IF only this was..
The only thing I can really say about this movie is that if this one was the original title today we wouldn't have the Jeepers Creepers franchise. It is sincerely one of the worse movie I ever seen, especially if we take in consideration it belongs to a well established name.
Yes, a remake is always a danger, a bigger one than a simple sequel, but here there is so much wrong, it cannot even to aspire to be a trash cult, neither of course a beloved B-Movie.
If Hollywood is good in making Movies, it excels when is about actors casting and storytelling, which is two of the big reasons we watch and love USA movies almost everywhere in the world, here in Europe like in Asia or Africa. And in order to be appealing to such variety of people and cultures, it means they are really good especially where is needed to be able to relate or at least to be understandable.
This movie is one of those very few in which those two very important aspects are totally missed. The casting is very poor, acting is not there, you can tell they are people who are pretending to be someone else, which IS acting of course, but the point is doing it while you make the audience forget you are a real person, and give us the total full immersion of the fantasy. Really bad acting no one excluded.
The cosplay fair scenes, for example, are so bad, with so few extra, basically there is only the performers and almost no crowd, with some scene in which the performers are looking into the camera! Horrific indeed, no pun untended.
I mean, they could copy Rob Zombie imaginary and visual and having something real cool, instead they went for this cheap situation, it feels like they hired some cool performers "psycho Circus" and than said to them : ok go and do your things... Maybe because I love that style of things, I am pretty disappointed.
The story is the other huge problem because it's so basic to result silly and again, not in the right way: It's just lazy, goes nowhere, has many holes leading to nothing, and one of the most un-impressive final scene ever. Which is something considering we are talking about horror.
The cherry on top is, as everybody say, an utterly bad CGI running during almost all movie, one of the worse we ever had since CGI is massively used in movies. - gorillafoot - 5 April 2024
People are taking this movie way to seriously
Not sure what people expect. Nothing is going to stack up to the original. Especially with the budget it had. Was this perfect, nope. But, it's a fun horror movie. They made something with what they had. The acting wasn't terrible. This would be good for Halloween movie. Anyone that has gone to a haunted house is going to know the vibe this movie has. They're just having fun making something they love. Horror. Face it. All but the first JC movie are pretty cheesy. But, that's what I love about horror. People getting paid to do what they love.
The CGI was obvious, but not bad compared to other movies. Would have been better without it and real effect. Unfortunately, those days are gone. We are going to get what we get.
