Just saw jeepers creepers trending on Twitter and totally forgot about this movie. I remember really liking them when I was younger. Had a great mythology behind the character. They should reboot the character, could make it a cheaper type horror movie since you do not need a lot of special effects (except a flying scene).

I don’t consider the late 2010s sequels apart of this franchise............. also Frick that director of the movies

Used to like the movie, until someone on this board informed me that the director is a pedophile, and I haven't been able to look at the movie the same since.

quote:

certain plot points are rubbing critics the wrong way given the criminal history of writer-director Victor Salva. The 59-year-old was convicted in 1988 of the sexual molestation of Nathan Forrest, the 12-year-old actor and star of his film “Clownhouse.” Salva videotaped the sexual act and was also convicted of possessing commercial videotapes and magazines containing child pornography.

Salva only served 15 months of his three-year sentence, and he somehow went on to have a career in Hollywood in the years that followed. Disney hired him to direct their supernatural drama “Powder,” and Salva found his greatest success with “Jeepers Creepers,” the 2001 horror film that spawned a franchise.

Always say it when these threads pop up but I’d put the first 30 minutes of Jeepers Creepers up against the best of any horror movie.

First half of that movie is elite. Up with the best horror movies. Second half is meh. Second movie is meh, third one is below average.

Ending of this movie is incredibly stupid.

Agree.

I worked at a movie theater when this came out ... after watching the first part, I didn't stay in the booth. I've never seen the whole movie, even though I started it hundreds of times.

Yup. First half is incredible actually. Second half is laughably stupid.

That’s what it already was.

Yeah the first 30 minutes or so is great. It falls off a cliff once it's revealed the murderer is an invincible monster. If the Creeper had killed people in more creative ways it would be different but everything it does is either essentially off screen after a cut away or shot in so much darkness you can't even see what's happening.

Yeah it would’ve been a lot better had it been a sinister old man that looked like the old guy from Poltergeist 3 in that get up but with a Michael or Jason unkillable factor.
