Movie review: Jeepers Creepers 3

 
 Another 23 years have passed and the Creeper is back to feed once again, and this time his creepy truck is joining in on the fun.

Stan Shaw (Sheriff Tashtego), Gabrielle Haugh (Addison), Brandon Smith (Tubbs), Meg Foster (Gaylen), Jordan Salloum (Kenny), Chester Rushing (Buddy), Ryan Moore (Kirk), Jonathan Breck (Creeper), Meg Wright (Gracie).

Jeepers Creepers 3 is the long awaited third film in the franchise, taking place between the first and second films. Back after 23 years, the Creeper has returned to feed and brought his creepy truck with him. Sheriff Tashtego and Gaylen are ready for him this time, and determined it will be the Creepers' last return. While this sounds great, the film is actually a B movie mess full of plot holes and other problems.

Acting was a mess. Shaw was reasonable but couldn't overcome the poor script and technical work. Haugh was mildly entertaining. Smith was so serious he felt out of place, as did Foster who just can't seem to sell it anymore. The remainder of the supporting cast was rough and lacking depth.

Camera work, sets, and backgrounds were somewhat decent. Much of the special effects were awful, or just simply ridiculous. Dialogue was dry, contained humor that didn't land, or was simply unexplained. Sound and soundtrack were completely forgettable.

While you may be a fan of the Jeepers Creepers franchise up to this point, this film will quite possibly ruin that for you. With poor acting, dialogue, technical work, a plot that adds little to the franchise, and not a single scary moment, pass on this one unless you absolutely cannot live with yourself due to your franchise addiction thus far.

There is quite a bit of violence, gore, and foul language in this one so save it for older teens who will probably turn it off anyway. Or for those to whom you wish to cause temporary brain damage.
