"Every 23rd spring for 23 days it gets to feed". What a great premise to introduce a new nasty and ass kicking terror to the public. If I truly ever ran into The Boogeyman I think he'd look like The Creeper from this movie. In fact, Here Comes The Boogeyman was the first working title of this truly scary film. The Creeper's a truly terrifying spectre that deserved more than a two film run, a complete trilogy at a minimum is needed when you consider the ending of Jeepers Creepers 2 from 2003.
Two college student siblings played by Gina Phillips and Justin Long are driving home on their Spring Break. There's obviously some issues the two have with each other but their love for one another is evident. While driving down a country road they see a huge mysterious looking guy dumping something down what looks like a large clothing chute outside an old farmhouse. It looks to them like whatever the objects are they're tied up and wrapped in sheets that appear blood stained. They go back to investigate and find countless bodies that have been hacked up and sewn together.
They attempt to convince local law enforcement what's going on but it's to late, The Creeper is hunting them down and killing everyone who gets in his way. Cops are just another appetizer to The Creeper. Think of how you'd feel if something was chasing you, had every intention of killing you and there was no way to stop it. Worse than that, you knew it. What would you do?
Great kills, a lot of suspense, above average acting for this type of film and a great monster makes Jeepers Creepers an "A" in my book. I love when a horror movie has cool dialogue throughout and this one delivers in that area as well ("She did lose her head that night, Trish, and you wanna know what he did for her? He sewed it back on."). If you haven't seen it run out and rent Jeepers Creepers.
