An international co-production film between the United Kingdom, United States and Finland.[2] Principal photography commenced for three days in Jackson, Louisiana, on location and at Orwo Studios. Soon after, the production was moved to the United Kingdom.[7] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, filming in the UK was split into two parts. The first began on November 23, 2020, at Black Hangar Studios, and finished on December 19.[8][9] The second took place for eight days between January and February 2021.[10][11][12] The film's title was officially confirmed as Jeepers Creepers: Reborn in February 2021, when Screen Media Films acquired worldwide distribution rights, after previously releasing Jeepers Creepers 3 (2017).[12] At the 2021 European Film Market, Foresight Unlimited showed a promotional reel of footage for international sales.[13]

In March 16, 2021, Myriad Pictures, the production company behind Jeepers Creepers 2 (2003) and Jeepers Creepers 3, filed a property fraud lawsuit against Infinity Films Holdings, one of the film's production companies, for producing the film without Myriad's "knowledge or involvement" and selling the distribution rights to Screen Media Films.[18][19]

Phil Hoad of The Guardian called the film a "shoddy, aesthetically ugly reboot", criticizing the film's poorly-written script and unconvincing production values.[4] The Sydney Morning Herald's Paul Byrnes echoed Hoad's sentiment, noting the poor performances and complete lack of tension severely damaged the overall film, calling the film vastly inferior to the previous entries in the franchise.[21] Joel Harley from Starburst Magazine rated the film two out of ten stars, calling it "dull and forgettable", further calling attention to the low production values and predictable script.[22]
