Jeepers Creepers

(2001) ***1/2

[Sung to the tune of "The Seeker" by the Who]

The two Jenner kids
Drive across Dakota
When a crazy stranger tries
to run them off the road-a.

They call him the Creeper.
He's a scaly, beasty guy.
Here he comes. Speeding truck. Chasing after.
Where's he get those eyes?

They see a dark figure
stashing cadavers.
Derry falls down a hole and finds more
stitched together like wallpaper

They call him the Creeper.
He's a scaly, beasty guy.
Here he comes. Speeding truck. Chasing after.
Where's he get those eyes?

It's in local legends:
disappearing drivers.
And it seems to happen every 23 years.
The Creeper makes his body
from stitched up human parts.
He'll eat'cha after sniffing you out by your fears.

[awesome guitar solo]


Here he comes. Speeding truck. Chasing after.
Where's he get those eyes?

The first half of the movie's filled with promise.
But it loses its steam in act 2 and 3
Suspenseful storyline, and excellent visual style.
Not bad, not great. At least, it's worth your while.

Another song review
Got no original take.
But this format takes as long as a review.
So give me a friggin' break.

They call him the Creeper.
He's a scaly, beasty guy.
Here he comes. Speeding truck. Chasing after.
Where's he get those eyes?

Here he comes. Speeding truck. Chasing after.
Where's he get those eyes?
