[Jeepers Creepers]

I have been wanting to see this movie but im not sure to buy it .They are selling it at sam goody on dvd for $25 well i don't really wanna waste $25 in a movie that i don't know if its good or not!I've only seen like the first 30min. on www.virtuetv.com I started to download it but then i couldn't see the film i only could hear it!
So has anyone seen it? Please tell me if its good

[Razorblade Smile]

I would suggest renting it first. Most Blockbusters and Hollywood videos carry this flick.

I haven't seen it myself, but here's a review I found on it.

I guess its okay,and the killers mask is creepy....6/10

[skweemkween]

I think this is a great ,creepy, 70's movie.
It's got everything! Psychological stuff, a love story, kids bein' stalked, creepy pedophiles!!! Plus, Brooke Shields!!!

If I were you, Puerto Rico, I would be get it! Hey, you can always sell it, right??

[Jeepers Creepers]

My name is JEEPERS CREEPERS I guess ill check it this one out thanx!!!!

[Jason13thh]

Sure you can get it !!! what the heck !! you must own it !!!
All the slasher fans have to own this great flick from the mid 70's ?
Sure it is not your usual cheesy slasher, no, you don't have that.
However if you look for a creepy, gloomy atmosphere, full of symbols.
Very good and the characters are believable, good couple : the former Spages couple.
The bodycount is weak and it is not gory at all but the film does not need that.
9/10

[Cabrini Green]

Yeah it is a good seventies slasher that has beautifuly filmed sets and a good story. The DVD has an informative commentary by the director Alfred Sole and the editor. It's a keeper in my collection. I give it a 9/10 as well.

[Jeepers Creepers]

Thanx ill be buying it soon.

This movie is very very good. A top of the otch 70's slasher, it's funny though, i bought itfor 2.99 dvd at Sam Goody (or Suncoast) and now they moved the price up to like 30 bucks, still think its worth that much, its great.

[The Prowler]

Jason13th was dead on about this one. I initially didnt like it after the first viewing but now i think its worthy of its praise. The acting is way above par and the cinematography was top notch in this. I own the vhs format of the anniversary edition and the quality is amazing on that so i can imagine how good the dvd is. This movie grows on u i think and gets better after every viewing. I also thought the music was excellent in this movie. One of the better scores i have heard.

Alice, Sweet Alice is a Great movie IMO. It has a Argento type feel to it with nice kill scenes, plus you get to see Brooke Shield's in her first movie hehe....Its a most have.

[Gypsy Poet69]

This is a weird as shit movie. I liked it but Ihate seeing evil kids in movies and the girl in this is just creepy. I read that it was a 21 year old that played her, becuase of the psycological content. I sure wouldn't want my kid to play in a movie like that. It is a good rent it is right up there with "Sisters"

[SykkBoy]

I've owned this on video for about 10 years now...time for me to upgrade to the DVD...

damn good flick, creepy atmosphere, works as a nice little whodunit as well as a horror movie and just a decent night with a good flick and a bigass tub of popcorn...

ALICE, SWEET ALICE (1977) Directed by Alfred Sole. Filmed one year earlier under the title "Communion", but released much later than the film's completion due to the success of child star Brooke Shields (who also starred in "Pretty Baby" and "King Of The Gypsies" during the late 70's). Brooke isn't even the title character in this horror classic. That honor belongs to another excellent child actress and one-hit wonder (Paula E. Sheppard). "Alice" centers around a divorced woman (Linda Miller, daughter of Jackie Gleason; sister of Jason Miller; aunt to Jason Patric...talk about "six degrees of Kevin Bacon"!), her two young daughters (Sheppard and Shields) and the rash of spree killings linking their family to the Catholic church in their New Jersey neighborhood. Shields has the Janet Leigh-Drew Barrymore role of Alice's younger sister Karen, who is brutally slain during the film's first 15 minutes on the day of her First Communion. Suspicion falls upon her jealous, disturbed older sister (Sheppard, wearing a yellow rain slicker and creepy doll's mask for most of the film), but this whodunit is far from being simple. There are twists and turns abound, as well as excellent character development (as scripted by Rosemary Ritvo and director Sole) and interesting relationships among the interconnected characters. The unknown supporting cast (Niles McMaster, Tom Signorelli, Mildred Clinton, Alphonso DeNoble and Jane Lowry) is high-strung but effective. This gem is available on video (you'll have to hunt for it, though), and was also released under a third title: "Holy Terror". The "Alice, Sweet Alice" moniker is the most superior, reminiscent of the classic Bette Davis fright fest "Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte". My grade: An “A” for Alice.

Haven't seen it but with all the positive talk I've seen on the boards I'm going to have to. Well thats all for now GOoD JOURNEY my fellow schmoes.

[malaria]

I liked Alice Sweet Alice. It's really creepy. But I thought that WAAAAY too much of the film is spent pissing around with the pathetically useless detectives on the case. Watch it again and you'll see what I mean. They are so fuckin' useless it's suprising any of them ended up on a murder case.

[The Claw]

It's good i guess. A little slow but good enought, its worth the money, i mean its not that bad, unless your impatitent with waiting. it's not the best, but its good.
