Hello all, we have done a good deal of films this year dealing with various monsters and the mayhem that they cause.  For our final monster, I’ve delved back to the early 2000’s.  Today, I give to you Jeepers Creepers.

This movie has spawned two sequels (the latest film arrived in September 2017), features a good creature design, does not give away all of its secrets, and features a young Justin Long.  Two siblings are harassed by a strange truck on a small country road.  They see the driver of the truck throwing strangely shaped bundles into a drainpipe and investigate.  This is where they become a target of the creeper.  Inside, they find a strange mural of the macabre with multiple human bodies having been preserved and placed on the stone wall.  Their attempts to flee the monster will lead them to a local psychic and a final pulse-pounding chase through a crowded police station.

Part of the charm of this series is the fact that it hints at a mythology that creates a solid reality and never fully explains everything.  You don’t see a wood-cutting from a book and then receive a flashback to fully detail the events of the past.  What the film does is provide you with a glimpse of historic things featuring our monster, while not explaining the hows and whys.  For a low-budget horror film, Jeepers Creepers hits all the right buttons for me.
