10 Horror Movie Reveals So Bad You Almost Walked Out
10. The Creeper's Wings - Jeepers Creepers
We've talked extensively about how brilliantly tightly wound the opening segment of Jeepers Creepers is, with Trish (Gina Philips) and her brother Darry (Justin Long) crossing paths with a psychotic motorist who also appears to be an unhinged serial killer (is there any other kind)?
But that terror entirely dissipates at the end of the second act, when any and all subtlety is abandoned in favour of fully unveiling the creature to the audience.
The Creeper's face doesn't look great, but things collapse entirely when Trish repeatedly runs the Creeper over and it suddenly sprouts wings totally out of nowhere.
The CGI wings looked bad in 2001 and they look awful now, and things arguably only get worse once the Creeper makes it to the police station where it's shown in its full un-scary glory, fish face and all.
The Creeper was so much more intimidating when it was seemingly just a man in a truck, but once it sprouted wings and revealed its full demonic form, it ironically became impossible to take seriously.
