yendiWarning -- the following could be considered spoilers for the first twenty minutes of Jeepers Creepers. Although I find the idea of spoiling the first twenty minutes of almost any film (Goldmember aside) implausible. But I'll cut tag it, anyway.
So, you and your sibling are driving along a deserted stretch of highway on which many a person has vanished.
A creepy looking truck tailgates you for a while, refusing to pass. The license plate is unreadable.
A while after it finally passes you, you see the truck pulled up next to an abandoned church, and a creepy looking guy in a cloak is putting something about six feet long, wrapped in carpet and twine, into a drainpipe.
As the creep sees you, he gets into his truck, and chases you, ramming your car multiple times, and finally chasing you off the road.
Now, do you:
A) Get the fuck out of Dodge, and don't stop until you're home?
B) Find the nearest rest stop and call the cops?
or
C) Go back to the church and look in the drainpipe?
Yeah. You can guess which one they chose.
Fucking idiots.
The movie itself had only one or two really stupid moments like that, but it was enough. The creepiness of the villain was more than balanced out by the stupidity of most of the characters.
I'm just glad I caught it on Tivo, instead of paying money for it.
And worse, I just checked the IMDB, and saw that it was directed and written by Victor Salva. I'm really glad I didn't pay money for it now. And even more disgusted that I watched it at all.
