Started good, but got lame really quick.

Jeepers Creepers has a lot going for it. It has a decent premise (nothing extraordinary, but it's workable), several excellent scenes, and a great baddy. Instead, the dialogue is terrible, the characters often make frustratingly awful and difficult to swallow decisions, and several annoying horror movie cliches that honestly should be avoided by any horror movie these days. For the first hour or so, Jeepers Creepers is an interesting, creepy, even innovative two-person horror chase with an unsettling villain and several genuinely unnerving scenes. After the Creeper discards his hat and coat and his true nature is revealed, however, it quickly falls apart.
I really have lost faith in horror films as I get older, I don't think that its just me, for the most part directors keep rehashing many of the same old ideas over and over again, and if they have something original they tend to mutilate it with fluffer that doesn't add anything to the movie itself. What had potential, lost any chance of being considered decent by the end.
