When talking about modern horror classics, Jeepers Creepers always seems
to come up. And with good reason, it is a great movie. It has all
the things needed to make a great horror movie, good characters, great
plot, and an awesome monster. It starts out with Trish (Gina Phillips)
and Darryl (Justin Long) driving down a long abandoned stretch of highway
on their way home from college. Their characters are played
amazingly, they really had me thinking that they could be brother and
sister. With their constant bickering, and insults to each other, it
makes their performance a joy to watch. Gina Phillips has a pleasant
onscreen presence. And Justin Long came across as an excellent
emotional actor, he hits all of his key emotions as well as his
transitions. The movie also has a great atmosphere. The
creepy highway and the even creepier church are great, I love it!
There are lots of jump scares also, which I appreciated, they use cars
driving by, crow caws, sudden movements, ringing phones, and much more.
So overall I love Jeepers Creepers, I loved the Creeper, and I loved the
creepy atmosphere. But it just seemed to me like something was
missing. |
