Despite the usual symptoms of sequelitis, Jeepers Creepers 2 delivers the goods for those who enjoyed the 2001 original--a group large enough to propel this sequel to a record-setting opening in August 2003. While establishing the flesh-eating "Creeper" as a new horror icon with frantic action and more elaborate special effects, writer-director Victor Salva follows the traditional formula, dispensing with plot almost altogether and focusing entirely on threat, menace, mayhem, and gore. That's likely to disappoint horror fans hoping for a more revealing exploration of the Creeper's origins (room for another sequel, perhaps?), and by trapping nondescript teens in a school bus attacked by the Creeper, Salva severely limits the movie's overall potential. Still, there's something to be said for straightforward shocks, and Jeepers Creepers 2 delivers enough of them to justify its profitable existence. --Jeff Shannon
Description
When their bus is crippled on the side of a deserted road, a team of high school athletes discoversan opponent they cannot defeatand may not survive. Staring hungrily at them through the school bus windows, the "Creeper" returns again and again. But when the teammates discover that it's selective about whom it attacks, it will test their ability to stick togetheras the insatiable menace tries to tear them apart!

Curse of the Sequels.......2007-08-08
After a nice first film this series has died very quickly after this complete waste of time and money. The whole thing is really very flat and unwatchable
Worse than the original, needs improvement.......2007-08-03
After watching the original Jeepers Creepers and knowing the potential it could have had, I decided to watch the second movie in hopes that the previous movie's mistakes would be corrected. Unfortunately, I was wrong.
So what's this movie about? A group of kids are on a bus presumably coming from or going to a sports function. The bus gets a flat tire and that's when the chaos begins. Ultimately, they learn that there's a monster outside the bus and he's carefully choosing which kids to take. And once he has chosen his prey, there's no stopping him. The rest of the movie has the kids finding a way to survive.
Let's talk about the positives first. First, if you're the type of person that thinks "monsters" are scary (I'm not one of those people), I'd say that the monster in Jeepers Creepers is fairly "scary" looking. Second, although the storyline is nothing special, the fact that the kids can do nothing to prevent their death once the monster chooses them is rather creepy and in some ways it aids the movement of the movie in general.
And now for the negatives. Without giving too much away, after the bus scene is over, the movie goes downhill. There's no buildup/climax. The supposed "scary" parts of the film did nothing to instill fear in me. Rather, I was completely bored and waiting for something, ANYTHING that would potentially spice up the movie a bit. To make matters worse, the vulnerable, yet appetizing characters that are so typical in scary movies make me want to vomit. There's only so much I can take with the complete overuse of profanity and sexual innuendo. The only thing this did was make me dislike the characters and scream at the screen "Just kill them already!"
If you liked the first Jeepers Creepers, you might like the second movie. If you didn't like the first one, I'd star far, far away from Jeepers Creepers 2.
The best 2nd movie of Jeepers Creepers.......2007-03-06
This movie is still great!! I have Jeepers Creepers 1 and 2 looking forward to have 3 in the future!!
Acceptable sequel that hasn't learnt from the originals flaws........2007-02-16
I was quite excited to hear that "Jeepers Creepers" was getting the sequel treatment. The Creeper is a great character and deserves to get some more screen time, and while the first one certainly had its flaws, it was entertaining throughout, particularly during the first half. I was even more eager when I found out Victor Salva was directing once again, yet none of the original cast (apart from a cameo from Darry) took part this time round. Now that I've seen "Jeepers Creepers II" a couple of times, I have to say I'm somewhat disappointed. There's no doubt that Victor Salva knows how to shoot some intensely gripping scenes, but he hasn't learnt from any of the mistakes he made the first time round.
Once again, the movie starts off well enough. The opening scene is filmed really well and gives us a very good idea why Jack Taggart (played by the ever dependable Ray Wise) dedicates the rest of his life to bringing down The Creeper. From here we move to a bus carrying a gridiron team as they make their way home from the state championships. And that's where we stay for pretty much the next hour and a bit. The football team is filled with clichés. Tough guys, bimbo cheerleaders, racial tensions etc. etc. The movie becomes as much about the real-life bonding of the team for survival as it is about The Creeper's unstoppable killing resolve.
The best parts of "Jeepers Creepers 2" all involve The Creeper being on screen. He looks fantastically horrific and takes out victims quickly and efficiently. When he's there, things are exciting and unpredictable. But when he's not on screen, things drag out, with the constant bickering between characters and clunky dialogue really testing patience. But my biggest gripes are the same as they were in the first film. While The Creeper doesn't whistle the theme song this time round, the scene where he winks at intended victims and licks his lips just doesn't sit well with me. There's always this underlying sense of humour that I feel this series could do without. And then there's the psychic cheerleader! The psychic woman in Jeepers Creepers pushed the realms of cheap storytelling, but the cheerleader scenario crosses the line. One minute she's a normal, everyday cheerleader and the next she's a psychic that knows everything there is to know about The Creeper, his history and his purpose. Surely the writers could come up with a more realistic device for getting the story across.
Flaws aside, "Jeepers Creepers II" is an ok sequel. It's not as good as the first film but then not many sequels are, particularly in this genre. Some of the set pieces are enjoyable and worthwhile, but I still feel there's a better movie to be made with the story and The Creeper. In the meantime, this is acceptable, if not essential viewing.
This movie is cool..........2007-01-24
If you are a fan of the first Jeepers Creepers then this movie won't disappoint you at all. The special effects have improved as well as the look of Creepers too. The story is pretty cool and once again Jonathan Breck pulls off the part of "Creepers" playing him as a highly intelligent gargoyle that has a sense of humor!
Anyone that doesn't understand these movies or doesn't appreciate them for what they are is over-analyzing them. I give this movie 5 stars - it was totally entertaining!
