I saw this in theatres, possibly the second time ever. Anyway, I have to like it because there's more airborne action, what with the homemade harpoon battle and all. The part where the Creeper chasing the pickup truck would have to be one of my favorite scenes, that next to the part(s) where people are simply talking and people are being swept away in the background. The plot outline itself was very good: After winning a high school basketball championship, a busfull of players and cheerleaders break down with a bizarre and symbolic weapon stuck in their tire. The part then where some of the men are sitting on top of the bus trying to get a tan is kind of interesting, because it's like setting up an involuntary buffet for the Creeper. Anyway, the get going, at night, the same thing happens again, but this time, three people vanish. The coach, the bus driver and the co-coach. Then, when one of the cheerleaders has a strange dream, it suddenly makes sense. The Creeper starts picking them off, and at the same time, a local farmer (Ray Wise) has had his son abducted the previous day. So he builds a giant harpoon gun, and goes "Creeper-Hunting".

So as they start to turn against each other on the bus, there's a very interesting climax.
