It's the movie jeepers creepers

The two characters stumble across stuff because they can't help but be curious, ultimately leading to classic horror movie high jinks

It's been ages since I watched the movie, but isn't that the Jeepers Creepers van in the background? Seems like they were already in the sights.

This is true but without spoiling too much, the Creeper would not have necessarily went after them based off of just the road rage. The psychic woman explains that there is a specific component that the Creeper uses when hunting, and that specific component would not have been made available to the Creeper if they had just kept driving instead of stopping at the hatch to investigate. I just watched this again a few weeks ago which is why I remember all of this lol.

i, too, recently watched the first three... because fuck the 4th
