Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Jeepers Creepers is worth clearing space for. Jeepers Creepers trusts its audience to sit with discomfort instead of resolving it too quickly. On a desolate country highway, two homeward-bound teens are nearly run off the road by a maniac in a beat-up truck, and later spot him shoving what appears to be a body down a sewer pipe. Gina Philips and Justin Long lead a cast doing genuinely serious work here. It hit screens in 2001. Jeepers Creepers resists tidy resolutions in a way that respects how messy real consequences actually are. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Jeepers Creepers is what you recommend to people who say they do not really watch much. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. The complete film is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Gina Philips is the centre of it, and it is one of their strongest performances on record. The patience it asks of you early on is paid back with interest.
