Jeepers Creepers
The Plot
Trish and her brother Darry are nearly run off the road by a speeding truck
while returning home. When they see their pursuer dumping a body-like object
down a pipe, they investigate and find a secret too horrible to imagine.
The Movie
Jeepers Creepers is one of the best horror films of the past ten years and
offers horror fans a great, creative new villain in The Creeper. Relying more on
atmosphere than all out gore, Jeepers Creepers relies on the shadows and
creepiness than gruesome shock.
Justin Long and Gina Phillips have great on screen chemistry and they carry the
whole story along well. The makeup effects are impressive, especially the
Creeper’s face when it is at long last revealed. Filled with atmospheric
lighting, creepy irony, and subtle black humor, Jeepers Creepers has much to
recommend.
There is one large problem. The whole story is held together by an
event that is positively unrealistic and does not fit the characters at all.
When they return to the Creeper’s Lair and look down the pipe, I was dumfounded
by their stupidity.
However, most horror films have this problem, and it certainly doesn’t stop
Jeepers Creepers. It is a refreshing take on the horror genre in the form of
slasher meets creature feature. I’ll be surprised if any of its sequels, which
will probably be produced, top the original.
The DVD
Great. We get an audio commentary first. Then we get a whole mess of deleted
scenes for appetizers. And, for the main course, we get Behind the Peepers, an
excellent making of documentary. Finally for desert, we are served a photo
gallery and trailers. A great DVD.
