But because it was never touched upon in the previous films, the new story mechanic feels forced and gimmicky to give the Creeper a bigger advantage. Beyond the basic complaints and disappointment from fans – no real origin answers, Salva a convicted child molester, not much Trish – my issues with the film center around the new “creeper mobile” and the missed opportunity to establish a gay horror icon.įirst off, why did his death on wheels truck get an upgrade? I figure the creators thought it would be a good addition to give The Creeper more untouchability, more power and a new weapon. Although the film isn’t that scary it effectively establishes more lore about The Creeper which ignites the horror mystery quality surrounding the film. I could just be an old bitch with tinnitus, but oh well. We go to horror movies to be deeply scared, not to be clutching our ears in pain.

The film doesn’t really have any memorable scares rather loud noises to make you jump - which is effective in a movie theater but obviously disappointing for the viewer.
By the end of the film fans are hungry for answers but will have to wait for the forthcoming sequel, the first “real” sequel continuity wise since the original film in 2001. The film frustratedly doesn’t answer the mysteries but instead teases the audience by revealing characters that have seen the truth….”they know WHAT he is”. The third film capitalizes on the mystery component of the films by alluding to the discovery of the Creepers origins. The franchise is most recognized for its modern gothic aesthetic and spooky isolated atmosphere – oh, and of course the “in the closet” Creeper killer.The movies are one part creature feature and another part horror mystery. Jeepers Creepers is set around the return of a beast with a brutal ritual of slaughtering unsuspecting innocents. Collectively the first three films work as one large movie, rather than separate entities, as they all occur in the same timeframe. Although the film is billed as a sequel, it is not. Excited horror fans flocked to the theaters to see their favorite Creeper return for another night of horror.
Variety also indicates that this fourth installment is meant to be the first in a new trilogy of movies.Amid all the controversy Jeepers Creepers 3 was released on September 26 th for a one night only release. It's unclear how closely the new film will adhere to the continuity of the previous movies, but it seems likely that Jeepers Creepers: Reborn will see the creature awakening for a new hunt. The timeline of the original trilogy concluded with the Creeper re-entering its period of hibernation after being seriously wounded. The franchise's first film introduced viewers to the Creeper (Jonathan Breck), a humanoid creature that inhabits the American South and awakens every 23 years to harvest body parts. Finnish director Timo Vuorensola, best known for the dark sci-fi comedy Iron Sky and its sequel (one of the post-apocalyptic hidden gems you need to watch on Netflix), will be helming the project with a script from Sean Michael Argo, a prolific B-movie writer and director. But just like the eponymous monster, it was only in hibernation.Īccording to a report by Variety, Jeepers Creepers: Reborn is on the way with a new creative team behind it. After a third film that was panned by critics, a flop at the box office, and the center of a controversy stemming from writer and director Victor Salva's 1980s conviction for child molestation (via Decider), it seemed like the Jeepers Creepers franchise had died for good.
