Been a while since I wrote a review, but this is the one to bring me back to the keyboard....Genuinely creepy, this is the perfect antidote for the "I Know.."/"Valentine"/"Urban Legend" virus infecting our movie screens. (I fear the upcoming "Soul Survivors") This one doesn't fool around, the "Creeper" is truly frightening and the whole "middle of nowhere" setting works wonders. You don't see too much blood, but what you have are two likeable characters running for their lives from one of the most vile, scary villains I've ever seen. The pace is relentless, kicking in about 10 minutes into the film, and we get some really disturbing imagery (the underground chamber is fantastic). Great weirdo supporting characters, too, with some pretty black humor. Horror fans rejoice, Victor Salva has given us one of the finest since the 80's heyday. I loved it....If I have one complaint, though, it's the psychic character. Existing only for exposition, I think it would have been scarier knowing even less of the Creeper. Otherwise the two leads do a great job, the beast is really cool, and it's the most heartpounding thing in a long, long time. I'll be avoiding the back roads for awhile....
It was funny though to note the reaction of the teeny-bopper filled audience I saw this with. Throughout the movie there were screams galore, and during one of the best scenes (you'll know it when you see it) EVERYONE was screaming "GOOO!!" Seemed everyone was diggin' it. But afterwards all the little "Scream-ies" were complaining about the ending. So---GOD BLESS VICTOR SALVA!!!!

..But she's no Catriona Macoll. Wow.....I like "Zombie," "The Beyond," even have a special place for "The Gates of Hell." For some idea of this one's rank in the Fulci canon, "Aenigma" is better. This one makes no sense, the gore is cheap, and everyone, including Lucio must have been sleepwalking when they made this. Sure it ain't the worst thing ever, but it's pretty bad. Flatly directed with a potentially interesting storyline, Fulci missed the target big time with this.
