• This should have been part one. posted on 18 Aug 2009

  I mean this one was more exciting then the first, and we got to know the creeper a little. It takes place several days after the first one. The Creeper traps a bunch of teenagers on a school bus. The teenagers are filled with fear on how are they gonna think there way out of this. During that time a father(Ray Wise) is hot the creepers trail, wants for revenge for killing his son. It kinda reminds you of Jaws 2 almost. It was exciting, with heart pounding suspence, and a little humor mixed in. I can't wait for this come out on DVD.

• Makes no sense, but still manages to entertain. posted on 16 Aug 2009

  Once again Victor Salva proves that despite being a more than capable director, he struggles to put together a logical and cohesive script. Set a few days after the first movie, Jeepers Creepers 2 has more than its fair share of effective, scary scenes but also has some of the most ridiculous plot-holes and idiotic moments in a horror movie that I have seen in a long time.The Creeper, the bat-winged monster from the first film, is nearing the end of its feeding cycle (an inexplicable 23 day period that occurs every 23 years) and attacks a bus load of football players in one final attempt to satisfy its hunger. The terrified teenagers are trapped in the bus and, one by one, they are picked off by the ravenous critter.If one can ignore the film's more outlandish and unbelievable elements (a tall order, I know, since there are so many), there is much to enjoy in this atmospheric sequel. The effects are first rate and the cinematography is simply stunning. Great use is made of the remote locale and no opportunity is wasted to make the audience jump.The character of the Creeper is developed nicely, and he proves to be one genuinely unsettling movie monster, crawling over the stranded bus, sniffing out potential victims and then pouncing on his prey.Despite its glaring faults (and the fact that convicted child molester Salva gives us far too many lovingly crafted shots of the jocks stripped to the waist!), I still say 'give this one a go'—it's a fun film that surpasses the original.

• Don't watch it. posted on 12 Aug 2009

  This sequel was a monstrous letdown. The only resemblance it bears to the first JC, is its title. The first gave you two characters, whose conflicts interest you and builds intensity by letting the imagination do most of the talking. Instead of risking a slight amount of predictability by borrowing from its predecessor, the film chews the whole idea up and spits it out in the form of JC2.Due to the Creeper's 23-yr schedule (betcha he's kicking himself over that choice) Salva is forced to make JC2 real-time rather than mess with pesky past or future details, so it's the same Creeper, same town, days later...as if right where the first left off. Which isn't a bad idea. But Salva treats it more as an annoyance and other than a brief radio announcement and a cameo in visions, JC1 might as well have never existed.Terrible, shoddy script work throws together a diverse (black AND white!) bunch of tense, but good-looking teens battling the odds. Salva does take one bold step having half the male cast take their shirts off, considering your average horror flick fan.Once the Creeper arrives his presence is almost cartoonish, and you may be surprised to find that he has conformed to modern society since the day that's passed since JC1, by developing a sense of humor. The two films are such polar opposites one could only suggest this was just made out of the outtakes of the first. What a lazy, bad waste of a remake.

• Too many characters and too many questions left unanswered - SPOILERS posted on 04 Aug 2009

  Jeepers Creepers 2 (2003) has a bigger budget, a bigger cast, yet smaller entertainment. What made the first film so unique was that we saw a new villain, it actually was suspenseful, and it had characters that you cared about. In the sequel, there are too many characters and too many questions left unanswered. The story this time around is this:Every 23 years, for 23 days, The Creeper gets to eat people until his time is up. The opening scene is on the 22nd day. We see Billy (Shaun ) setting up scarecrows on his family's ranch. Jack Taggart (Ray Wise) is setting up a fence post, while Jack Jr. (Luke Edwards) is working on their truck. The Creeper poses as a scarecrow and promptly chases Billy. Taggart and Jack Jr. are horrified when The Creeper takes Billy and flies away. The rest of the film takes place on day 23: A school bus full of high school students is driving home from a championship game (which they won) when one of their tires blows out. Upon further inspection, there is some type of throwing star jammed into the tire. The star is made of bone and teeth. So while the kids get a tan and have a piss break, The Creeper flies above them, waiting anxiously for the right time to make the first kill. Come night, The Creeper has taken the bus driver and both of the coaches. Among the kids are selfish/racist Braddock (Eric Nenninger), psychic Minxie (Nicki Lynn Aycox), loser Bucky (Billy Aaron Brown), homosexual Izzy (Travis Schiffner), and Double D (Garikayi Mutambirwa). As The Creeper decides which kids he wants, Minxie has visions of the dead Darry (Justin Long) and the dead Billy trying to warn her of the monster who lurks just outside. The Creeper then proceeds to kill the kids off, while Taggart and Jack Jr. drive to the bus in hopes of exacting revenge on the winged creature and finally putting an end to it. No one's safe. Everyone is in danger of being eaten. And it doesn't help that Braddock wants to separate everyone. As the number of kids is swiftly lowering, Taggart attempts to finally bring the demise of The Creeper, which leads to the surprising yet strange ending.As I said earlier, the sequel suffers from having way too many characters. We aren't given much, if any, background on any of the characters. This of course means that the audience could care less if these people die or not. We have no connection to these characters, whereas in the first film we felt sympathy for Trish and Darry. Plus, in Jeeper Creepers 2, we see The Creeper fly off with many people but we don't see what happens to them or where they are taken to, which is a sorely missed opportunity. Also, in about the middle of the movie, a bunch of the kids run away from the bus and The Creeper. A couple of them are killed, while see see a couple of them still alive. What happened to the other 8 people out there? We never see if they escaped or if they were killed.But, that doesn't mean that Jeepers Creepers 2 is entirely bad. I mean, The Creeper has plenty of action and his weapons are creative. Plus, there is a gross-out death scene that is worth mentioning. You will have to see it in order to fully appreciate it! Sometimes, though, more action does not make up for less story. We still don't know the history of The Creeper, nor do we know exactly what the hell he is!As sequels go, this one is pretty standard stuff. What's also standard is the acting, which although is toilet-paper worthy, is somewhat entertaining. It seems like Ray Wise is the only actor trying to create more than just cardboard character. And as before, Jonathan Breck is simply awesome as The Creeper! His character never gets boring or repetitive.Victor Salva should take a good look at both of his film and decide which kind of horror movies he wants to make: something unique and original or something standard and direct-to-video worthy. I must give Salva some credit, though, for creating a new monster that we haven't seen before. So while Jeepers Creepers 2 is entertaining, the first is still better. See this one if you must, but be warned that you might not get what you expect. The ending this time is more audience-friendly, and it of course could potentially lead to another sequel. I give Jeepers Creepers 2 (2003) a 6.5 out of 10.

• *Yawn* posted on 02 Aug 2009

  Wow, and just when I thought that the film industry couldn't get any worse...then comes along the sequel to Jeepers Creepers.The only things slightly different about this one were:1) Different people 2) The monster dude can fly 3) They're in the same corn field the WHOLE movie 4) More killingOkay, so it starts out on this random farm in the middle of nowhere. Cue little boy hanging up scarecrow. The boy notices that the middle scarecrow moved. And what does he do? He walks right up to the damn thing. WHOOSH. He gets picked up and flown away by that Creeper fag. So his father is obsessed with avenging his stupid and naive little son.Then it just goes to these random dipsh*ts on a school bus screaming about some championship they had won. Whatever. Then suddenly a tire gets busted out. By this boomerang-type thingy made out of bones and teeth. No, really. Teeth.So the bus rambles on. The chaperones think nothing of it, right when the other tire gets bursted out. This time it's by a boomerang thing made out of the guy from the first movie's belly button. So then it gets dark and one by one the chaperones get flown away by the Creeper. (Ha ha, Kathy Bates is one of them.) So, all this stuff happens, and the Creeper picks out the kids he wants to eat. *Laughs* Sorry, that came out wrong. Meanwhile, the father of the naive little boy is building some sort of contraption to kill the Creeper. Um, a bunch of kids on the bus get killed, and then they realise they better run for it.So they all start running, and the Creeper kills a sh*tload of em with his boomerangs of doom. Well, in the midst of all this incoherent horse sh*t, one of the cheerleader girls from the bus is psychic, and she has a vision and learns all about the Creeper. Yeah a bunch of stuff happens, more killing...then some stuff happens and the father of the little boy shows up with his killing machine. Yeah, finally some stuff happens and the Creeper loses one arm and one leg, and yet he's still alive. Then he starts, like, hopping. I laughed my a** off at this point. So he's hopping because of his lack of limb, and he's trying to go after some black guy. So the father guy shows up out of nowhere with a pol volt from the school bus, and starts stabbing the Creeper, saying, "DIE! DIE! DIE!" at every stab. That part was hilarious as well. So the Creeper thing shrinks all up into this little exoskeleton. He's dead.Fast forward 23 years. Two dudes and a chick drive up to this farm and ask this guy something about if "it" was real. And the guy says, "Ask my dad. He killed it 23 years ago." Heh. Turns out the father and the brother of the little boy charge $5 a person to see "the bat out of hell". So these kids go through and see this old man sitting in a chair next to that damned contraption from 23 years ago. (Obviously, he hadn't dusted it off for 23 years, either.) And so the girl asks him, "Are you waiting for something?" in a rebellious tone. And the old man simply says, "Give it about three days..." or something of that nature, then the movie's over. Conclusion: DON'T SEE JEEPERS CREEPERS 2.

• At least the first one had a story attached to it... posted on 17 Jul 2009

  I went to this movie not really expecting too much and thats exactly what I got. This was just another typical 2003 Summer Sequel...only worse. At least there was some kinda build up from the first movie. This one left no suspense from the beginning. Thumbs and big toes down.

• Above Average and Entertaining Horror Film posted on 15 Jul 2009

  I must admit that I rented Jeepers Creepers II for viewing during one of those trips to Blockbuster where I couldn't fin anything I really wanted to see. I enjoyed the first movie, but sequels are usually a big disappointment. However, I thoroughly enjoyed Jeepers Creepers II (and I), though I really think the sequel was better than the first film. The character development is surprisingly solid for a horror film, and the creature is legitimately scary. I am very surprised by the low IMDb voter ratings for this film. When you watch a horror film with a monster or creature as the bad guy, you have to realize that the "monster" is not likely to be realistic. It is not intended to be plausible that a boogie-man exists, I mean it is a monster movie. You should put your disbelief aside and check out this film on a Friday night with a friend with all the lights turned off. It is very entertaining. Every one I know who has rented this film based on my recommendation has liked it.

• Give Me a F***in' Break posted on 09 Jul 2009

  *Possible Spoilers* This movie failed to live up to the mediocrity of the original. Its hard to believe that any time was spent on the making of this film at all. Dont get me wrong, the idea of a football team thats stuck on a bus in the middle of nowhere being killed of by a nasty monster is interesting, to say the least, but it was badly done. The acting was terrible, the characters were moronic, and the fact that half of the football team was gay didnt exactly add to the story either. I have nothing against gays, but what was with the homoeroticism? It was totally out of place and added nothing to the story.After a while I found this film to be slowpaced and boring. There were over a dozen potential victims but only a few people actually died, only one of which was killed on screen, and even then his death looked cheesy and fake(the rest were carried away by the creeper, leaving their methods of demise to our imagination.) Sadly the end left it open for another sequel, blah. Overall, see it if you liked the first one, otherwise skip this one. 4/10

• Disapointing sequel posted on 07 Jul 2009

  Sequel to the original film from last year.. the original was excellent for the first half and then fell apart at the end.. this one stays closer to the ending of the original than the cool opening.. The opening of this film set in a corn field durring the day is actualy quite good, with good suspense and excellent camerawork.. however, the film quickly dispenses with that idea and introduces a group of incredibly anoying high school basketball players and cheerleaders, none of whom is the least bit appealing and all of whom are truely terrible actors. The Creeper, much less scary this time around, proceeds to pick them off one at a time until the badly edited and concieved ending sequence which makes very little sense. A bit of a disapointment on this one. GRADE: D

• Where'd Ya Get Those Peepers? posted on 19 Jun 2009

  My interest was actually kept during this movie. Because none of the actors were known, I was skeptical at first. Then, after I saw the movie, I liked it. The only thing that stunk was that they didn't play the 'Jeepers Creepers' song. 7 out of 10.

• a worthy sequel posted on 05 Jun 2009

  ***spoilers***this movie is just as good as the original. It wasn't scary, just still pretty good. There was not many bad cgi scenes in the movie, which is great since bad cgi sucks. I think the Creeper is the new Horror icon for now. Freddy, Jason, Michael, Leatherface, Pinhead - these icons are old & should have stayed back in the 80's/early 90's where they belong. well, if you enjoyed the 1st movie, ,you should enjoy this 1 too. I'm glad Victor didn't give us 1 of those 'Boo! Ha-ha, I am still alive' endings in the end. I think the ending to this was really good. Ray Wise was great.If they do make a sequel, which I'm sure they will, since its #1 at B.O. & MGM studios always does a sequel to a moderate hit - **cough-Agent Cody Banks, Barbershop-cough** there just better not be 5-10 more sequels like the Freddy, Jason & Michael myers, cause those sequels suck & are pointless & so repetitive.I did like the idea of a prequel where the creeper is back in the 1800's in the old west. That may be good, but other than that, NO MORE SEQUELS!!

• Good for a laugh and cool FX posted on 03 Jun 2009

  I will say that I am not easily scared, so this movie definitely missed the mark in that department with me. However, I still really liked the movie despite the fact that it was not "horrifying." Personally I didn't think it ever was trying to be. Come on...the main charas in both the first and second were dumb as dirt, often bordering unbelievably idiotic, but it just made the movie more fun. You're there to watch them get chased around by this freakish demon-thing, waiting for them to get it! Just lighten up when you're watching J2; laughing in a horror movie that has funny parts isn't bad. What I was expecting (and hoping for) in J2 was more of the Creeper, and that's what I got. I loved the fx and thought that it just made it more interesting that we got to see more of him. He is a good villan with a twisted sense of humor. The only beef I had was when he was flying and throwing those spikey things at the kids: that looked kinda cheesy. But other than that eensy segment, it was great! And people should let up on the gay stuff. The kid was just *accused* of being gay, it was niether proven nor disproven, and in any case, it was just an example of the kind of banter you would find in any high school situation.

• They Took A Decent And Halfway Original Horror Movie And Ruined It With This Sequel. posted on 28 May 2009

  I enjoyed the first movie so much, that I couldn't wait to rent the sequel. This one has to be some of the biggest trash ever produced to simply make a quick buck off of something that was good when left alone. Boy was I disappointed.You can tell the script for this was probably written in days as there is no real story here. You would think they would at least answer some questions about the mysteriousness of the creature. I read somewhere on this site's trivia page that the purpose of the feeding every 23rd Spring for 23 days was done simply so there wouldn't be a sequel. If that's true, then they had it right the first time and shouldn't have changed it, and by leaving it open for a 3rd installment was even worse.The creature is the only thing in the movie that's worth seeing, but I would have liked some back story on it somewhere over the last 2 movies. You know what happened to Freddy, Jason and Michael Myers so why not this one? It's probably better I don't know than have the writers make up some half-wit idea. Not even worth a rental but most who liked the first will want to see it anyways.

• Not nearly as good as it's original posted on 28 May 2009

  Jeepers Creepers was the first movie I watched with my girlfriend about a year and a half ago, so we were sure to pick this one as well. Too bad it ain't half as exciting or frightening as it's original...The creep from part one is back to feed himself again, and is aiming at a busload full of football players and cheerleaders, who get help from a family of farmers who have some kind of cool harpoon weapon.Creepyness from part one is traded for silliness in this one, with only a scare or two. Too bad as the monster still is a pretty cool one...4/10.

• to bsbgirl posted on 26 May 2009

  The brother who died in the original Jeepers Creepers returns in the second in the form of a vision/dream to warn the trapped teenagers of the impending danger, however his screen time is very brief. How many times have we seen this before? countless

• A Sly Setup for Number 3 posted on 24 May 2009

  This movie is nothing more then the Director's lame attempt to set us up for Part 3. The movie has the same plot as the original and the same senseless violence and killing. The movie ends with nothing more accomplished then it began. Simply a setup for the next worthless installment of the Jeep Creep. The first hour of the original was actually a good fright flick. But everything else afterward has been horribly bad. I give this a 1 out of 10, and thats being generous. Mr.Uxo's take: Avoid this like the plague.

• Better than the first!!! posted on 16 May 2009

  Jeepers Creepers 2 is better than the first one because I thought of it as being more interesting with more people in it this time. I think it was the best movie I've seen this year. I would definetly recommend it to anyone.

• Amusing But Silly posted on 02 May 2009

  I didn't see the previous film. But the sequel is pretty silly! The very-well-done opening sequence is the highlight of the film. In the classic horror movies of yore, the monsters always had an Achilles heel (crucifix; silver bullet; fire). But starting in the 1980s and continuing today, movie monsters are essentially unstoppable serial killers. Enough already! The best horror movie since 1980 is THE OTHERS. JC2 was amusing but not worth $8.50.

• It's Not What I Expected At Least posted on 26 Apr 2009

  What I didn't expect to see was Justin Long as Darry Jenner (he died in the first film), and what was more surprising was that I didn't see Gina Philips (Darry's sister). I figured since she was the main survivor in the first film, she would come back or something to help others on a quest for vengeance. While yeah, that does sound lame, it is rather predictable. But just as I was about to give the director credit for opting out of this norm, I read that Philips turned down the role for the sequel. Out the window went that credit.Still trying to stand on two legs, Jeepers Creepers 2 further develops the character of The Creeper (much like Predator 2 tried to amplify on the original). The Creeper now has crude weapons, we see much more of his physical appearance, and he has more...personality, I guess you could say. The regeneration process is filmed in detail as victims are consumed. The film starts out marvelously with an excellent shot of The Creeper pinned up as some black scarecrow against a sunset sky. Great photography! Then things get a bit weird when he attacks a bus-load of high schoolers. One student has paranormal episodes with one of The Creeper's victims. Then a couple of hillbillies decide to go postal with homemade harpoon gun! How they ever flipped that truck back over, I'll never guess.Other than seeing more of Ole' Big Ugly, this film doesn't do much more. You get to hear a bunch of teenagers whine, fight, and get scared to death. Some of the horror brings a good chuckle. The ending, although once again not what I expected, seems to leave you disappointedly hanging as you can see them setting up for yet another sequel. 4/10 The ending

• Some good moments posted on 08 Apr 2009

  Okay, this movie isn´t a masterpiece, but however. It has some good moments and a touch of self-irony. The differnce to parts one (which I like very much) is that masse of characters. But it´s still no Tennie-Slasher.And the question, why F.F. Coppola produced that movie is stupid - Everybody in Hollywood, even he could make something stupid. Remember this bad, silly and stupid movie "Jack"...(and who was the director,hm...right...) So my resume:For J.C. 2- six stars...
