Jeepers Creeper Review RATING" (Makes you turn on all the lights before bed, even though you'd never admit it to yourfriends) Scott Smith STAFF WRITER Imagine this: you're driving home from college via the "back way" and have seen no traffic for miles. Suddenly, from out of no where, a large truck looms be hind you and tries to run you off the road. You skid to one side, then motion for the driver to pass, but it's all in vain; the driver isn't interested in pass ing. He's interested in you. Victor Salva's latest film Jeepers Creepers takes you into a realm of fear long forgotten in this age of comical horror and back to the days of suspense driven, spine- tingling, leave-the lights-on-at-night terror. TU week's poll: Do you thin k that Mall oween events should I have been cancelled in tie wake of the terrorist attacks of sept. 1 1? Ghoulfordian^p The Guilfordian After the frightful opening se quence with the truck, Dany (Jus tin Long) and his sister Trish (Gina Philips) are unfortunate enough to pass by their attacker's vehicle again at an old church. They see a large man dumping what ap pears to be bodies wrapped in sheets down an old corrugated pipe in the ground. As in most horror films, the main charac ters decide to go back and in vestigate. In Dairy's attempt to peer down the large pipe protruding from the ground, he falls in. At this point, the suspense will rip you out of your chair. The end ing of the film is just like its beginning—shocking and unex- pected. However, the finale doesn't prove to be just a new dark film with a last-minute twist, as is the new trend; it's truly inef fable. For those of you who like to pre-judge movies without actually seeing them, keep in mind that Francis Ford Coppola (director of The Godfather, Bram Stoker's Dracula, etc.) is the film's execu tive producer. Unfortunately, those visiting the box office must not have realized this fact. The only theater that I could find in Greens boro that still shows the film is the Carmike 14 on Koger Boule vard. The film's title comes from the Spring Break Vacations! Cancun, Jamaica, Bahamas & Florida. Earn Cash &Go Free!

Snippets of the song are played throughout the movie before some of the more horrific sequences as a harbinger to their arrival. This is revealed to the characters through the movie's psychic, played by Patricia Belcher. The only qualms I have with this film are its abundance of gore which is unnecessary and the bogey-man-type mentality of the monster after his introduction to the characters. Overall, it is a truly fantastic film, destined to become a cult classic, and sure to send you screaming through the holiday season.
