As they plot their course of action, the Creeper targets a busload of high school athletes, their coaches and a few cheerleaders who are returning from a championship outing. Disabling the bus on a desolate country road by flattening some of its tires, the Creeper awaits darkness to pick out its potential victims.
Among them are Coaches Charlie Hanna (THOM GOSSOM, JR.) and Dwayne Barnes (TOM TARANTINI) and bus driver Betty (DIANE DELANO). They try to protect the likes of cheerleaders Minxie (NICKI AYCOX) and Rhonda (MARIEH DELFINO), along with members of the basketball team including "D" (GARIKAYI MUTAMBIRWA), Scott (ERIC NENNINGER), Izzy (TRAVIS SCHIFFNER), Dante (AL SANTOS), Jake (JOSH HAMMOND) and equipment manager Bucky (BILLY AARON BROWN).
As the night grows dark, however, their actions seem for naught as the Creeper picks off his victims one by one, all while terrorizing the others. With the Taggarts on the way and Minxie having dreams that inform them of what's occurring, the trapped students try to avoid becoming the Creeper's next victim.
While most of the deaths occur off-screen, some of that violence does have bloody and gory results (including a decapitation and other graphic wounds). Those scenes and much of the overall film (including many "jump scenes") might be unsettling, suspenseful and/or scary to viewers, particularly younger ones and those with low tolerance levels for such horror-based mayhem.
A few characters briefly smoke and some drug references are made, while various characters have varying degrees of bad attitudes. Beyond that, a father must deal with the death of his son.
