#Explanation of jeepers creepers movie how to#
Victor Salva certainly knows how to create horror and Jeepers Creepers is a well constructed rollercoaster ride of eerie shocks, grisly viscerality and unexpected slam-punches. Jeepers Creepers is not quite the classic it seems to think it is – the promotional campaign even went to the extent of constructing a tv ad campaign that had Clive Barker saying so, while the film was (probably prematurely) called a modern horror classic by Cinefantastique. Brother Justin Long and sister Gina Philips try to get help Nuff said about the issue – it should not concern us any more here. Moreover, one feels that an artist/filmmaker’s private tastes should have no bearing on evaluating their work – any more so than say a president’s private affairs should affect his ability to govern a country. Personally, one feels that Salva should be left alone after having served his time and should not be slammed for trying to get on with life and become a productive community member.
The controversy has evaporated by the time of Jeepers Creepers, perhaps because Salva is making an R-rated horror film rather than a PG-rated family film. This news had parental groups trying to arrange boycotts of Powder. There is an invariable controversy that dogs Victor Salva, one that emerged during the release of Powder, which is that in 1988 he plead guilty to having sex with a twelve-year old boy. Victor Salva is a genre regular who made the great and underrated Clownhouse (1989), as well as the psychically gifted teen film Powder (1995), the excellent little-seen backroads psycho-thriller The Nature of the Beast (1995), the interestingly philosophical non-genre film Peaceful Warrior (2006), the stalker film Rosewood Lane (2011) and the deviltry film Dark House (2014). Although, the most interesting name on the credits is that of director Victor Salva. It comes executive produced by no less than Francis Ford Coppola. Jeepers Creepers is an interesting little horror film.
