Jeepers Creepers | Description: Brother Darry and sister Trish have a look at the cellar of an old church. The beginning of a nightmare Year: 2001 Classification: Horror Directed: - Victor Salva Actors/Actresses: - Gina Philips as Trish Jenner - Justin Long as Darry Jenner - Jonathan Breck as The Creeper - Patricia Belcher as Jazelle Gay Hartman - Eileen Brennan as Cat Lady UNDERATED! Jeepers Creepers is an old-fashioned spooker that owes as much to Steven Spielberg's Duel as it does to Tobe Hopper's Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Behold the film's mesmerizing opening sequence: a car, a Winnebago and a rusty truck partake in a maddening game of highway peek-a-boo. When the film's terrifying Mr. Creepers starts shedding his skin, the film is compromised by cheeky climax best appreciated by fans of camp. Trish (Gina Philips) and Darryl (Justin Long) are the poster children for the Curiosity Killed the Cat generation. They head back into Creepers territory once they've successfully dodged his road rage. Director Victor Salva keeps the excitement going despite fumbling with the been-there-done-that self-reflective humor ("You know the part in scary movies where somebody does something really stupid and everybody hates them for it? Well, this is it"). Surely, the film's rest-stop set piece must count as one of the more impressive moments of the year. Mr. Creepers plays tongue-hockey with a police officer's severed head. In the background: a sign celebrating the deliciousness of meat. This is seriously underated, and all because they revealed what the monster looked like. Come on people, that didn't completely destroy the atmosphere, you're overeacting. Anyway this one you must watch with the lights off. This is just the plot... Surprisingly, I think this film didn't turn out half bad. Since most horror movies are geared towards a teenage, blood and gore hungry audiance, one might be hesitant to view something like this. But even though it had a no-name cast, not-to-brilliant storyline, and B-rated feel to it, I think it turned out well. So we begin this wonderful film with two siblings on an afternoon drive, I forget where there going. But they stumble upon someone throwing what looks like a body into a sewage pipe leading underground. And, of course, they talk each other into going back to investigate their find. Then, as the awesome and highly talented screenwriters would have it, the boy falls into the pipe. He encounters basically a Van Gogh of slaughter, but don't worry it ain't that scary. Personally I found it rather humourous. After all that they make their way to a gas station, and the boy recieves a phone call from a strange old women that tells them to listen for a song called 'Jeepers Creepers.' If they hear it that means something terrible will happen. Cool. And that is when we learn who is responsible for the things I described above. Except, it isn't a "who" its a what. The movie, I don't think, really described in detail what the thing was except that its some kind of demon who takes specific body parts from each victim. And that is when it begins. To not give too much away, we just witness a series of gruesome attacts by the "thing." The story will unfold and other important characters will come into play. I enjoyed the ending especially for its unpredictability, and the scene in the police station was very suspenseful...
