Duel vs Jeepers Creepers

which is better, Duel or Jeepers Creepers?

both movies feature a bad dude in a truck trying to kill some ppl on a deserted highway, but in one the bad dude is a truckdriver in the other a demon.
im not asking who would beat each other in a fight (we know the creeper would win) im asking which movie is better

Duel for sure, the only thing you ever see of the driver in Duel is his arm when he waves the guy around and almost gets him killed. For all you know the driver of the truck could be the devil himself or a lesser demon for that matter. Duel is one of the best short stories and films that I have ever read or have seen.

I nvever did understand why the Creeper (not me) would be driving a truck except to cover up who he is and what he is doing if all he had to do was fly down grab ya and fly off just as quick, there would be less believability of witnesses, who the hell is going to believe that,'A giant bat like figure flew down and stole my girl' or this guy in a truck stole my girl and here is a description of the truck. Still I think it added to the suspense and made the movie more frightening.

I think the whole beginning chase scene in Jeepers is an homage to Duel.

My favorite shot in Jeepers is when they strap the camera to the front of the Creeper van and it's barrelling after the kid's car. I love how shaky and quick it looks.

I love when they do shots like that, anything with the camera on the vehicle showing the victims trying to get away is Kool.

I think it would have been Kool to show the Creepers claws on the steering wheel while he was driving but that would have given it away that he wasnt human.

there were a lot of times in the movie where u could see the truck drivers arms steering the wheel, they were hairy human arms. also there's one scene when he chases Dennis Weavers character on foot and you see his cowboy boots.
