Jeepers Creepers is a 2001 horror film written and directed by Victor Salva. It stars Gina Philips and Justin Long as Trish and Darry Jenner, two college siblings who are pursued by the demonic serial killer and namesake, the Creeper. The film takes its name from the 1938 song of the same name, which is featured in the film under a version by Paul Whiteman.[5] Patricia Belcher and Eileen Brennan also appear in supporting roles, with Salva making a cameo appearance.

Produced by American Zoetrope and the German companies Cinerenta-Cinebeta and Cinerenta Medienbeteiligungs KG, Jeepers Creepers began production in August 2000 after Salva convinced the studios to cast Philips and Long with the help of executive producer Francis Ford Coppola. Due to severe budget cuts, the third act of the project was rewritten during production. Filming took place for two months in Florida in Ocala, Dunnellon, Reddick, and Lake Panasoffkee. The film was theatrically released by United Artists and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer on August 31, 2001. It was a commercial success, despite mixed reviews, and grossed $59.37 million on a $10 million budget. The film was later spawned off a film series consisting of a sequel, prequel, and a reboot.

Plot

Trish Jenner and her brother Darry are traveling home from college for spring break. As they drive through the Florida countryside, an old truck threateningly tailgates them but eventually passes. They later observe the same truck parked next to an abandoned church with the driver sliding what appears to be bodies wrapped in blood-stained sheets into a large pipe sticking out of the ground. Having noticed their car pass by, the driver pursues and runs them off the road.

After the truck drives off, Darry convinces Trish to go back to the church. Upon investigation, Darry hears noises coming from within the pipe and crawls inside with Trish holding on to his feet, but ends up falling in. At the bottom, he finds a dying man with stitches running down his stomach and hundreds of bodies sewn to the basement's walls and ceiling, including the bodies of a prom couple that had gone missing twenty-three years prior. After escaping, the two flee the scene and attempt to contact the police at a diner, where they are phoned by a strange woman who tells them they are in danger. She then plays the song "Jeepers Creepers" on a record player. Confused, they ignore her warning and leave with two police officers providing a security escort. As they travel, the police learn that the church has caught fire and any potential evidence has been destroyed. The police are then attacked and killed by the driver, who loads their bodies into the truck. Witnessing the aftermath, Trish and Darry drive off in terror.

The pair stop at the house of an elderly and reclusive woman, begging her to call the police. The woman complies until she notices the driver hiding in her yard, who kills her before revealing its inhuman face to Trish and Darry. Trish repeatedly runs the driver over with her car but is left horrified as she sees a giant wing tear through its trench coat and flap in the air. The pair leave and drive to a local police station, where they are approached by psychic Jezelle Gay Hartman, the woman who called them at the diner. She tells them the true nature of their pursuer: It is an ancient creature, known as "the Creeper," which awakens every 23rd spring for twenty-three days to feast on human body parts, which then form parts of its own body. She also tells them that it seeks out its victims through fear, and by smelling the fear from Trish and Darry, it has found something it likes.

The wounded Creeper arrives at the police station, cuts off the power, and eats several prisoners to heal. The Creeper is swarmed by police but it kills a number of them and evades capture. Trapped, Jezelle warns Trish and Darry that one of them will die a horrible death. Darry demands to know who, and Jezelle looks at Trish. The Creeper finds them but spares Jezelle before cornering Trish and Darry in an upstairs interrogation room. After sniffing them, the Creeper throws Trish aside and chooses Darry. Trish offers her life for her brother's, but the Creeper escapes out of a window and flies away with Darry. The next day, Trish is picked up by her parents, and Jezelle returns home in regret. In an abandoned factory, it is revealed that the Creeper has removed the back of Darry's head and taken his eyes.

Development and writing

Several critics and filmgoers believe the film was loosely inspired by the police manhunt of Dennis DePue. In 1990, DePue had been caught dumping his dead wife's body behind an abandoned schoolhouse in the state of Michigan by brother-and-sister Ray and Marie Thornton.[9] The case appeared on an episode of Unsolved Mysteries on March 20, 1991.[10] The following day, DePue committed suicide after being involved in a shootout with police in Vicksburg, Mississippi.[11] The episode's depiction of the event along with other small details were found to be similar to the opening scene of the film.[12] Writer and director Victor Salva did not confirm nor deny whether the film took inspiration from the case,[12] but instead said it borrowed elements from Night of the Living Dead (1968) and Duel (1971).[13]

Compared to other screenplays which took him an average of six months to complete, Salva was able to write Jeepers Creepers in a single month.[13] He said he wanted the Creeper to kill characters that were for the most part male because he was "very tired of seeing women slaughtered and raped" in cinema.[14] To conceal his final girl-styled ending from viewers, Salva employed various red herrings throughout the first act so viewers would think Trish was going to die.[15] His original script also featured a twenty-page third act which was eventually scrapped during production.[14] In it, Darry drives the Creeper's truck into a train, unsuccessfully sacrificing himself in an attempt to kill the Creeper.[16] The entire sequence had been storyboarded in preparation for the shoot, but due to a budget cut of $1 million, it had to be removed and rewritten.[17][18] Because of this, Gina Philips and Justin Long were allowed to improvise many of their scenes during the third act.[18] Some scenes cut from the script were used in its sequel, Jeepers Creepers 2.[14]

The telephone scene featuring Patricia Belcher's character Jezelle was entirely rewritten during filming to allow her character to convey additional information about the Creeper. Salva said the film's defining moment was the discovery that the Creeper was not human because of how the main characters reacted to the reveal.[8] He went against the advice of several agents, managers, and acclaimed directors, to keep the character of the Creeper mysterious and said he "couldn't give [the] story a happy ending."[13][15] After completing it, Salva gave his screenplay to executive producer Francis Ford Coppola, who had previously helped finance Clownhouse (1989), Salva's feature-length directorial debut. Due to the recent successes of The Blair Witch Project and The Sixth Sense (both 1999), Salva received four offers from companies interested in the project within two days of him completing the script. Additionally, Coppola began a negotiation with United Artists and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in an attempt to sell the distribution rights to the film. According to Salva, this process in pre-production took seven to eight months and resulted in Germany's Cinerenta-Cinebeta and Cinerenta Medienbeteiligungs KG financing 75% of the original budget while United Artists financed the rest. Auditions took place in Los Angeles.[13]

Casting

"Even though I know Jeepers Creepers is a genre movie, the thing that drew me to the script is that it is a drama until The Creeper shows up. It’s a relationship movie in a lot of ways. It's a brother-sister relationship movie. It's hard to know why an audience holds onto something or what they connect to in a film but I feel that people connect to this film because there was an actual relationship between two people that they could latch on to and care about the characters."

—Gina Philips[18]

Philips said she wanted to star after finding the script too scary to finish in one night.[18] She auditioned twice by herself for the role of Trish, and then once with a shortlist of actors who were auditioning for the role of Darry, one of which was Long.[18] Salva said Philips had an "intense focus" during the audition process and that it was "her authenticity that got her the part."[14] Long said he was not sure he was going to get the part because he "assumed they were gonna cast a name. But I went in on a lark, and it clicked."[19] Salva would later say that Long was chosen because he was one of the only actors that managed to convince him that he was actually scared during his audition.[8] American Zoetrope had originally decided they were going to cast "big-name actors" instead of Long and Philips, but Coppola managed to convince the studio to allow them to star.[13]

The role for the Creeper was written specifically for Lance Henriksen, who dropped out of the project.[20] Jonathan Breck auditioned to face his own fears of the horror genre.[14][20] After being told that he would be showing his own interpretation of the Creeper, Breck spent his time researching different animal movements.[7] On the day of his audition, he shaved his head and took part in the "sniff test", where he was told to sniff the casting crew while in character.[7][8][21] When asked about his shaven head, Breck told the casting director that the Creeper "wouldn't have hair", before getting the part.[21] Salva cast Eileen Brennan as "the cat lady" because he was moved by her performance in the short film Nunzio's Second Cousin.[8] Chris Shepardson played the "dying boy" that Darry finds while in the Creeper's lair. Due to budget reasons, Salva had to write the character without any lines, but during filming, the crew eventually decided to give Shepardson a short line to say.[8] Salva made a cameo appearance in the film as a victim of the Creeper.[8]

Filming and design

Principal photography began around Central Florida in August 2000,[22] concluding after a period of two months.[23][b] Opening scenes were shot on the SW 180th Avenue Road in the city of Dunnellon, with the church used in the film, the now-former St. James Church, being located miles away in Ocala.[25] The diner, "Opper's Diner", was a set built in Lake Panasoffkee, and a reference to producer Barry Opper.[8] An abandoned high school in Reddick stood in for the police station,[26] while a now-demolished meatpacking factory in Ocala was used for the finale.[25]

Salva called the filming process "grueling" because they had to work during the summer, facing heat waves and high temperatures. Scenes containing the church's pipe were shot using a six-foot pipe outside the church and two pipes in a sound stage warehouse, where the final scene was shot. Due to the low budget, the art department's cafeteria was also used during filming and only a few fake bodies were made to appear in the Creeper's lair.[8] According to Long, he and Philips tried to avoid interacting with Breck throughout the entire shoot to avoid connecting with the actor, which benefited their performances by making them look scared when they were in character.[27]

The Creeper was designed by storyboard artist Brad Parker. Its costume was created by Brian Penikas from Makeup and Monsters while its wings were created by Charles Garcia and digitally rendered by Buddy Gheen, Scott Ramsey, and Bob Morgenroth.[13] The Creeper's truck used on-screen, a 1941 Chevy COE and originally a flatbed truck, had its back section created entirely by production designer Steven Legler. During various takes, the truck stopped working due to its old engine.[8]

Critical response

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 46% of 114 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 5.2/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Jeepers Creepers has a promising start. Unfortunately, the tension and suspense quickly deflates into genre cliches as the movie goes on."[50] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 49 out of 100, based on 24 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.[51] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade rating of "D" on an A+ to F scale.[52]

Several critics praised the film's 1st half but criticized the second half. Stephen Holden, from The New York Times, said that once the Creeper was revealed, the film "surrenders its imagination to formulaic plot filler".[53] Writing for The Guardian, Peter Bradshaw said the film "goes right down the pan" after its opening scene and that it is "not genuinely scary or genuinely funny".[54] Los Angeles Times film critic Kevin Thomas shared only positive feedback to the film and said it had the "scariest opening sequence of any horror picture in recent memory" and that "Salva has expertly built up enough sheer terror that [it is] uncomfortable to watch."[55] From The A.V. Club, Nathan Rabin wrote that the film "begins promisingly with an economical first half [...] but once its monster takes center stage, Jeepers Creepers heads downhill in a hurry."[56]

From BBC News, Nev Pierce called it an "unsettling, gory, but intelligent horror flick", and compared it positively to Scream (1996).[57] Writing for the Chicago Tribune, Robert K. Elder said he disliked the film simply because many parts were left unexplained.[58] The GW Hatchet journalist Mira Katz called the film "tragic", criticizing the writing, visual effects, and the finale of the film, stating that it would leave the viewer with a "general sense of disappointment".[59] Film critic David Edelstein, from Slate magazine, criticized the film's general storyline and 90-minute runtime but said that "the movie is good enough to put a chill into the late-summer air."[60]

Accolades

At the Sitges Film Festival in 2001, Jeepers Creepers received a nomination for Best Film but lost to Vidocq.[34][61] The following year, the film was nominated for three awards at the Fangoria Chainsaw Awards, winning for Best Wide-Release Film and Best Supporting Actor (Jonathan Breck).[62] At that same ceremony, Brian Penikas was nominated for Best Makeup/Creature FX for his design of the Creeper but lost to the KNB EFX Group for their work on Thirteen Ghosts.[62] On April 13, 2002, the film received a nomination for Best Movie at the International Horror Guild Awards but lost to the Canadian film Ginger Snaps by John Fawcett.[63] On June 10, 2002, the film earned a Saturn Award nomination for Best Horror Film, while Justin Long was nominated for Best Performance by a Younger Actor.[64]

Sequels

Two direct sequels written and directed by Victor Salva have been released.[65] The first sequel, Jeepers Creepers 2, premiered on August 29, 2003, and takes place a few days after the original.[66] In it, the Creeper pursues a bus filled with teenage students, who try to defeat the creature with the help of Jack Taggart, a man who seeks to avenge the death of his younger son Billy, who had been taken by the Creeper one day prior.[67] The film features a cameo appearance from Justin Long, who reprises his role as Darry, and the appearance of Tom Tarantini, who portrayed a prisoner in the original and Coach Dwayne Barnes in the second film.[68][69]

In 2015, after Salva shared his intentions in making a film focusing on the return of Gina Philips as Trish Jenner,[70] Jeepers Creepers 3: Cathedral was officially greenlit.[71] However, Phillips' role in the film was brought down to a cameo, and the film was released in 2017 by Screen Media Films as simply Jeepers Creepers 3.[72][73] The film takes place in between the two other films and follows the Creeper as it terrorizes a small community of people attempting to figure out its identity.[74]

Reboot

A reboot, titled Jeepers Creepers: Reborn, is scheduled to be released by Screen Media Films.
