My Take
Victor Salva is a filmmaker I find genuinely hard to write about, and I think that honesty matters. Purely as craft, the original Jeepers Creepers is a masterclass in turning an empty rural road into mounting dread, and Powder showed he could work outside horror with real sensitivity. But his work is inseparable, for many viewers, from controversy off-screen, and that shapes how the films are received. I tend to separate a director's technical skill from the larger reckoning around them, yet I won't pretend that line is simple. The talent is real; how each viewer weighs it is rightly their own call.
