I had never seen this movie before it aired on a local cable sci-fi network. It reminded me of the Irwin Allen TV series of the late 60's (Time Tunnel etc). Excellent effects (they beat Star Trek 5 done 20 years later, but then that wasn't very hard to accomplish).
I found the script very intriguing and mature for this type of production. They would have needed a few touch ups to tie some loose ends on the characters' level, but for a kid movie its surprisingly interesting (especially the the glimpse at futuristic euro- politics, surprisingly similar to today's European Union!)
The plot is indeed reminiscent of Twilight Zone in general (as other users have pointed), but in this case it's a compliment.
Great sets, by the way!
7/10

I have seen this movie at a horror festival in Montreal. From the publicity, I thought I was in for an original adult-oriented horror movie. I was very disappointed to discover that Jeepers Creepers is a SCREAM disguised as a demon movie.
I would also agree with some of the other reviewers who pointed out that a demon who owns a truck and travel around in it is ridiculous... Even more so when they themselves makes the point that the demon can fly faster than ANY car/truck in the movie! Anyways, the director lacks imagination (so does the scriptwriter): everything you see in Jeepers Creepers, you've seen done A LOT BETTER elsewhere, and often too, none of the most important plot points/characters holds up to someone that has seen more than half a dozen good movies before... Just not worth wasting 2 hours of your life for!
