I'm sad that Mod has practically invalidated all his kickass reviews by giving Jeepers Creepers (from writer/director of POWDER!!!) more than two skulls.

The first fifteen minutes are exciting, but once he turns into that ridiculously unscary thing, it becomes so bad it surpasses funny and dives into boring.  Nothing new or exciting about that movie AT ALL!

F minus!

It makes me sad though because with the exception of The Others (which wasn't that bad) and his underration of Dead Alive, I was with him... I was really enjoying the reviews.

this really bums me out.  because obviously i respect your tastes, RK and mac,  and know both of you love horror and aren't snobs and i cannot figure out how we've felt SO differently on this.  when i first saw it on video i had zero expectations and thought it would probably suck.  and i thought it was so great.  but after hearing all the negative comments abou the film i figured when i rewatched it some of those things would start to show.  but i've watched it 2 or 3 times since then and i still think it's good!  

i almost didn't watch it last night because i KNEW this would be the reception and also because i thought there was a good possibility i wouldn't like it anymore.  but i still thought it was good, so i don't know what's wrong with my taste-o-meter but it feels like we're watching different movies here.  i also knew that the 7 skulls would receive scrutiny above all and during the film tried to see if a 5 or 6 was applicable but i wouldn't have been honestly rating it and i just felt a 7.  this film has probably been my most difficult battle on this board.  because i dont like it in an ironic way or something i just really think its good even when i WANT it to be bad, i don't think it is.  

there's still almost 3 weeks to go and the goal is to do 30 (if possible) without repeats of last years picks. so hopefully you'll be with me for whatevers next and our differences in opinion/rating wont discount the overall effort.  (i wasnt even aware anyone was reading them.)   :yabbse-undecided:

I'll forgive you, Mod.  It just really shocked me.

I look forward to your reviews, in fact, I recently redid my Netflix queue in favor of horror films hoping to join in and review some myself (stealing your formula, of course).

It's so weird that one of the like ten movies I actually agree with modage on is Jeepers Creepers.

Jeepers Creepers was a great twenty minute short film that sadly kept going for seventy more minutes.  It almost felt like it turned into a comedy as the movie progressed, complete with the "innapropriately cheery music" device ripped off from the X-Files (and from whatever the X-Files ripped that off from).  I give it credit for having the balls to kill a main character, but the road that it took to get to that was just embarassing.  Almost "Darkness Falls" embarassing.  Not quite, but almost.

It doesn't make you a bad person for liking it, though, Mod.  One of my favorite horror movies is "Event Horizon", and believe me, I never hear the end of that.

I wanted to quote this so bad that I actually ended up doing just that.
Raven haired Linda and her school mate Linnea are studying after school, when their desires take over and they kiss and strip off their clothes. They take turns fingering and licking one another's trimmed pussies on the desks, then fuck each other to intense orgasms with colorful vibrators.
