Jeepers Creepers: Reborn Movie Review (2024)

A Lot or a Little?

What you will—and won't—find in this movie.

  • Positive Messages

    none

    No real messages here; the movie's only function is to slash up as many characters as possible. There's no explanation for the appeal of the horror festival, nor to the reason why people would serve the monster and provide victims for it.

  • Positive Role Models

    none

    Characters behave in ridiculous ways and barely seem human.

  • Diverse Representations

    some

    The two lead characters are a Black man (Imran Adams) and a White woman (Sydney Craven). British-Filipino actor Ocean Navarro plays another major character. Characters of color also appear in additional smaller roles.

What's the Story?

In JEEPERS CREEPERS: REBORN, Chase (Imran Adams) has talked his scientist girlfriend, Laine (Sydney Craven), into attending a horror festival in a remote part of Louisiana. Chase is fascinated by tales of the Creeper, who is said to appear every 23 years and go on a murderous rampage. At the festival, Laine wins tickets to an escape room, and the couple is immediately taken there, accompanied by a video crew. Unfortunately, Laine is whisked away by the Creeper, and everyone else is trapped in the sinister old house. It turns out that Laine has something the Creeper wants, so Chase and the others must find her and get out before the monster picks them off, one by one.
