He sniffs his victims, their items and when they have something that he wants, he won't stop until he has it.Justin Long and Gina Philips did a good job and had great chemistry. His make up effects and the way he hunted down his pray was just terrifying and gross at the same time. The creeper is one of the best horror movies I have seen in a long time. But I absolutely loved this movie and the risks it took.
She plays the song "Jeepers Creepers" on the phone, and tells them that when they hear that song, they will be in extreme danger.There may be cliché moments with why these two "smart" adults go back to find the dead bodies, the psychic lady who everyone think is a psycho and never listens to her, and the chase scenes are a bit predictable.
They go to a restaurant and call the cops, they are phoned by a local psychic, Jezelle, who warns them that they are in terrible danger. At the bottom of the pipe, he finds hundreds of bodies sewn together, covering the walls of a massive cavern beneath the church. Darry insists they go back and investigate. After letting the vehicle pass them, they later see the same truck, in the distance off the side of the road, with a hulking man sliding what looks to be bodies covered with blood stained sheets, into a large pipe sticking out of the ground next to an old, abandoned church.

Īs they drive through the countryside, a mysterious driver in a rusty old delivery truck tries to run them off the road. The current of fetishistic erotic violence invites all sorts of interpretation in fact, fairly or not, this may be the first horror film for which knowledge of the director's well-publicized past seems likely to make some parts scarier. The production design is shoestring brilliance, helping make his highway and sewer pipe sequences genuinely spooky. And why establish an aesthete-predator at all if you're only going to have him jump out periodically and kill, like any Freddy Krueger? Salva has complained about last-minute budgetary restrictions yet so much has gone wrong by the final half hour, dissipating tension, squandering sympathy, indulging in camp, and the worst misstep calling in his deus ex machina voodoo chile, that it's hard to see what more money could have done.Salva's imagery, however, is always striking. Why bother subverting expectations early on if you're only going to resort to cliché later? The clairvoyant character is lifted from "The Shining" the police station siege is a "Terminator" retread. But where Romero is famous for exploring the dimensions of his deceptively simple premises, Salva retreats from them into mannered predictability.Narrowing his scope to a cat and mouse game, the writer-director fritters away too many possibilities even before the second act is out, and the third act is plainly bad. Especially good is Salva's patience in developing his sibling protagonists, their dialogue and reading good enough to establish what most genre work can't even dream of - plausible characters.
What he accomplishes in the first act is a quite masterful bogeyman set-up, disturbing yet inviting, and for a moment, we may think we hear Tobe Hooper's chainsaws. What look like bodies being dumped down a sewer pipe next to a rotted church their curiosity must be satisfied.
