Excellent but underrated film
A brilliant film that helped define a genre
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Bad acting, ridiculous plot special effects from the late 70's...nothing else to say!
We already know this demon is completely impervious to everything hence invincible hence why is there a sequel? Or prequel... whatever.The film wastes no time on gore and action, I'll give it that. From the first minute - it's on, which can't be said of many horror films that waste time on "character study" and "build-up". Unfortunately, the flick also wastes no time on being stupid.1. A truck that attacks cops and contains dozens of corpses is practically ABANDONED by cops, towed away like some ordinary vehicle by just two of them. DUMB.2. The demon leaves the two cops - then comes back. Why did he leave in the first place? Why did he kill just one of them? Demons work in mysterious ways.3. And why does the female cop point her gun at him - while he's killing another cop - yet doesn't shoot? This is a COP, aren't they supposed to be trigger-happy? If there is anything that should trigger the happiness to pull the trigger, it's facing a demon. Hasn't Hollywood's Left been telling us for decades that American cops can't wait to kill someone? DUMB.4. Why isn't the army involved? The cops use an ancient machine-gun instead, as if the military is too busy to send troops to help out this town. Because OBVIOUSLY every little town should be able to handle a major supernatural threat on their own, without pestering the Pentagon for help.5. The four teens discovering the truck - a fun scene but so stupid.6. "No phone service here". Really? 2017, and still we have the new-old "can't get a signal here" baloney. Horror writers and mobile phones: they just can't seem to solve that obstacle. Writers of thrillers and horrors must hate mobile phones.7. OK, fine, we know the demon is powerful and a world-class athlete and all, but how the hell did it manage to impale both teens with one spear throw when the teens were running away next to each other as opposed to one behind the other? Even "Transporter 3" doesn't play around with basic laws of physics to such a silly extent.8. That stupid argument between the cops over the demon's severed hand. There are better ways to do exposition. And there are times when no exposition is needed: we get it, the hand is key, stop boring us with nonsense.9. The fat cop's only purpose seems to be to be a nuisance and for others to waste screen time trying to convince him to get on with the program.10. Does the guy who directed/wrote this even know how a ricochet works? Ricochet doesn't mean "goes back to sender" as Salvo seems to believe. Pretty silly.11. The truck driver turns his back on the monster to phone the cops. Why must everyone be an imbecile, Salvo?Despite being stupid, it's not an awful movie because it isn't too boring and visually it avoids the modern trappings of being mono-colour. It's refreshing to see a normal-looking horror film that isn't filmed through drab blue-grey filters. Would have been a tighter film if it'd been trimmed 15 minutes or so; lousy useless dialog and other nonsense waste screen time.
First of all: The movie has some very good efforts invested, but more bad ones, too.Jeepers Ceepers 3 dares to face the problem of sequels rarely succeeding. Such is noteworthy, and the first 7 minutes of the movie I would have hoped this to become 8 or 9 stars.It did not, for several reasons.The insectoid actors efforts, and the police conviction were good acting. The story considered that the 'bad guy' had been successful before AND that the local superstition was already proven a rural legend!But key mistakes were made:YA is the shortage for young adult. Not for alternate-sexuality ugly teenage-twiddle brains.Actors who are busy showing how gay they are cannot focus on the acting, and hence spoil it for more viewers than they score outside of films with naked homosexuals.The plot runs low, gets boring and lengthy. Lack of additional content, side-kick characters adding their view of the legend. Too linear with that little bit of granny knows how to dig-out bad guys secret weakness.There is no final, as climate is so lacking I daresay it doesn't exist. Poho County police staring in disbelief, frustration, and helplessness from behind the barrel of the own shotgun did not remedy this either.Given health and 2 weeks of care (plus watching the 3 movies again) I could retell it as a Dracula or Alien story, and so could any even just mediocre roleplaying GM or ST.
My biggest problem with this movie is that they changed the monster's whole back story and then had to spend 40 minutes explaining it. And not explaining it like, "Here's how it fits in with the first 2" but more like "You don't understand what's going on because it's all stupid". It's not as bad as the others say, I see worse all the time, but it's not good.
