Day 149: "You know the part in scary movies when somebody does something really stupid, and everybody hates them for it? This is it."

I loves me my monster movies.  I heard some good things about Jeepers Creepers, so I thought it was high time I watched it.  Not one of my better decisions.  A mediocre monster, mediocre script, and mediocre acting combine in a confluence of astounding mediocrity.  This had the potential to be pretty good, the origin story of The Creeper wasn't bad, but the rest of it is just...meh.  I understand that the filmmakers were trying to create the new Jason or Freddy here, but it just didn't work out all that well.  It's weird, If I hate a movie I have a lot to say; if I love a movie, I have a lot to say;  with a movie I am completely apathetic towards, words escape me.

A young, relatively unknown cast is here, the only standout was Justin Long.  I'm really sorry here readers, but there just isn't a lot to say about this, good or bad.  For every cool moment in this, there is an inexplicably bad one to offset it.  The usual horror movie idiocy applies here as well, as the victims repeatedly make decisions that place them firmly in harm's way, even when the option to escape and put the situation in their rear-view mirror is wide open.  I just didn't get it.

If you're desperate for a horror movie and everything else is checked out, give it a whirl, otherwise, there are much better options.  I wanted to enjoy this more, but I really couldn't get into it.  5/10.

See you tomorrow, and GO WATCH A MOVIE!!
