Jeepers Creepers

A brother and sister on spring break from college decide to take the scenic route home--an endless, desolate stretch of road through central Florida. Along the way they are run off the road by a strange truck, and later they see its driver disposing of what looks like a human body down a drainpipe near an old church. Derry (Justin Long) convinces his older sister, Trish (Gina Philips), that they have to investigate, and despite all better judgment, they do. That's just the beginning of this wild horror film, directed by Victor Salva (POWDER). Salva keeps the audience guessing by never settling into any particular style or formula. The film veers gleefully in all directions, referencing such classics as NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, and even THE TERMINATOR, along the body-strewn way. There is no shortage of clever humour amid the shocks, gross-outs, and nail-biting suspense, and Philips and Long exhibit a refreshingly believable brother-sister rapport. The supporting cast includes Patricia Belcher as a psychic and Eileen Brennan as an eccentric cat owner. Francis Ford Coppola is the executive producer.

  • Spooky little horror with a feel-bad ending that begins promisingly but quickly loses the plot.

    Why Why Why Why...

    Why do these films get made? It's not scary, not funny, not anything. Simply a waste of time. Having seen the trailer I decided to go and see it in the Cinema. Never again will I see a film based solely on a trailer. It leaves you feeling angry, wanting your money back and wanting your time back.

    What did make me laugh though was the fact that they made a sequel. I haven't seen that and I doubt very much that I ever will.

    Good old fashioned monster-in-the-shadows moive. Surprisingly little gore for a modern film and not bad. Truck chase reminded me of "Duel" though that has little eough to do with this film!
