unique parts in and converting them into its own body mass." No idea if that was the director's intent, but she blew our minds with how fast she rattled all the info off, having just come up with it.
I love this movie, it's not a "guilty pleasure" it's just a pleasure. This movie apart from having two horror movie leads that I actually find enjoyable and want to see get through this, is actually full of very well done build-ups of dread and unnerving imagery that work outside the norm of most horror movies. Jumpscares aren't really common, but pretty cheap, though the other visuals really make you forget them. That long drawn out shot at the beginning which shows the demon's truck approach their car finds a way to be quite unsettling and draws your eyes away from the foreground scene. The same goes for when they first drive past the church, it's a long unnerving shot that becomes quite memorable. They managed to make something eerie in broad daylight. I merit any horror movie for accomplishing that. Some people might think it bad, but this movie has to be one of the most memorable horror movies I have ever seen. It builds up horror through dread, which isn't that common amongst the entire genre.
+DerangedDisciple I know this is 4 months old, but gotta say I agree. They really build up atmosphere and tension throughout the movie; jump scares aren't that common, and the fear sorta just slithers up on you--you can see it coming, but it works at a pace that has you on edge. As you mentioned, the drawn out scene where you see the Creeper's van closing in is very unnerving, and even the chase scenes with that loud, freaky horn are scary (to me.) So for all its flaws (and the shit behind the scenes with its gross director), it makes up with nice moody, disturbing atmosphere, and, again as you said, building dread until the very end.
Honestly, phelous was just plain wrong with his review on this one. Just as they defend themselves saying 'it's just an opinion' so to do I say that opinions can still be objectively incorrect. It's no defense.
As both an unbiased third party and someone who works as a writer, I can definitely say that It's far better than he gave it credit for. Some people just don't like a particular movie for nothing other than personal reasons. It's when they shit all over it without any real leg to stand on however, that things stray into the territory of pissing fans off. Nostalgia Critic's Event Horizon and Casper reviews are also like this.
planescaped its the same with his last action hero review. A lot of people i know like that movie including myself but Doug thinks the movie sucks because he doesn't find it funny and it shows in his review.
Jake Geddes Most of the time his criticisms are totally valid and based on writing and storytelling facts. But Nostalgia Critic in particular has the occasional habit of doing an arbitrary critique that just isn't true. Just as they defend themselves by saying it's only their opinion, so do I defend myself by declaring that opinions can still be factually wrong...
A lot of the better reviewers openly admit to reaching for some of their critiques and making the movies or whatever look worse than even they think. Usually the last five minutes or so of summarizing is where you get their more honest opinions. Unfortunately this leads to fans taking them seriously and having to follow the leader instead of making up their own mind. This in turn leads to often toxic comment sections.
If you had a sibling, specially a twin, you'd understand their relationship in this movie. I liked this movie for the two characters, even if of course it could've been better.
Hell yeah. Darry and Trish were just like my older brothers in how they talked about stupid shit and made up words games and basically acted like typical teenagers. Ah, nostalgia...
"I got a shotgun" and Old Man are two great things I attribute to Phelous. Even though the former was a Resident Evil thing. Whatever. *I don't like this movie, doesn't look too friend-lee...*
I haven't watched a Phelous Horror review in a long time. I forgot how much fun the Cameos were :) I love the cartoon reviews but it was a nice change coming back to one of these.
Am I the only one who thinks the creeper is more fitting to be a bad Batman villain than a slasher. My Reasons: 1.) He has a small arsenal of ninja weapons. Including his own batarangs (creeperangs). 2.) He has his own truck or as I would call "The Creepermobile". 3.) He just looks the part, creepy and campy like a sillier version of Man-Bat in the ninja turtles trench coat disguise. 4.) His powers and habits are all insane, like most of Batman's enemies. Especially using the music in his murders. I can actually see this guy running around Gotham.
ALL I can think about when I watch this movie, the ONE thing on my mind the ENTIRE time, the ONLY thing I care about, is how did the Creeper get the vanity plate? I have this mental image of him standing in line at the tag office, having to show title, bill of sale, proof of insurance...
I mean, what is this creature even? Why bother killing people every XY years, then just sleeping for years again? Not much of a life really. And how did it learn to drive, or dress up? it seems to be just an animal level intelligence.
And probably forever forced to take a whole lot of medicines, just to soothe his throat from the amount of strain he probably gives to it, thanks to that shtick of his.
@@FarelForever yeah due to my age and other factors, I’m only now catching up on who’s who😅 also back in 2011, I don’t think I used RU-vid as much as I do now
@@gracekim25 hahaha, boy, I consider these to be "the good old days". Still, I no longer follow most of the old TGWTG crew. I don't like where some of them went ... still, you have a lot of content to watch, so have fun :)
i found the realistic bickering and joking between siblings quite interesting, and the fact that it took a little bit longer to get to the "scary" part of it interesting. i don't think the thing needed to be 'scary', it was just consuming people. the scary part was how it was inevitable going to take either the sister or the brother, and at least for me, i found them both to be flawed and therefore relatable characters.
I really liked this movie. The Creeper is an instantly classic monster. Oh my god of course he gets a kick out of it! He scares the other drivers so he knows who to hunt.
I think they should do some sort of a reboot with a different director but have the same guy play The Creeper. And have it be about the girl from the first movie waiting to get revenge from her brothers death
You're right. It's only 16th most viewed or so, while, some of your most outstanding stuff has way, way less. RU-vid is what it is. I hope we'll get more Halloweenie this year regardless. Less people care, but we who do care care a lot!
I am wondering how jeepers creepers learned how to drive and got a truck. Probobly stole it and gained the knowledge from a victim. But i like to think it went through drivers training and bought the truck.
Aww, I love stupid busing cats. =^.^= And thanks for showing us the one fun part of that movie, at least for me. The opening conversation in the car was funny to me, with none of the horror I actually don't like (without jokes spoken over it). The Creeper Mobile was interesting to see. I think it had a role as an armored truck, decades ago, in "Cast a Giant Shadow."
Goes on rant about a lot of movies having the number 23 hold some importance in them. This video was posted on July 23rd. Its all true, the number 23 does show up everywhere.
Phelous, have you ever considered creating your own campy sci-fi show? I bet it'd be fantastic. You have a lot of storylines that are simultaneously ridiculous and interesting. I would totally watch it.
I get there some people who have mix feelings or whatever about Jeepers Creepers but this movie a childhood movie of mines this movie use to keep me from sleeping I also also think this film one of the last true horror flick from the early 00's cause horror films after went down the drain. Even now The Creeper have a name in the horror community so it did left a good impact.
funny thing is that if he didn't go there where their is damn near impossible not to be a serial killer's lair then they have been fine as it'd have never have got his scent. and as such not have hunted them.... we find out in the 2nd movie that it'd have only been awake for about 4-5 more day's
I actually liked this movie, it's a lot better than most horror movies that come out. Even if you don't like this movie you gotta give this movie respect considering the idea and the fact that if any of you including myself tried to make a movie like this we wouldn't make it as good so yea, and just because they're not in junior high they can't talk like that lol
I think I remember cinema snob doing a review on this (maybe it was someone else, or I watched this review before). The killer stuffing a body in a pipe in broad daylight part was familiar.
Despite the problems in this movie, I actually really enjoy it. Also I watched it for the first time at midnight as a kid, so it actually scared me pretty bad.
