A brother and sister (Justin Long and Gina Philips) on their way home from college are chased across hicksville by some kind of undead bat-winged demon-man because they saw it dump bloody bodies down a remote roadside culvert and were stupid enough to investigate on their own. Touches of style and genuine potential for quality terror are ruined by horror movie conventions and the fact that writer-director Victor Salva worships at the altar of the Almighty Gimmick. Using the 1930's hit parade ditty "Jeepers Creepers" as a scare tactic (the demon whistles the song) is arguably the most asinine trademark in the history of fright flicks. Not recommended. (R. Blackwelder)
