WHAT?!?!?! Ummm, ok, after reading some of these comments, only one thing came to mind...did they see the same movie that I did?!?! The first third of the movie was actually doing just fine, riding a 6.5 or 7 out of 10. Then things went downhill from there, and in quite a hurry. The Creeper was not that frightening in his true form. If anything, his human form was more ominous. I also started noticing the implausibility of everything that was going on, and I am not one to dwell on these things during any movie, usually suspending disbelief when I stroll into a theater. I thought that the creeper must have taken the BRAINS from these two at the very beginning of the movie because they keep on doing stupid things after stupid things. I found myself thinking, "Why are they doing that?" ABOUT EVERY 5 MINUTES!
Here are more ramblings before I forget-It seems like that there was nothing going on during the movie. Ever watch a movie asking yourself at the end, "Boy, nothing really got accomplished.." This is a prime example. We don't get to see enough of the Creeper...Half of the time I was rooting for the kids to die for their stupidity...The old lady psychic in the movie was pointless, with the exception of having the title make a little sense...AND THE ENDING WAS DISEASED! I can tell that the people in the theater (about 25-30) kept sitting there, hoping and praying for more; then the credits started rolling, and out came the collective groan from the audience. There was not really a point that I was afraid of the Creeper, which, of course, is not good for a horror movie...And what was up with the day after the creeper did his thing? The police station was back to normal, with everyone acting like nothing ever happened! Where was the SWAT team? Where was the Army?
Well, all in all, I gave it a 4/10. Like I said, it was riding high at the beginning, but the ending left a bad taste in my mouth. You want to be scared? Go rent the Exorcist, Stir of Echoes, Alien, or Event Horizon. Maybe shell out a few bucks and check out The Others in the theater, probably the most under-rated scary movie that I have seen. Was JC Worth the 6 bucks I paid for it? Probably not. Either go see an early showing or wait to rent it. Good Premise, poor execution. A better ending (which I guess is mostly opinion) would have bumped this to above a 5 (6.5?), but when the dust settles, we are still left with a very average horror flick.
