Written and directed by Victor Salva. Starring Gina Philips, Justin Long, Patricia Belcher, Eileen Brennan, Brandon Smith and Jonathan Breck.
Plot: a brother and sister driving home for spring break, encounter a flesh-eating creature in the midst of his killing spree.
Trish and Darry are driving through the country when they run afoul of an old truck with the license plate, BEATINGU. And it’s driver seems very unstable and not quite human.
The Creeper is so self-assured that it’s creepy. The specials, also creepy. However, there were some continuity errors – like if Darry really went down that drain pipe, he should have landed on some bodies. Also, the rules suck. Once The Creeper smells you, it’s all over for you. You have no chance. That’s sad. DJ thinks these lack of rules really take away from the movie. I don’t. So, I gave it a bit more points than DJ did. Oh well. We both still recommend it.
Being a brother and sister makes me like the movie more I think. However, it makes the ending worse. I guess that’s me giving away the fact that it doesn’t end well, but whatever. I actually cry during the end. There, now you know my secret. The Creeper makes me cry.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. I love comic books. I'm particularly into anything X-Men related and everything Harley Quinn.
2. My celebrity crush is Chris Evans (AKA Captain America). He's even more political than I am and he's not afraid to show it, plus he's really, really hot.
3. I love baseball and more importantly the Boston Red Sox, even though I've never even been to Boston. LOL
4. If I won the lottery tomorrow, after paying off my debts, I'd buy a smallish house somewhere in Southern California. I have got to get out of Texas.
5. My cartoon hero is Tina Belcher. Her and I share a soul.
6. I've been rescuing dogs since I was a teenager and firmly believe that fur babies belong inside and on the furniture.
7. I'm very much addicted to Hallmark Channel. I love their sappy movies, especially the Christmas ones.
8. I have 2 tattoos. An "E" on my ankle for my first lost fur baby. And a ladybug on my wrist named George after George Romero told me he liked it. May he RIP.
9. I'm a bit of a night owl. Not that I go out a lot, it's just that I prefer to be up at night and asleep during the day. I'm a vampire like that.
10. I have an unhealthy relationship with potato chips. My favorite are Herr's Sour Cream & Onion.
