While tons of horror fans are boycotting convicted sex offender Victor Saliva’s Jeepers Creepers 3, those who aren’t might not want to see it either. If the new trailer and clips are anything to go by, the franchise hasn’t aged well and the upcoming horror film looks downright awful.
Jeepers Creepers 3 has been in the works for many years now and not without its share of hurdles, bumps and extreme controversy. Just last month, the film’s premiere was cancelled after protests outside the theatre. However, bad publicity seems to be the least of Jeepers Creepers 3‘s problems. The film itself looks like a cheesy B-movie, with a cast of unknowns, made in the ’90s. Those who have been patiently waiting for the sequel might be bitterly disappointed by the final result. It looks unbelievably cheap and, worst of all, the trailer doesn’t feature a single scare.
Salva has been convicted of some pretty awful things in the past and served 18 months of a 3-year sentence following his conviction. Many believe these crimes should disqualify him from participating in creating more films, however, after some struggle, a lot of boycotts and turbulent production, he has managed to get a Jeepers Creepers follow-up off the ground.
Taking place right after the end of the first film, Sgt. Tubbs teams with a group of hunters from Wheaton Valley to find and stop the creeper before the end of its 23-day feeding frenzy. The Creeper fights back in gory glory
I admit I loved the first movie, and enjoyed the second movie (until I learned of Salva’s past…at which point the Creeper’s seeming obsession with male victims became, well, creepy).
This movie though…not even in the spirit of the franchise. Too many groups haring off, too little actual exposition. It’s poorly written and not even fun. We laughed at the special effects because they just looked schlocky.
I wish they had stuck with the original Cathedral storyline that was rumored. Gina Philipp’s brief cameo was the only saving grace, and even then her lines were cheesy AF.
The movie indeed was trash and confusing! How dare they ruin my favorite monster guy!!!
Movie wasn’t bad at all. Most people I know enjoyed it. Your attempts to smear the film based on the director’s history fall flat on its face.
Love a film for the film. Not the people behind it.
Cheap? So only if it has an Avengers budget then its worth Merit? That kind of thinking is so wanna be elitest. I will be seeing the film, and Jason: How nice of you to project your thoughts on to others. Weirdo.
It’s called an opinion. He has a right to it. Just like this pathetic “journalist” does.
Amazing
Wow… That’s pretty cold. Well,this movie ain’t what I was expecting. Especially when those wings pop out (from the first installment) it’s so fake. If I was the guy,I would’ve faked everything except the Creeper and its belongings. It looks like a 3D cartoon
Your attempt at smearing the film the day of its release fails. You want to take the it looks cheap angle, when really you’re just trying to smear the film due to Salva. Fans of the franchise, love the franchise. We will be there in full force. The trailers were meh, the actually clips were PURE Jeepers Creepers fun. Maybe you should rethink your career in journalism.
@Jason: Will you be there before or after you stick your dick in kids?
Real mature, kid. The movie was pretty damn good. Who cares who made it?
That one broads face is so smoke ravaged I don’t want to watch her movies.
I wonder if this director considers himself as The Creeper?
