Jeepers Creepers

A 2022 reboot of Jeepers Creepers has been met with dismal reviews from fans and critics alike who say the franchise 'will never be the same'.

Also this new design is all kinds of a**. ‘I’ve done CGI in a lot of my drama school projects and a movie with the name Jeepers Creepers I didn’t expect it to be bad as it was – I didn’t feel like I was there, in the original you meet the creeper for the first time from a shaky camera angle in a car and you felt like you saw what Darius and Trish were seeing. ‘But with this film it wasn’t true to the first two jeepers creepers, the third one and this latest one felt like a cash grab. The creeper to me was an un-killable monster and that’s what was so terrifying – a lot of people can agree that being eaten is one of the scariest things. Film lovers on Rotten Tomatoes were also quick to criticise the film, with one branding it a ‘chepa knockoff’ of the original It shows the couple travelling to a horror festival, where they end up in a creeper-themed escape room – the first three films are referenced as fictional and the creeper has ‘fans’ who then try to sacrifice a pregnant Sydney to the hungry monster. The original Creeper gets close and personal to the windows of a school bus as he scouts his prey in Jeepers Creepers 2 Jeepers Creepers 3, (pictured) was also a dud according to fans, who said the 2018 sequel didn’t measure up to the first two However, it is the reimagined Creeper – the central villain – which has come in for some of the harshest criticism, with some moviegoers saying it has reduced the picture to a ‘slasher movie’. It reappeared in the sequel, which was also adored by creeper fans, that tells the story of a group of high school kids trapped on a highway in a school bus during the last few days of the creeper’s feeding frenzy. Sandwiched between the first two chronologically, it introduced a ‘creeper team’ comprised of people who had lost friends and family to the beast. The creeper, a flesh eating monster who rises every 23 years to feast on people’s organs, was first seen when Justin Long and Gina Phillips (playing Damien and Trish) took a highway trip in the first film 21 years ago.
