I really enjoyed the first film, as I did the sequal until I watched it a second time. The sequal is pretty bad.
I read a few years back they planned on making a third about the 22 year myth of the Creeper and had to go back as far as the wild west to make it so. Im quite surprised it has happened at all to be honest.
I cant say Im a fan of the director,  wrongly or rightly because of his personal life, but I will probably check this one out eventually.
