Guess you've just crafted another great film theory right there. Still knowing his past it's surprisingly that this has not been picked up before.<br /><br />I liked the second one alot more than the first and I think it was alot to do with how it was more contained and Ray Wise was a real grizzled badass.Elwood Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09661750406352159996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3565243314006487322.post-42284177958486769172012-05-22T11:52:31.068-07:002012-05-22T11:52:31.068-07:00Oh yeah, it's a whole different film when seen...Oh yeah, it's a whole different film when seen under that context. The monster searches out a young man, actually sniffes for only young males, the monster actually goes through the young protagnists underwear?? <br /><br />The second one has a lot of Salva's affections for young males, he has these young kids pissing next to one another, comparing their penis's, the young dudes are shirtless all the time, again, the creature sniffs these boys out....and the symbolisms of having a giant arrow actually penetrating a schoolbus filled with young dudes did not escape me either! <br /><br />I guess ultimately, Salva sees this side of himelf as a monster.Franco Macabrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994905312221715861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3565243314006487322.post-91253486390360682932012-05-21T10:05:20.412-07:002012-05-21T10:05:20.412-07:00@Emily I couldn't agree more and perhaps it wo...@Emily I couldn't agree more and perhaps it would be more fondly viewed had it not been for such a scandal, which only makes you want to view it in the most harshes of critical view points. Still it is also the debut of Sam Rockwell which I guess is somthing positive to take away from it...right??<br /><br />@Film Connoisseur you can no doubt find it on youtube like so much 80's horror. For some reason I've never found it on DVD to buy here in the UK, but honestly not really search to hard for it and got my copy cheap at a carboot, which is normally a good place to find alot of exrentals. It's funny how I've never considered that view point until you mentioned it, so might have to rewatch Jeepers Creepers again and see if it's a diffrent when viewed like that.Elwood Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09661750406352159996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3565243314006487322.post-74592688336318131132012-05-21T06:20:14.390-07:002012-05-21T06:20:14.390-07:00Always been curious for this film, I need to get m...Always been curious for this film, I need to get my hands on it one way or another.

The problem for me though is that once you learn the backstory, it's almost impossible to watch and not read it as an 80 minute bit of evidence about Salva's abuse. There are so many uncomfortable undertones to how Salva films Winters that are just horrific. It makes it read as a completely different film for me now.deadlydollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061028044836745499noreply@blogger.com
