Jeepers Creepers (2001) 8/10

Starring : Justin Long, Gina Philips, Jonathan Breck, Patricia Belcher, Eileen Brennan
Director : Victor Salva
Running Time : 86 mins

Darry (Long) and Trish Jenner (Philips) are driving home to visit their family when they see a strange man dumping what appears to be a body into the basement of an abandoned church. When they go to investigate, Darry falls in and discovers the remains of hundreds of dead bodies.

I thought this was a great film, especially as it allows us as an audience to get to know the characters, something few modern horror films do. Clearly there was little or no budget, but the script flowed well and the characters were believable. The Creeper, though, was far too visible to the camera and should have been better shrouded in shadow.
