Directed by: Polonia Brothers Starring: Mark and John Polonia After seeing Lowtax's review of the movie back in 2000, I resolved that I would one day see it. I finally bought it off half.com for $2.50 in January 2002, and I watched it with my mom. She said she nearly fell asleep. The movie starts off with one of the Polonia brothers rambling on and on in front of a wall about the first movie, which I haven't seen. This goes on for several minutes, and then it goes to the present day. According to Lowtax's review, the Earth was destroyed in the first way, but I'm going to disregard that. The main characters consist of one of the Polonia brothers, his wife (and probably cousin), and the two kids. Also there's a priest, a old lady, and a guy working in a warehouse, who are all cut to with absolutely no introduction or character development (I feel silly mentioning the phrase "character development" in a drat Polonia flick review) I will be honest. There's really not that much funny about the film. It tries hard to be funny-cheap, but just comes off looking dismal and depressing. I feel weird saying this, but this actually gave it a somewhat creepy feel to it. Enough to give me a couple of bad dreams later on. I certainly was more scared by this movie than by stuff like Jeepers Creepers. Then there's the whole "crisis of faith" thing put in, which reminded me of Signs. Of course, the Polonias felt that God was too big a concept to put in their film, so they settled with Santa Claus. Who proves his existence in the film. I wish I had made that up. Overall, it's not funny, a little scary, and is somewhat like Signs, except with about .001% of the budget. RATING: 1.5 PROS: It's actually a bit scary! CONS: Everything else ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0366436/

Okay, "scary" isn't really the right word. "Depressing" would be better. It IS terrifying when you think about what better purposes the money spent on this could have gone to. And Feeders 2 is still scarier than Jeepers Creepers, though I think The Sound of Music would also be scarier than Jeepers Creepers.
