As a post- Scream horror flick Jeepers Creepers is somewhat self-aware. There is no way they would have gone back to investigate that pipe after being chased and nearly run off the road. Of course these teens, like teens in all horror movies, behave in a completely unbelievable manner. Like that movie, Jeepers Creepers opens with a brother and sister driving along a lonely rural stretch of road before being attacked by a stranger.
It could also be seen as an homage to the zombie classic Night of the Living Dead. Jonathan Breck as The Creeper poses as a scarecrow in Jeepers Creepers.Įric, writer/director Victor Salva says he intentionally made the main characters siblings in order to, “.eliminate any sexual tension and keep them focused on escaping the Creeper”. Still, this is an okay Halloween movie that may have you do a double take the next time you see a scarecrow at night. I will not spoil it for you, but it does not match the eerie set up from the early part of the movie. A little on screen nookie may have added a little spice to this mediocre film. What kind of metaphor is that? Why the maker's of this movie decided to go with siblings and not lovers is pointless. Teenagers have sex and then die a horrible death. The first Halloween movie started a horror movie tradition that A Nightmare On Elm Street and Friday the 13th followed. What also makes this movie different is that there is no sex. What makes this monster different from the usual slasher movie monsters is that The Creeper flies. He eats people for a particular body part that he desires. The trench coat man is actually a demon known as The Creeper. Darry going down the hole and what he finds is easily the creepiest moment in the movie. Of course they end up going back to the hole to investigate what it was. A bit later, they pass the man on the side of the road apparently dumping a body down a hole. On a country road, a man in a hat and trench coat passes them, nearly driving them off the road. Still, it is worth a few moments of fear.Ī bickering brother and sister, Darry and Trish, are driving home from college. Jeepers Creepers is a scary, but unsatisfying roller coaster ride of horror. What begins as a creepy story ends on a disappointing note. Gina Philips and Justin Long in Jeepers Creepers.
