Filled with heart-stopping jolts, mind-bending twists and nonstop suspense, this fast-paced thriller pits two unsuspecting teens against an open-road killer with more on his mind than just road rage!
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 Phillips), that they have to investigate, and despite all better judgement, 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 humor amid the shocks, gross-outs, and nail-biting suspense, and Phillips 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.

This is how "scary" should be Always love watching Gina Phillips, but "Jeepers Creepers" is a spawn of satan. Very well made. Very creepy. Highly recommend. Hold on to your pop corn tight. Submitted by dlw1412 (Avon, IL.) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 1 of 1 found this helpful.
Very creepy. This is one hell of a creepfest. I'd recommend Jeepers Creepers to any horror freak out there and also i'd recommend Jeepers Creepers 2 aswell. Submitted by burninhell95 (Sydney, Australia) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 1 of 1 found this helpful.
Muy buena Parece una película de Clive Barker Submitted by rkokisch (Concon, V región, Chile) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
Had potential, not lived up to though This film had great promise, cool young cast, nice story line, great scenery, and hip soundtrack, but ultimately, I felt dissapointed and a little frustrated as the end credits started rolling up the screen.
This film starts out very cool, awesome opening scenes, and a very spooky feel generated by the mystery of the events and the "faceless evil creature", but, unfortunately, it just doesnt quite add up to anything much. Sure, there are some scary moments, but I would have gone in a different direction with the main evil entity. I wont go into it here as it would be a spoiler for the film.
A solid spook fest, not quite living up to expectations. Worth a look.
