At its core, the third part of the horror epic about the atrocities of the mysterious monster is a “bonus track” to the first two parts. The film “Jeepers Creepers 3” (2017) somewhat expands the mythology of the monster and, according to critics, is needed only to please fans of the cycle with another batch of bloody killings that border on rudeness.
Just think, now Creepers is almost vulnerable, “hunts” just in the light of day in front of puzzled guardians of law and order. But the interquel of Victor Salva is still expressive and brutal, naturalistic, as much as possible with a modest budget. This is primarily a curious and expected return to the big screen of one of the most charming movie monsters of the zero.
Not without merits
Although the movie “Jeepers Creepers 3” (2017), whose actors and roles were selected by each other as a result of a long and intense casting, is not the best project in the cycle, there are definitely interesting moments and achievements in it.
Despite the fact that the creator of the trilogy, Salva, tried to launch the third part into production for a long period, and the plot of the picture was surrounded by unconfirmed guesses, the most discussed news about the release of the triquel were the ups and downs of the casting.
Highlights of the “brand” brand
Rumors were provoked that in the movie Jeepers Creepers 3 (2017), actors Brandon Smith and Gina Philips, who shone in the first part, would again embody their characters - Sergeant Davis Tabbs and Patricia Jenner “Trish”, respectively.
But as a result, everything turned out to be much more prosaic - Gina had a one-minute cameo in the movie, and Smith could be replaced by any actor who could bring the helpless elderly policeman to the screen. In general, in the acting ensemble of the third part, only the American Meg Foster with icy blue eyes stands out, having an appearance ideal for a horror movie. The remaining actors of the movie Jeepers Creepers 3 (2017) cannot boast of such a texture.
Casting process
The original casting version of the project included writer and actress Adrienne Barbo, who recently starred in television series. It was this performer who was supposed to play the main character Geilen Brandon - the mother of Kenny, who was killed 23 years ago, who will have to confront the hungry monster. However, an agreement was not reached, and it was replaced by the brilliant Meg Foster. Nevertheless, in an interview with the media, Barbot noted an excellent tricwell scenario, which, according to her forecasts, must surely appeal to fans of the franchise.
Soon it became known that actors Brandon Stacy and Jonathan Breck will certainly take part in the filming of the movie “Jeepers Creepers 3” (2017). Stacy embodied on the screen Miller, who leads the group of people who organized the hunt for the monster, and Breck played the main role.
The most recent ensemble was joined by Stan Shaw, who was approved for the role of sheriff Dan Tashtego.
Monster Benefit
Indeed, the image of Jeepers Creepers irrefutably deserves the status of the main. In general, the evolution of the trilogy can be easily tracked by posters. On the poster of the original tape in the center was an eye looking at the viewer through the torn skin, on the second through the skin a clearly inhuman silhouette already appeared. On the poster of the third part, Jeepers stands at full height, clearly hinting that he is not people, but he is the main character here.
The monster in the trikvel is a relatively young monster, but he won the love of the audience, constantly in the foreground. None of the actors in the movie Jeepers Creepers 3 (2017) received so much screen time. And the frames with his direct participation are the best in the entire timing of the third part.
Here Jeepers is amusing himself with teenagers, here he is effectively straightening his hat, and the next moment, falling into his own trap, he is very upset. This is an old-fashioned, but surprisingly charming sight, given the fact that little is known about Creepers, only one fact is revealed - it is “ancient”.
In 2017, theater actor Jonathan Breck tries on a monster mask for the third time. Despite participating in many significant theatrical productions and television films, the public performer is known as a demonic monster in the works of Victor Salva.
