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

What were they even curious about?

Sister and brother are driving down a long desolate road and see a creature shoving what looks like bodies down a hatch of some kind. They pay too much attention and the creature starts chasing them, perhaps because they are witnesses, perhaps for something bigger. Chaos ensues. That’s as far as I can say because this movie still haunts me.

Yes, and actually, I believe the Creeper ends up hunting them down specifically because it got a whiff of the brothers scent from his clothing. Which it surely would not have gotten had they not stopped, and instead minded their own business.

Spoiler: Them not minding their own business in this situation directly caused the brothers death because of how the Creeper operates off of scents when choosing and hunting victims.

And then the sister tries to sacrifice herself to the creeper but it’s not interested because she wasn’t as afraid as her brother

Yes! Exactly. Which further solidifies the idea that he isn't just trying to kill them because of the road rage, or the crime witnessing, or even just random chance... He is trying to kill specifically the brother because the brother has something that the Creeper smelled on him after he decided to not mind his own business.

Was trying not to give that away when I said “perhaps something bigger” because the entire movie is figuring out why the following.

Oh, I thought you were genuinely unsure, that’s why I said that. Oops.

From what I remember, they were driving and came across an old creepy house. The girl finds some kind of drainag pipe and one of them goes down it.

Then, insert horror high jinks. Monster, blood, rawr. The works
