Quick Answer

What is Jeepers Creepers 3 about?

Jeepers Creepers 3 is a 2017 United States horror, mystery, and thriller film directed by Victor Salva about a group of law enforcement officers and Creeper hunters teaming up to stop the Creeper's spree of terror following the deadly discovery of its booby-trapped truck.

Programmer's Pick

If your idea of roadside assistance involves spikes, flying shuriken, and a truck that’s deadlier than its driver, Jeepers Creepers 3 delivers. Victor Salva amps up the hixploitation and supernatural gadgetry, giving the Creeper's ride as much personality (and body count) as the creature itself.

Overview

Set shortly after the events of the original film, Jeepers Creepers 3 wastes no time returning to the Creeper’s deadly ways. When police uncover the Creeper's truck stuffed with bodies and rigged with brutal traps, Sheriff Dan Tashtego and Sergeant Davis Tubbs join forces with a specialized team of Creeper hunters. As the monstrous predator resumes its 23-year feeding cycle, the team must unravel the secrets behind its supernatural powers and weaponized vehicle. With the Creeper’s ancient menace looming over a farming community and its victims, this installment delivers a mix of booby-trapped mayhem, generational trauma, and relentless pursuit—all while keeping the Creeper’s true nature frustratingly out of reach.
