Philips,
26, was a native from Miami, Florida before she
moved to Los Angeles. As a kid, Philips says she
grew up on horror films. " I'm a horror movie fanatic.
My dad made me watch them when I was really, really
young. I just grew up on them. I always loved them
and I loved getting scared. Not a lot scares me.
I won't even read [the scripts for] some of the
horror movies that I love going to see and I think
they're really fun movies, but, they just weren't
that old school horror to me." In "Jeepers Creepers,"
Philips plays Trish, who, along with her brother
Darry, drive down a stretch of country road, only
to recall an old story of a couple that disappeared
twenty years earlier. When they stumble upon an
old church, a strange figure spots them and chases
them down the road. Trish and Darry find themselves
near an old pipe and climb in when they see an injured
boy.
To their
horror, they are led to several mutilated bodies
on the walls, and something more terrifying than
they ever imagined is out to get them. Sounds like
the traditional horror films you saw as a kid? Gina
thinks so. "I read [the script], the first 20 pages,
and I immediately went "Oh my God, this is the scariest
thing I've ever read, it's so like the kind of horror
movies I grew up with, my dad would be so proud!"
It had the feeling of an old-school horror movie
to me. Once I met with [Director] Victor [Salva]
and talked to him about his ideas, his thoughts,
I realized that was the direction he was going in.
I think there is a feeling of old Hitchcock in there.
There are parts that are tributes to some of the
old great horror movies and the old great filmmakers."
Philips believes that "Jeepers Creepers" meets the
conditions of what any good horror film should be.
"Number one is that it just scares people! Your
hair is standing up on your arms, or at least that
there's a few moments when you're jumping. That's
what makes it a good horror movie. All these horror
movies are slasher film now. I like them, they're
fun, but they wink at the audience and you're really
not terrified through the movie. I think suspense
is a big thing. In this movie, that's one of the
things I love cause there's so much suspense. That's
what makes it fun." |
