Author	Topic: Jeepers Creepers Soundtrack?

Jeff78 Oscar® Winner	Does anyone know if there is a soundtrack coming out for this film. I saw the film last night and is one of the best horror movies I have seen in recent years. Keeps you on the edge of your seat through the movie. The score was great too. Jeff

TimT Oscar® Winner	That was one of the stupidest movies I've seen this year. I think that movie was making fun of cliched horror movies or something.

Taylor Oscar® Winner	It's an homage to old school horror techniques. Too bad some people think that all horror movies need to be SCREAM. Good movie, great score, great atmosphere. This review is courtesy of a longtime HORROR movie fan. I am so tired of people bashing this movie.

Al Oscar® Winner	The terrific first 40 minutes made me think the film would be a genre classic, but the rest was pretty average. The moonlight shot at the climax gave me goosebumps from the creepiness and the emotion, a moment that horror movies these days rarely possess. I think it may have been better if it had ended with this great moment. Still, the ending was adequate and pretty unique for being disturbing. This and a few other scenes I think would have been better with a more outstanding score. I heard that Varese said they will not release this score, so it doesn't seem likely we'll see a release.

You have earned my undying respect...this film is the Phantasm for a new millenium....as a long time horror fan it was so great to see a film that respected and understood the genre, used not ONE frame of damnable CGI, and had a wonderfully nihilistic and hopeless finale, not to mention leaving so much to the viewers imagination. That is the reason the Scream crowd(see above) has not embraced this film, but watch which one survives in the long run, which will be more admired in the end. And I hope that Salvay's score is issued, it's a great non-thematic orchestral romp, with some of the most fiendish LA horn playing I've heard in awhile. So sad that the kids don't appreciate a good monster movie anymore,this is a great one.... Sean

Hasta Oscar® Winner	I'm sorry, this film simply blew. Sure, it may be a homage to old school horror techniques, but it is still fairly bad. It wasn't scary nor shocking; hell it wasn't even interesting. It COULD have been a lot more stylish and interesting, but there were far too many problems in the way.

scoreguy16 Oscar® Winner	This movie.... it was extremely dumb. It made me feel like it was aimed to much at teenagers that are dumb... Actually, I don't know how it made me feel. But I hated it! And it pisses me off that it got number 1 at the box office because people like me were dumb enough to go see it. Clayton

Hasta Oscar® Winner	By the way, it's interesting to note that the director had sex with a 10 year old and video taped it...

spitfire Oscar® Nominee	I agree with Hasta. "Jeepers Creepers" was directed by a convicted child molester. There is no real reason why this guy should still making movies. Ryan G (I'm new here, but dammit my opinion counts!)

Justin Oscar® Winner	What Hasta said about the director gives me a reason not to watch the film at all. A sick man making sick films and doing sick things. How do people like this continue to exist?

And the umpteenth version of Halloween will be a masterpiece? Hollywood has f'ed this genre up so badly that what do most horror fans today want? Scream 15? Freddy vs. Jason (who cares??? and if it does get made, I bet it will blow), Halloween 16: The Night Michael Retires To The Old Folks Home? I bet the people who hated this movie are the same ones that will love Soul Survivors (PG13 horror?)and probably would think Night Of The Living Dead, Texas Chainsaw and Dawn of the Dead would suck if made today for the first time too. I respect the opinions of those who didn't like the movie. I am just damn glad MGM didn't turn this into some PG13 teeny flick. Salva did an excellent job directing this as an homage to those who LOVE the HORROR genre and are tired of wink-wink, self referential Scream type clones. Valentine anybody?

I can ask my MGM contact when I get back in town (I'm on the East Coast this week) but figured someone might know something.... Dan

Al Oscar® Winner	I went to the movies to see a horror film, and it delivered, despite Salva's dark past. (I hated Powder, by the way. But Goldsmith's score is heavenly.) Let's not even get started on a person's past reflecting on the quality of their work. Lewis Carroll had a thing for little girls and yet "Alice in Wonderland" is a classic, read by many kids and adults.

scoreguy16 Oscar® Winner	Excuse me, but the movie itself sucked before I heard about his past. And if we spend money on seeing this movie, he'll get more money. Do we want to give money to a kiddy raper??? Clayton

James Oscar® Winner	quote: Originally posted by Al: Lewis Carroll had a thing for little girls and yet "Alice in Wonderland" is a classic, read by many kids and adults. Perhaps I shouldn't get into this one... ...oh, what the hell. Lewis Carroll's "thing" for little girls was slightly different than Salva's problem. Carroll's interest in young girls was the result not of sexual fascination, but frustration. Dodgson (Carroll) was an incredibly shy person, especially around women. He held a preoccupation with little girls because around them he felt no pressure to be "attractive" in any way; he could simply be himself without the tension. Of course, if you take it the way Karoline Leach tells it, then Carroll's "pedophilia" is nothing more than a myth perpetuated by his family to make him seem more eccentric and cover up the relationship he had with Alice Liddell's mother...

Lancelot Oscar® Winner	Gentlemen, having heard from what seems to be both sides of the argument, do you think that we could make a mature decision here, and drop any further discussion, before this becomes something really ugly?
posted 09-05-2001 06:08 AM PT (US)

Al Oscar® Winner	James, You're correct, of course. I was just saying that Carroll too had a "thing," albeit different. Clayton's brushing off of the movie with the word "sucked" has convinced me that there's no need dragging this on. Lancelot, I really wish Salva's past hadn't been brought up, seeing as I couldn't notice any influence of it in the film itself. I'm done with this.

Except that in this R-rated horror flick, the only skin we see happens to be Justin Long's chest - and not the scrumptious Gina Philips. Whatever happened to the good old days of horror flicks with rampant Corman-esque T&A? Dan
posted 09-05-2001 07:02 AM PT (US)

Al Oscar® Winner	Yes, Dan. The rose tattoo on Justin's stomach was a bit odd, (I wouldn't have thought anything of it if it was by another filmmaker) but it's an effective device, adding to the impact of the finale. Especially since we know who it is while camera pans slowly, yet we don't know the exact fate until the pan ends. Nice irony too, seeing as Justin was the curious one who wanted to see what was down the pipe.

Boatnh8084 Oscar® Winner	It pisses me off that so many decent, talented individuals are trying to break into the film world, while someone like Salva is allowed to helm movies. God that gets on my nerves. To think i actually enjoyed the movie before 5 minutes ago.

majestyx Oscar® Winner	quote: Originally posted by PeterK: Did this ever get answered? Did it? Well, since you are carrying it, I'd guess that it is a legitmate release. Strange thing is, there is no company name on it whatsoever. It's listed at CDNow as being issued thru Free Inc., but a check of this shows this is the only release they have. To Sean: After finally seeing this, I think you are giving it a little too much credit. I did like the nihilistic approach, but there were far too many plot holes and just "dumb" moves by the two main characters to consider it to be in the same league with Phantasm. It seemed to combine a little of everything - the "home" of the monster being like Freddy Kruger's boiler room, not to mention the hat, the vehicle akin to the Tall Man's hearse, the "quest" of the monster bearing a striking resemblance to the plot of the film I, Madman, the scarecrow scene reminiscent to the film Scarecrows, the chase of the monster a cross between Aliens and the Wizard of Oz (think the flying monkeys). Still, Phantasm at least kept you wondering just what was going on and drove you to watch it over and over again, and even after 3 sequels, you STILL are trying to figure it out. Jeepers Creepers seemed more like a pretty straightforward slasher flick with no real reason to watch it again. The lighting in the church basement was especially laughable. I was a bit let down by it, as I guess that I expected more. I wouldn't consider it terrible, but I certainly wouldn't consider it a classic.

OHMSS76 Oscar® Winner	Michael, I guess we must agree to disagree on this one! After so many tired "I Know What You Did" clones, etc,etc JCreepers was a real nice find for me,and kept me going as to what the hell was going to happen in the end(and there really is a lot left to the imagination, things we may never know...another plus in my book). The genre has become so tired, so afraid to take risks that the 'doomed' tone of this movie reminded me why I love horror films. There were many sly references(after listening to Salva's commentary on DVD, I think they were unintentional, since he was more influenced by Universal monster films than anything), such as that long opening shot of the road(Texas Chainsaw Massacre),the truck following silently behind(Duel), the brother/sister pairing(a reverse take on the brothers in Phantasm)....I know there are more, but I'm too tired to come up with them right now! I compare it to Phantasm, because it takes a normal situation, and injects a total element of fantasy, removing all traces of normalcy, so that comparison is really only on the surface. The Phantasm films, sadly, lost the interest of the investors, and it shows in Oblivion( I hope Coscarelli can make the Roger Avary script he really wants to someday). Ok, I guess you get the idea....it's funny that people are really divided on this film, and for me it was one of the happier filmgoing experiences of the past summer, when the mrs. and I saw this and The Others the same day. Either way, you must agree it beat the hell out of going to 13 Ghosts!! NP: Nosferatu(Popol Vuh) Nice and relaxing actually! Best, Sean
