Editorial Reviews
With confident style and low-budget ingenuity, Jeepers Creepers gets under your skin,
provoking spine-tingling horror when college siblings Trish (Gina Philips) and Darry (Justin Long)
encounter a flesh-eating demon along a barren rural highway. After a harrowing car chase that
sets the movie's nerve-wracking tone, they investigate suspicious activity near an abandoned
church, where a corrugated pipe leads to unimaginable horrors. What follows is a cat-and-mouse
game against the regenerating demon, which feeds on fear--and selected body parts--according
to a psychic (Patricia Belcher) who adds chilling portent to the routine climax in a besieged
police station. Writer-director Victor Salva (Powder) emphasizes primal fear over logic,
but plot holes are easily forgiven when you're scared out of your socks. A surprise box-office
hit in late summer 2001, Jeepers Creepers will please even jaded horror fans with its
back-to-basics frights.
