Even the woeful title turns out to have a more sinister significance, with a Johnny Mercer song appropriated for the most unpleasant of reasons. Salva also draws on classical literature (Dante's "Inferno") and urban legend to create some really startling imagery, and the kind of gore that some may find excessive. He manages to overcome the implausibility of the tale through self-referential dialogue (the characters acknowledge they're doing the kind of dumb thing people do in horror movies), and some exquisitely well-placed shocks. I probably saw it for the first time when I was around 15 years old.

While I obviously dont approve of his actions, I think the movie itself is very solid. I know there is a lot of controversy surrounding these films because of the director being a convicted child molestor. Writer-director Victor Salva based his script on an incident experienced by nosy travellers. Jeepers Creepers (2001) is a Great Horror Movie.
They see a cloaked figure dumping something down a drainage pipe and, naturally, return to investigate. The pair spot said truck again, this time parked near an abandoned church. In a scene reminiscent of Steven Spielberg's "Duel", the truck tries to run them off the road, terrifying the pair and leaving them to puzzle over its bizarre number plate: BEATINGU. The result is a scary movie that will have you cowering beneath your popcorn bucket.īickering siblings Trish (Gina Philips) and Darry (Justin Long) are driving home for their spring holiday when an ominous black truck appears in their rear-view mirror. Its worth a view at least once, but not the best in the. Like other reviewers point out, its just not as scary with a majority of the movie taking place during the day.
As much as I enjoyed the first two films, the only reason I procured this one is because of Meg Foster. It blends the postmodern sensibility of Wes Craven's slasher satire and the rawness of Tobe Hooper's "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre" to fearsome effect. 1st movie - 5 stars, 2nd movie - 4 stars, Jeepers Creepers 3 - 3 stars. An unsettling, gory, but intelligent horror flick, "Jeepers Creepers" is the best picture of its kind since " Scream".
