Two college students
played by Justin Long and Gina Philips unleash a terrifying force of evil
that wants to eat. On their way home, the
two are forced off the road by a truck and later see
a man in a trench coat and a hat that covers his face dumping something down a pipe.
The film's
tagline "What's eating you?"
might mislead you, but as soon as the plot starts,
it's a bit of a give away. They try to get help from a crazy woman who has too many cats and a
loony tunes psychic, only to realize an ancient demon
known as the Creeper wants them for a snack!
Yum Yum..... The film seemed very repetitive
in places, but director Victor Salva has still
pulled off a worth watching but only the once film. Very original in places, the film
will surprise you...!
Interestingly
there are two more films called Jeepers Creepers, one
Directed by Robert Clampett and one by Frank McDonald!
Well 3 stars as this film, once seen, will not shock
you again. Although for media students
this is a good one to study.
