First Trailer Review: Jeepers Creepers 5 (2025)
The Creeper is back β and heβs more terrifying than ever. The official trailer for Jeepers Creepers 5 has landed, and it marks a dark, blood-chilling return to one of horrorβs most iconic and mysterious monsters. With a fresh cast, a new setting, and deeper lore, this fifth installment promises to revive the fear that haunted fans for decades.
Set 23 years after the last known sighting, the film follows a group of documentary filmmakers who venture into a long-abandoned town in Louisiana β a place wiped off the map after a series of gruesome disappearances. Armed with cameras, folklore, and bravado, they unknowingly awaken the very legend they came to debunk.
The trailer teases a nightmarish descent into darkness: rusted vehicles filled with bones, scarecrows that move when no one’s watching, and that chilling whistle echoing through the fog. The Creeperβs silhouette appears slowly, wings unfolding in moonlight, letting fans know β the feeding has begun again.
The cast includes Maya Hawke as a sharp and skeptical journalist, Caleb Landry Jones as the local drifter with buried secrets, and Doug Jones reportedly taking on the Creeper role with terrifying physicality. The film leans into a more suspenseful, folklore-horror tone while still delivering the jump scares and gruesome kills longtime fans expect.
Directed by Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill House), this installment appears more psychological and mythic, diving deeper into the Creeperβs origins and the cursed land he haunts.
Verdict: Jeepers Creepers 5 looks like a chilling rebirth of the franchise β atmospheric, haunting, and finally giving the Creeper the mythology he deserves. If the trailer is any indication, horror fans are in for a ride through fear, folklore, and flight.
