I've gotta say, Trish emotionally pleading for her brother's life and trying to chase them before realizing she can't do anything always gets me more than the final shot.
I 1000% agree!! I adore my little brother and I would sacrifice my life for his with no hesitation. So that's the reason I hate and avoid rewatching this movie, the idea that I couldn't save my brother and be left behind while God knows what happens to him...
I think the brothers should react to a Soldiers Story. One of Denzel Washington's first movies. It's about segregation in the military. It's a great watch.
The most disturbing thing about Derry's corpse at the end, is that the front of his face is fully intact, meaning the Creeper dug through the back of his head to reach his eyes without damaging them. The screaming from Derry at the end throughout the factory was him suffering through the Creeper digging through his skull before dying after he reached the brain.
Also the eyes were missing but you still could see tears down his face. People can say whatever they want but this movie From beginning to end is the only horror movie that genuinely give me chills. I was 8 years old when it came out and I’m 29 now and the movie still give me chills.
The most disturbing scene in this movie for me is seeing Trish just looking up at the Creeper flying away with her brother, knowing he's about to die a horrible death and you will never see him again. I liked the low key ending, though. It brought out more tension and fear for me. Seeing Derry's eyeless face at the end was horrific.
@@brittanysandusky9466 Completely agree and that is why to me it's the most disturbing scene of the film. Just imagine having your loved one with you and then just like that… he or she is gone! Your life completely changes!
The scene that terrified me the most was when they spot him dumping the bodies and he notices them. As someone who use to drive across Texas bi-weekly, the thought of that shit happening is terrifying!
The psychic was looking at Trish in a sympathetic way bc she knew how emotionally scarred she was going to be after the Creeper took her brother. He chose Darry bc of what he saw in the basement, they both were afraid but he was more affected by what he saw, he knew what the Creeper was capable of & it scared him more…🥺
@@marcellomercuri5619 The way I see it the Creeper can't sustain his body naturally, so constantly has to be eating parts from people to replace the parts of his body that might be decaying. In this police officer's head he probably smelled that the tongue was desirable and took it to replace his own one that probably needed replacing anyway. Also why he took Derry's eyes (his own ones were white, if you look at the scene wherefore he flies off, indicating his own eyes were old and not working so well anymore). Also because Trish and Derry were siblings he probably could have chosen either, but Derry had more fear in him, so he ultimately chose him.
@@marcellomercuri5619 The eating tongue scene whas shot in order to make the creeper talks. There's a deleted scene in wich the creeper says Darry's name in the old lady's house. But they cut it because the creature is far more scary remaining in silence plus the scene gives off that he wants Darry after all so they cut it to keep the mistery about wich one it wants
He choose her brother because he was fearful and that’s what the creature feed off of. She wasn’t afraid and that wasn’t pleasant enough it’s like why eat chicken when steak is way more desirable to you.
Also my favorite part about the license plate game is everyone always reads it as BEATING YOU but what it’s meant to be is BE EATING YOU, because he eats people.
Yeah, I wish they’d realized/explained that in the movie but at the same time it probably would have felt forced and it’s cool to realize it on your own.
@@brianburkhardt3692 I haven’t watched the movie in a while but I’m pretty sure the psychic lady mentions the license plate meaning towards the end. Or at least hints at it
Saw this when it first came out in the theater , I was 16 and it was my first time driving alone in my car at night. It terrified me! I’ll never forget that long drive home in the country at night after seeing that 😂
The reason why The Creeper chose Darry instead of Trish is because what he seen in the church. The House of Pain. Darry was so, so afraid seeing 300 dead corpses covering the basement walls and ceiling. He wanted his eyes.
Dion I agree!!! He knew Darry was down there and he knew what he saw, that’s why he chose him, and also he left his scent and he also got a cut from falling. I maybe stretching it a bit, but I think he getting a cut he also left his blood in there, and that sealed his fate, like I said I maybe speculating too much, but I think that’s what happened.
I don't think he cared about what Darry saw. He gets off on fear. Trish was strong and hardly showed fear while pleading for him to take her instead. Darry was scared to his core, so he wanted him.
@@pekzs-7333it’s the fear factor. He saw far more than Trish and she was brave enough to not only hurt the Creeper, but sacrifice herself in her brother’s place. The creeper could’ve killed both of them at any point, but was intentionally installing fear into them throughout the film. Feeding the animals before slaughter so 2 speak.
There is a Comic Series detailing the backstory of the Creeper: He is as old as humanity but only made contact with the Aztecs who worshipped him and gave him the name "Uktena" Which means "Dragon" they would offer him sacrifices, cutting out the hearts of men which would call the Creeper and allow it to feast, the Leading Priest would offer the sacrificed hearts to the 'god'. The Creeper was respected but immensely feared by feeding it within the cycle of spring the Aztecs believed it would be satisfied and they would escape its wrath, as the age went on and the first Americans arrived the Creeper abandoned the Native Americans who it associated with after the Aztecs but it still preyed on the Pilgrims, eating their eyes before vanishing and only resurfacing (That we know of) in the 20th century In 1962, In a city known as "Centralia" there were a bunch of miners exploring tunnels to craft a mine shaft, they broke through its "House Of Pain" discovering that the Creeper was no longer hunting to sustain itself fully, but that it was hunting, taking the prey back and stringing them on the walls to slowly eat over a course, evolving if you put it into terms and this would lead to the main movie, it's the evolution to dress as a human and be incredibly intelligent is due to its age as it's essentially immortal. In any case, the miners were slaughtered but one of them managed to light an explosive which mixed with the chemicals in the air set off a chemical reaction causing a massive explosion in the mines, those citizens above heard of it and suffered, they couldn't breathe due to the toxic air until it calmed and authorities claimed it was a "Accident" leading the Creeper into obscurity again. The rest of the comic actually has an actual sotry following a college story researching the Uktena and gaining the Creeper's attention! Would Recommend it.
Your grandma had excellent taste in horror films. So awesome she shared her love for the genre with you guys, and in turn keep her memory & fandom alive.
The creeper looked long and hard at Trish when she offered to switch places with her brother. Like it had never encountered that before. I always thought in a sequel it would come back for her but they never did. Not yet anyway. Lol there's still sequels happening. But her standing up to it like that to try to save her brother was the most emotional of whole movie.
That was such a heartbreaking scene. I believe it's because she was brave enough to even offered her own life, that the creeper didn't want her. She was not afraid of him, at least not enough to not fight for her brother.
One of my favorite horror movies for how different it is from all of the other slasher movies (the truck chase, the fact that the two main teenagers are brother and sister rather than bf/gf, the song choice, it taking place in the deep rural south and a good part of it during the day, the creepers design and need to feed to regenerate, the “Sistine Chaple”). It is unique and effective cinematic horror!
The scene that terrified me the most was when they spot him dumping the bodies and he notices them. As someone who use to drive across Texas biweekly, the thought of that shit happening is terrifying!
The Creeper could've been one of the big ones, an Icon of horror right next to Freddy, Jason, Michael, Chucky and Pinhead. But sadly, the man who created him was a MENACE TO SOCIETY!!! So creeper never got the respect and recognition he deserved.
Literally if Darry never went to go back to investigate he would have lived. That whole spiel about him convincincing Trish to go back in case someone was still alive is literally the reason why he dies. The creature warned them in its own way which is why they were spared and not killed in the beginning of the film. It's solely cause they went back the creature killed him
THANK YOU I’ve always said this yes he tried to scare them but it wasn’t enough but after he went in that church that fear changed and it was offer for them
25:10 The Creeper as he's called did speak in the original script after eating the cop's tongue, but they decided to cut his lines to keep him more monstrous. One of the most original and underrated horror films of the 2000s in my opinion, but unfortunately the series never lived up to the potential it had.
I lost it, laughing my ass off when Chris said "Oh, I don't like this." And jump cut to Chris clutching an emotional support Chihuahua. And you gotta watch Jeepers Creepers 2 (2003).
The ending floored me. The whole time I kept thinking that Trish and Darry would find a way to escape the Creeper. But unfortunately, evil won. It got what it wanted and these likeable, fun characters lost. Darry died and Trish was left devastated and traumatized for life. That depressing, horrific ending stuck with me.
I remember being so affected by Derry's screams at the end. I think it traumatized me somehow. I was not comfortable driving home that night. Man, that messed me up. Poor Derry.
Justin long killed this roll. The shear fear in his eyes in this movie draws the viewer in. Making you directly relate to the horror of it on a personal level. Perfect example of good acting in a horror movie. Something missing nowadays with film.
Wait, are you actually saying that film ”nowadays” don’t have good acting compared to ”then”? Or is it just the usual ”it was better before” trope casually thrown in there as praise for this particular movie..?
this creepy af movie really hit a nerve back in the day. one of my fav scenes is when the police go to check out the cells looking for the creeper. when his flashlight lit up a cell, ALL the prisoners are jammed up in one corner because the creeper is eating on one of them in the other corner.
Watching this when I was 11 was horrifying. I felt so bad for Darry, thought I’d never see the actor again. Flash forward 2 months: “If you can dodge a wrench. You can dodge a ball!” Darry: “Wut?”
And the guy being put into jail while Derry and Trish talk to their folks is one of the coaches in JC2... He's the one that gets pulled from the front door of the bus...
One of my faves. At one point I watched it everyday so I can pretty much quote the whole thing. Now you HAVE to watch the second one...quite entertaining. Creeper has a lot more personality.
I have to say this is one of the coolest and the scariest creature ever . I just love it . 😅 Classic early 2000's horror. Awesome reaction as always guys.
When you look it up on google , the creeper saw off the back of his head ….. his screams will always give me chills 💯 . Like I can’t even imagine what it would’ve been like to have seen the world below you as your being flown off with this thing , and I can’t even more imagine… what was was going thru his head when the creeper took off his clothes and was walking towards him with that saw 😢💯
This is one of those movies that tends to fly under the radar but I love it. I remember seeing this in the theater when it came out and how everyone was so stoked after the movie and wanted to talk about it.
This movie scared the shit out of me the first time I watched it and the brother/sister relationship is really what makes this film so emotionally effective!
I'm so mad that it took me LITERALLY 20 years to realise the license plate says B Eatng U not Beatin U. And it was only AFTER I watched it with my 16 year old son, and the psychic kept saying "think about it" that my son and I sat down, wrote out the license plate and went "OHHHHHH!!"
The deleted scenes show that the Creeper was originally supposed to speak after he ate the tongue. In the uncut scene of the Creeper lifting up the cat lady, he says, "She don't smell too good... Darrius." There's also an alternate ending that fully shows the face of the Creeper with Darrius' actor Justin Long, wearing the Creeper's makeup.
I'm a heavy truck mechanic and love movies that involve vehicles. The creeper van was a 1940's Gmc COE that they modified. They built the back end to make what's called a panel van, and dropped cummins 5.9 turbo diesel in it and cranked her up a bit. That's the turbo whistle you hear when they do they chase POV shot. Those engines can handle upward of 500 to over 1000 hp when done correctly so the speed you see from the old clunker is horrifyingly real.
My brother & I watched this for the first time... and all we kept saying was "hell naw" wouldn't be us. Plus, I always wondered how the monster got personalized tags.
''PUNCH IT CHEWY''..... 🤣 ..... adorable doggie....... and y'all's reaction at the first good look at the Creeper was priceless....and, it took Derry's skin
This was the movie I was waiting for you guys to watch 😊. My brother and I really enjoyed this review. This movie is so chilling especially the ending 😨
I remember seeing this movie when it first came out and reading the license plate as "Beating U", then once you find out what he is doing, you realize it's "B Eating U"
I remember begging my dad to let me and my brother watch this movie. Needless to say after it was all over, I was scared shit less. I remember looking at our closet for a while. Thinking the Creeper was gonna come and get us. Also, the ending was very dark and messed up. We the audience can hear Darry begging for his life and not seeing it. Felt very helpless in the moment. Then it turned into heartbreak when we see his dead body with half of it gone and both of his eyes taken since that was what the Creeper wanted. Audiences usually like that Disney kind of ending where the good guys always win but sometimes, we need the villain to win and make it all the more real if that makes any sense. The Creeper was also kind of a badass too! I remember being kind of shocked when I saw him doing flips and shit. Like what a boss. Of course, that was mostly because he had wings. The thing I also liked was not really or truly knowing what the Creeper actually is and we barely know anything.
I always found the 'demon' scarier before its full appearance was revealed. The image of this large figure standing by the pipe in that heavy dark outfit and the hat always gives me chills. Its form was human, but you could tell that it somehow was something much more sinister. Showing too much can take away from the effect and that was the case for me watching this as a child.
This is one of my favorite movies!!! The reason why the demon didn't kill the psychic woman is because she wasn't scared along with the sister. Well....at least they weren't as scared as the brother. The demon feeds off of fear.
Sure. The first one served its purpose well, saw it in theaters just like Jeepers Creepers, for that matter. Then they did a sequel with Texas Battle (Lewis Romero from Final Destination 3) in the main role. After that, the franchise was milked beyond any sense of quality control. Unfortunate.
for reference, the director of this series is a sex offender convicted of filming porn with a twelve year old. He served just over a year in prison. That's scarier than ANYTHING in the film.
Yeah, I think he's also a member of (NAMBLA) North American Man/Boy Love Association which I thought was something South Park made up. It even kinda shows in his writing like his other movie Powder
@@Kronical69420 I usually try to separate movies from the actors or directors and just judge the actual movie itself but it's hard to with this one, especially when he lingers on certain shots, it just makes it uncomfortable and when you know what he's done it's just hard to watch. And it sucks because I really like this and the sequel (just the second I like, hate the other two), I will still watch it every once in a while but it's not easy to.
I'd always thought it was weird that The Creeper seemed to mostly target men, even as a kid watching it. It always seemed sexual made me uneasy. When I found out about the director when they announced the 3rd movie was being made, everything immediately clicked into place and I felt sick to my stomach that not only did this convicted child predator turn his own monstrous essence into an even bigger, immortal monster of his own creation, meaning he is completely self aware that of how much of a monster he is and gets off on it by immortalizing himself, but he was allowed to make MULTIPLE films and profit off of it. And it's barely even talked about. They still making movies and people are still watching, most of them having no clue...
I love movies from this era. My favorite part is looking back at the year it was released and realizing my parents took me or dropped me off at some GREAT horror films at a stupid age. Saw this one in theater with my mom when I was NINE. First “R” movie was Texas Chainsaw Massacre in ‘03. LOL
Yes, you’re correct. When he eats the cops tongue he speaks after his face is revealed behind the old cat lady. He says “She don’t smell too good, Darrius” in a southern accent. It was much more frightening never hearing his voice so they took that scene out.
The cat lady is Mrs. Peacock from Clue. And I'm going to disagree with everyone else. It doesn't feed off fear. He needs the victim frightened to get adrenaline pumping so he can smell if they have a compatible organ he needs. Not just anyone's eyes or heart will do. And if he doesn't scare them he can't smell them, at least not from a distance. That's why the twins confused him for so long. They smelled too much alike for him to figure out who was the "donor" and what compatible part they had until he was right next to them.
This movie freaked me out when it first came out… the cave scene with the couple holding hands had a permanent place in my nightmares for a long time lol
You both getting annoyed with the stupid decisions made by the characters amused me. Spot on! Jeepers Creepers 2 is worth a watch although some characters are that annoying I found myself rooting for the monster!
It's been so long since i've seen this film that the end scene brought back all of the most disturbing thoughts it did the first time i saw it. I really has been so long i didn't even remember derry screaming in the factory. That shit is still just as disturbing now as it was before. I remember i used to hear the jeepers creepers song when i was working at olive garden not too long ago and always thought about this movie just because of that
This film was one of the best examples of a film with people that you actually think 'these two are too stupid to live', and later you actually think, Monster please get them. What are you waiting for?
I think the reason that she (the psychic ) looked at the sister is because the sister is stronger than the brother, maybe she’s older and so she looked to her because the guy would freak out. And she knew the sister had to be the stronger of the two so she was kind of telling the sister you need to watch out for him because he’s after him. That was my take on it when I watched it when it first came out. when this movie came out, my kids were teenagers and we had scary movie night and watch this. I had 16 teenagers 16 to 18 in my living room and they were all scared after watching this and then we watch final destination the first one it was a great night.
It was actually more she already knew what was going to happen and who would die like she said she only came to try and change the outcome but at the end of the day there was nothing they could do type deal it wasn’t she was older it was he saw way more than she did and the psychic knew that to basically she was giving a look of I know what’s going to happen but we might can change it
Jonathan Breck who plays the creature is so funny in the second jeepers creepers the dog is braking and wagin it's tail he says in the narrative he says the dog likes me
I've gotta say, Trish emotionally pleading for her brother's life and trying to chase them before realizing she can't do anything always gets me more than the final shot.
lowkey i use to find the stare down with the creeper so fcking creepy
Its Oscar worthy
When the Creeper dongs the cops after killing them all is a top 9 scene.
I 1000% agree!! I adore my little brother and I would sacrifice my life for his with no hesitation. So that's the reason I hate and avoid rewatching this movie, the idea that I couldn't save my brother and be left behind while God knows what happens to him...
I think the brothers should react to a Soldiers Story. One of Denzel Washington's first movies. It's about segregation in the military. It's a great watch.
The most disturbing thing about Derry's corpse at the end, is that the front of his face is fully intact, meaning the Creeper dug through the back of his head to reach his eyes without damaging them. The screaming from Derry at the end throughout the factory was him suffering through the Creeper digging through his skull before dying after he reached the brain.
OMG I never thought of that! Such a painful death!
Or he skinned him alive and peeled his flesh off.
Also the eyes were missing but you still could see tears down his face. People can say whatever they want but this movie From beginning to end is the only horror movie that genuinely give me chills. I was 8 years old when it came out and I’m 29 now and the movie still give me chills.
Stop 😭😭😭
Good catch
The most disturbing scene in this movie for me is seeing Trish just looking up at the Creeper flying away with her brother, knowing he's about to die a horrible death and you will never see him again.
I liked the low key ending, though. It brought out more tension and fear for me. Seeing Derry's eyeless face at the end was horrific.
This fucked me up!! My little brother is my best friend. I couldn't imagine this actually happening if I was Trish. That is truly horrifying
That's the worst fear of mine no chance of escape in an abandoned factory ur screwed

It just dawned on me that beating u literally could also be "B eating u"
Creeper has a sense of humour going around town letting everybody know.
Thats exactly what it meant, the psychic lady told Dary to think about it when he kept saying “what?? beating u ?” basically implying its B eating u
Literally if Darry never went to go back to investigate he would have lived.

this creepy af movie really hit a nerve back in the day. one of my fav scenes is when the police go to check out the cells looking for the creeper. when his flashlight lit up a cell, ALL the prisoners are jammed up in one corner because the creeper is eating on one of them in the other corner.
Watching this when I was 11 was horrifying. I felt so bad for Darry, thought I’d never see the actor again.
Flash forward 2 months: “If you can dodge a wrench. You can dodge a ball!”
Darry: “Wut?”
Omg I looooove dodgeball such a good movie and hilarious how was his face not broken after that idk 😂
Any other questions?
The sequel is definitely worth watching. Forget 3 and 4.
x2
I've seen a lot of horror films and most never scare me. I've developed such a tolerance. But this movie actually creeped ME out
Fun Fact: Darry's actor Justin Long had to be in the make up for that ending when JC looked at the camera with HIS eyes.
"He can fly?!"
(high pitched voice) "It's a demon!"
HAHAHAHA! Got the biggest laugh out of me!
The second one is just as good. Justin Long should've gotten an Oscar just for his emotional facial expressions alone in this movie.
Fun fact: Jonathan Breck who plays the Creeper, also plays a cop at the end of the movie (bald guy) 🙂
And the guy being put into jail while Derry and Trish talk to their folks is one of the coaches in JC2... He's the one that gets pulled from the front door of the bus...
One of my faves. At one point I watched it everyday so I can pretty much quote the whole thing. Now you HAVE to watch the second one...quite entertaining. Creeper has a lot more personality.
"Who calls their kid Derry?" " I guess they really like milk" lol that one just got me rolling!
Dary was just too nosey for his own good…😂😂😂 he said “Wow! No good ending! I’m actually surprised at that.” Yeah those were my sentiments too.
It's fear that attracts him--certain types of fear. That's why he went for the brother. Fun reaction, though--love it!
Exactly & the Creeper wanted his eyes because those dead bodies he saw down that pipe scared him. Tris never seen them
I have to say this is one of the coolest and the scariest creature ever . I just love it . 😅 Classic early 2000's horror. Awesome reaction as always guys.
Another great road trip horror is Joy Ride with a young Paul Walker.
So... the director... Victor Salva. *actual* Creeper. As in, convicted, name on a list creeper. Kinda puts the whole "sniffing" bit into context.
Just found out today the opening sequence is based on a true story! Great to see your guys reaction to this movie. One of my favorite scary films
8:41 that is very cute! I love how Octokrool is holding the dog 🐶, ❤😊🎃
Watched this movie every Halloween with my mom growing up as a kid. We love horror movies. I highly recommend the 2nd movie.
Don’t celebrate Halloween!!! Just don’t it!!!! Take my word for it.
When you look it up on google , the creeper saw off the back of his head ….. his screams will always give me chills 💯 . Like I can’t even imagine what it would’ve been like to have seen the world below you as your being flown off with this thing , and I can’t even more imagine… what was was going thru his head when the creeper took off his clothes and was walking towards him with that saw 😢💯
LOVED the unhappy ending!!! It was very unexpected when I watched it as a kid 😈🎬
This is one of those movies that tends to fly under the radar but I love it. I remember seeing this in the theater when it came out and how everyone was so stoked after the movie and wanted to talk about it.
This movie scared the shit out of me the first time I watched it and the brother/sister relationship is really what makes this film so emotionally effective!
I'm so mad that it took me LITERALLY 20 years to realise the license plate says B Eatng U not Beatin U. And it was only AFTER I watched it with my 16 year old son, and the psychic kept saying "think about it" that my son and I sat down, wrote out the license plate and went "OHHHHHH!!"
🤣
This movie is pretty good, I guess it’s considered a B-movie but it’s very well done. Great film, deserves a lot of praise.
I love the part where Darry sees the corpse collage in the basement.
The deleted scenes show that the Creeper was originally supposed to speak after he ate the tongue. In the uncut scene of the Creeper lifting up the cat lady, he says, "She don't smell too good... Darrius."
There's also an alternate ending that fully shows the face of the Creeper with Darrius' actor Justin Long, wearing the Creeper's makeup.
I'm a heavy truck mechanic and love movies that involve vehicles.
The creeper van was a 1940's Gmc COE that they modified. They built the back end to make what's called a panel van, and dropped cummins 5.9 turbo diesel in it and cranked her up a bit. That's the turbo whistle you hear when they do they chase POV shot. Those engines can handle upward of 500 to over 1000 hp when done correctly so the speed you see from the old clunker is horrifyingly real.
you know ya stuff
Lol... The license plate reads "be eating you"
My brother & I watched this for the first time... and all we kept saying was "hell naw" wouldn't be us. Plus, I always wondered how the monster got personalized tags.
Your reactions and facial expressions were PRICELESS!!!!!
“Wooo!!! BUILT. Different.” I always love that 💪🏼👍🏼 “Hey Mom” 👋🏼
You guys should definitely react to Jeepers Creepers 2 after this one!
Jeepers Creepers is a Halloween classic and the best, by this point the only best in the franchise. Give Jeepers Creepers 2 a watch, it’s really fun!
''PUNCH IT CHEWY''..... 🤣 ..... adorable doggie....... and y'all's reaction at the first good look at the Creeper was priceless....and, it took Derry's skin
You only get to see Jeepers Creeper for the first time once, hope you enjoyed it!! Please do Jeepers Creepers 2, it’s pretty good as well!!!
Justin Long was incredible in barbarian which just came out a couple months ago (it’s on HBO now), and he’s still killing it as a scream queen
He did great in tusk. Total scream king
I don’t think he’d appreciate being called a scream queen lol
@@Rico401Prov I really doubt he’d mind because he isn’t a little bitch
You need therapy for whatever is going on in yo life 💯
I am totally fine lol but you need to leave strangers alone if you only have empty criticisms 💯
“I don’t wanna play with you no more”
OMG I almost spat out my water laughing at that comment 😂🤣😂
This was the movie I was waiting for you guys to watch 😊. My brother and I really enjoyed this review. This movie is so chilling especially the ending 😨
You have to watch the second to really understand that he sniffs their fear and takes the part of the body he wants
I remember seeing this movie when it first came out and reading the license plate as "Beating U", then once you find out what he is doing, you realize it's "B Eating U"
LoL, he really applied for tags.
I hope you watch the second,. Gives more back ground to Jeepers creepers! Great reaction ❤️❤️
I’m glad you guys watched this one. I think it was really spooky and not given enough credit. Horrifying.
This movie terrified me and I didn’t want to drive out in the country side for 8 years until I forgot the movie but it always haunts me
I loved the react, I'd suggest part 2 as well...
The second one’s pretty good too
Haha! Yes! Thank you for reacting to this. It was my favorite as a kid
I remember begging my dad to let me and my brother watch this movie. Needless to say after it was all over, I was scared shit less. I remember looking at our closet for a while.
Thinking the Creeper was gonna come and get us. Also, the ending was very dark and messed up. We the audience can hear Darry begging for his life and not seeing it. Felt very helpless in the moment. Then it turned into heartbreak when we see his dead body with half of it gone and both of his eyes taken since that was what the Creeper wanted. Audiences usually like that Disney kind of ending where the good guys always win but sometimes, we need the villain to win and make it all the more real if that makes any sense. The Creeper was also kind of a badass too!
I remember being kind of shocked when I saw him doing flips and shit. Like what a boss. Of course, that was mostly because he had wings. The thing I also liked was not really or truly knowing what the Creeper actually is and we barely know anything.
I saw scream and jeepers creepers way too young, they were my nightmares for along time. So glad to see you guys react to this one.
Jeepers creepers 2 was the first one I watched so I always look at the original as 2 it took me years to finally watch jeepers creepers one
I always found the 'demon' scarier before its full appearance was revealed. The image of this large figure standing by the pipe in that heavy dark outfit and the hat always gives me chills. Its form was human, but you could tell that it somehow was something much more sinister. Showing too much can take away from the effect and that was the case for me watching this as a child.
The fear of something that looks human but ain't human, kicks in while watching this movie.
Interesting trivia, That opening scene was actually based on true events. Shown in a tv documentary series called Unsolved Mysteries.
The License Plate doesn't say "BEATNG U" - rather it says "B EATNG U".
Some foreshadowing for Darry. He always misreads the plates...
This is one of my favorite movies!!! The reason why the demon didn't kill the psychic woman is because she wasn't scared along with the sister. Well....at least they weren't as scared as the brother. The demon feeds off of fear.
No, it's smells compatible parts through fear/pheromones. They were all scared, they just weren't compatible donors.
@@hitmixhyepock9405the psychic literally says it’s fear
To this day, the sound of that horn in the truck absolutely haunts my dreams.
Recommendation for you to react: Wrong Turn (2003), good slasher movie.
YES!!! I second this recommendation. ☝🏿☝🏿
Sure. The first one served its purpose well, saw it in theaters just like Jeepers Creepers, for that matter. Then they did a sequel with Texas Battle (Lewis Romero from Final Destination 3) in the main role. After that, the franchise was milked beyond any sense of quality control. Unfortunate.
for reference, the director of this series is a sex offender convicted of filming porn with a twelve year old. He served just over a year in prison. That's scarier than ANYTHING in the film.
Yeah, I think he's also a member of (NAMBLA) North American Man/Boy Love Association which I thought was something South Park made up. It even kinda shows in his writing like his other movie Powder
As much as I loved this movie I cant watch it anymore. The creeper and the movie is all the more sick knowing the backstory behind the director.
@@Kronical69420 I usually try to separate movies from the actors or directors and just judge the actual movie itself but it's hard to with this one, especially when he lingers on certain shots, it just makes it uncomfortable and when you know what he's done it's just hard to watch. And it sucks because I really like this and the sequel (just the second I like, hate the other two), I will still watch it every once in a while but it's not easy to.
Can't wait for them to react to jeepers creepers 2
I'd always thought it was weird that The Creeper seemed to mostly target men, even as a kid watching it. It always seemed sexual made me uneasy. When I found out about the director when they announced the 3rd movie was being made, everything immediately clicked into place and I felt sick to my stomach that not only did this convicted child predator turn his own monstrous essence into an even bigger, immortal monster of his own creation, meaning he is completely self aware that of how much of a monster he is and gets off on it by immortalizing himself, but he was allowed to make MULTIPLE films and profit off of it. And it's barely even talked about. They still making movies and people are still watching, most of them having no clue...
I love movies from this era. My favorite part is looking back at the year it was released and realizing my parents took me or dropped me off at some GREAT horror films at a stupid age.
Saw this one in theater with my mom when I was NINE. First “R” movie was Texas Chainsaw Massacre in ‘03. LOL
The old lady with a gun is Eileen Brennan(Mrs Peacock) from Clue. I know you both loved her in that.
I know October is almost over but you guys should watch “Tales from the hood”. It’s a classic.
Yes, you’re correct. When he eats the cops tongue he speaks after his face is revealed behind the old cat lady. He says “She don’t smell too good, Darrius” in a southern accent. It was much more frightening never hearing his voice so they took that scene out.
I saw this in theaters at probably 8 years old. Crazy to think about. Loved it then and I love it now. The sequels are… less than stellar.
Darry screaming at the end still haunts me to this day.
The cat lady is Mrs. Peacock from Clue. And I'm going to disagree with everyone else. It doesn't feed off fear. He needs the victim frightened to get adrenaline pumping so he can smell if they have a compatible organ he needs. Not just anyone's eyes or heart will do. And if he doesn't scare them he can't smell them, at least not from a distance. That's why the twins confused him for so long. They smelled too much alike for him to figure out who was the "donor" and what compatible part they had until he was right next to them.
i can see it
This movie freaked me out when it first came out… the cave scene with the couple holding hands had a permanent place in my nightmares for a long time lol
I think that part 2 is the best out of the franchise but part one is the scariest and definitely the saddest ending
The ending traumatized me as a kid. 😆
You both getting annoyed with the stupid decisions made by the characters amused me. Spot on! Jeepers Creepers 2 is worth a watch although some characters are that annoying I found myself rooting for the monster!
It's been so long since i've seen this film that the end scene brought back all of the most disturbing thoughts it did the first time i saw it. I really has been so long i didn't even remember derry screaming in the factory. That shit is still just as disturbing now as it was before. I remember i used to hear the jeepers creepers song when i was working at olive garden not too long ago and always thought about this movie just because of that
I love the way you two react on this. Can't wait for the reaction on Jeepers Creepers (2003).
This film was one of the best examples of a film with people that you actually think 'these two are too stupid to live', and later you actually think, Monster please get them. What are you waiting for?
I hope they waited for the scene after the credits.
It’s quick but beautiful
The actress who plays gisele played in tv series bones as well
Poor Darry, didnt make it the end. Great classic with such an unexpected ending...Tune into part 2 next😈😈😈
I think the reason that she (the psychic ) looked at the sister is because the sister is stronger than the brother, maybe she’s older and so she looked to her because the guy would freak out. And she knew the sister had to be the stronger of the two so she was kind of telling the sister you need to watch out for him because he’s after him. That was my take on it when I watched it when it first came out. when this movie came out, my kids were teenagers and we had scary movie night and watch this. I had 16 teenagers 16 to 18 in my living room and they were all scared after watching this and then we watch final destination the first one it was a great night.
It was actually more she already knew what was going to happen and who would die like she said she only came to try and change the outcome but at the end of the day there was nothing they could do type deal it wasn’t she was older it was he saw way more than she did and the psychic knew that to basically she was giving a look of I know what’s going to happen but we might can change it
Jonathan Breck who plays the creature is so funny in the second jeepers creepers the dog is braking and wagin it's tail he says in the narrative he says the dog likes me
I already told you he is a demon of sorts he has wings and it’s very strong physically that’s how it gets the bodies up there
"uh oh, the hoblers coming" lmao killed me
This is my first scary movie I watched by myself when in was 7 years old and tiled this day it is still my favorite movie to watch .
This was one of the very few horrors that actually scared me shitless. The part where the creeper was on top of the police car was freaky.
You guys should watch part two of this movie it’s awesome
