Jeepers Creepers

Jeepers Creepers is a throwback to the slasher films of the 80s,without it being a slasher film.Director Victor Salva(Powder)I believe brought us a different kind of horror picture,one that doesn't really relie on gore that much but on imagies.The movie starts out with siblings Darry (Justin Long) and Trish (Gina Philips)are driving home for spring break and are nearly run off the road by a manic in a old beat-up truck with the coolest licecne plate B-EATNG-U and later on to find him shoving/throwing what looks like a body down a sewer pipe at an old church.After the driver of the truck tries to run them off the road again,Darry and Trish decide to go back to the church to see if anyone needs help,what they discover at the bottom of the pipe is far worse then they could have ever imagined and now the creeper as his sights set on the siblings.The design of the creeper(played by Jonathan Breck)is a really neat,new and fresh look to see.There are alot of twisted scenes like the tounge scene for example.I had a total blast watching Jeepers Creepers in the theater,I love the thrill of being scared and this was one of the most stylish horror films I've seen in a long time.
