Summary: Jeepers Creepers 2? I want to go to sleep(er)!
Review: I saw the original "Jeepers Creepers" and thought it was a fun, original and somewhat exciting "sleeper" film. "Jeepers Creepers 2" though, does not fall in the same category. Filled with a bigger budget than the original, this movie is tired, boring, alot of bad acting and it's not even scary. This sequel has the "creeper" a unstoppable entity, which warms on human flesh, feasting on a busload of high school kids. Many fans of the original will probably be dissapointed to learn more about the creeper's origins and why it feeds. There's no information whatsoever except for the trailer's marquee label for the film: "it feeds for 23 days." The creeper is the star of the show and not the unscripted teenagers who seem to be stupid by yelling and screaming around like morons. I really hate the characters, there's no one to root for, except for the creeper. I became really bored by this film. There's no gore and no suspense at all. There are alot of anti-climaxes which features the teenage characters popping out of nowhere with no purpose at all. Just a junky, trashy film. Whatever u want to call it, horror fans skip this film entirely.

Summary: Great DVD Weak Movie
Review: I rented this movie with zero expectations. I didn't think I was going to like it, love it, or hate it. I came out somewhere in the middle. Upon entering the DVD in the player I found it to be one of the most thought out, and fun menus I have ever seen. I browsed through the menus, and watched a couple of the featurettes, and got really excited about the movie. I should not have gotten my hopes up. The first one, which I am not fond of, was way better. This one seemed(I hope so at least) to try and be campy. It failed. It played out like a made for T.V., Sci Fi Channel flick. Pointless scenes of the Creeper looking into the camera and smiling, and teenagers that all of a sudden can see into the past. Poor story telling, and bad acting add up to ONE STAR. The other TWO STARS are for the excellent DVD, which I imagine was put together to make up for a sub-par movie.

Summary: Jeepers Creepers...this movie sucks
Review: crummy sequel to the major 2001 original horror hit now has the creepster, played by Jonathan Breck (who played the creepster in the first one) praying on a bus load of students abandoned on a countryside road on a bus. will they survive the onslaught of the creepsters phlight as he must collect more bodies or will some guy, played by Ray Wise (The Chase, Twin Peaks: Fire, Walk With Me), defeat the creepster and put an end to his dasteredly deeds? non-sense of a sequel, should of been fun but in this case it suffers from a awfully dumb plot line and too much boring and excruciating characters, preferably teenagers getting killed again. the action and horror set pieces are laughable. goes in dead and comes out deadening...save your time and place

Review: Jeepers Creepers 2 (Victor Salva, 2003)
Salva makes the same mistake everyone who makes a horror sequel makes with Jeepers Creepers 2; he shows the monster way too much. That said, he has a very good reason to show the monster too much; he's going to play with it. And he does a fantastic job of playing with it.
Aside from showing us sides (and heads) of the Creeper we've never seen before, there's a weird, disturbing underside to this movie that has nothing to do with the flick itself. I won't rehash the long and tragic tale of Victor Salva again; check your email when his next flick comes out (Peaceful Warrior, slated for release in 2006 as of this writing) if you're not up on the details, as activist groups love to give Victor Salva [...]. Now, here's the fun part: Jeepers Creepers 2 has a very "Victor Salva trying to work out his demons" feel to it that all of his other films touch on, but none explore is this sort of detail. The number of buff, shirtless young men in this picture approaches the level of ludicrous, and the camera certainly loves to linger on them. That's probably going to creep the audience out even if it's not aware of Victor Salva's demons. Add in a millenia-old monster that can't be killed, and has all sorts of nifty properties you don't know anything about yet, and you've got yourself one creepy flick here.
The plot is simple. The Creeper (whom you all remember from the first film) comes out every twenty-three years to feed. It's getting towards hibernation time, and the Creeper has to stock up for the next twenty-three years. He starts off by masquerading as a scarecrow in order to abduct a farm boy, whose father (Ray Wise of Twin Peaks fame) vows revenge on the beast. He then heads off to find and devour the inhabitants of a school bus. The bulk of the film focuses on said inhabitants of said bus trying to survive the night, until the Creeper heads back to hibernation.
Now, this is a (relatively) low-budget horror flick, so you know you're not going to be getting any big-name actors; Ray Wise is as big as it gets. Wise, however, has always been one of Hollywood's underrated, and he gives his best performance here since Twin Peaks. Nicki Aycox, recently of Slap Her, She's French, looks as if she's going to give a really good performance, then her character suddenly becomes an extra about halfway through the movie. Everyone else is cookie-cutter replaceable, and the plot wends on its predictable way. Still, the Creeper itself, and the weird sublevels of this film's psyche, make it more than your average (lack-of-)scarefest. ***

Summary: Better than the first
Review: This movie protrayed the characters more real to life than what horror movies usually do. One character wanted to leave the bus, another character asked, "Scottie, with that thing out there!?" No stupid teenagers looking to get killed here. Enjoyable horror movie.

Summary: Enjoyable sequel!
Review:
After the events of "Jeepers Creepers", our no good old friend the Creeper is still starving for more humans. There is a legend about him that every 25 years for 23 days in spring, a bus filled with a high school football team and cheerleaders brakes down somewhere as they are stranded till night to find out there is a deadly monster after them. Only the students with a local farmer must try to destroy the unstoppable killer once and for all time.
Action-packed sequel to the suprise horror thriller hit of 2001! the same director/writer/creator Victor Salvia delivers more goods into this picture with better special effects and more heartpounding thrills.
The Special Edition DVD is great! it's got some killer extras like two audio commentaries, featurettes, documentary, storyboards of not filmed scenes, two photo galleries and the trailer.
A nice leave-your-brain at the door and have fun movie for every horror fan.

Summary: Not as good as first, but a lot of points people miss...
Review: Through out the first film the creature is less slimy than the second, and less human making him scarier than the second. He is more humorous in the second movie (winking at kids, pretending to shoot them, etc.), and alot of aspects of the first film didn't transfer into the second movie. Jeepers Creepers never plays in the second movie, which is the whole point of calling the movie jeepers creepers. they do make references to the other movie however, Darry appears and tells Minxie the low down on the creature, and they even discuss the church with the bodies. But a couple of overlooked factors are that in the first movie the church is burned down and the bodies with it, how could it be found now. Also Tom Tarantini plays Coach Dwayne Barnes in JC2, but in the original he plays a jail bird named roach. No offence, but hire two different actors for two parts, or at least attempt to make him look like a different person. Surprisingly enough, a movie that for about 85% takes place on a bus, and that's it, it wasn't painful to sit through, and although it wasn't extremely scary, there were times when you had to jump. Having Minxie as the "Psychic" also was an odd, but usefull decision. In the first it was a woman named Isabelle, and neither of the kids knew her, but in the second it is Minxie one of the close friends of all those on the bus, playing into they turn against her because they think she didn't tell them her dreams earlier. Although there is some sympathy for a couple of characters (Izzy, Minxie, Betty the bus driver), for the most part you don't seem to sad when one of the kids dies. Scotty for instance, i hated him so much that i was actually happy when the creature killed him. Personally, i think that a side story could have been Izzy's story, it is briefly touched on when they talk about his scar, but never again, it could have been used to an advantage creating more sympathy for Izzy when he was killed, which was also one of the sadest parts of the movie. Overall an okay movie, there are some good looking kids in it though, that always helps. the movie could have been more, but it was alright for a sequel that was not meant to be. I suggest seeing it just for the sake of seeing it... and Dante... and Izzy. Izzy.

Summary: BLAH
Review: This movie had promise but failed somewhat. I wouldnt say its better than the first Jeepers Creepers but it had a good atmosphere and premise for the story. Things started to stink when the busload of jocks came on the screen, then the creeper came back ( to feed ). The creeper is definetly an interesting character and we got to see a little more of him in this film than the first but overall it disapointed. Victors directing and storytelling are good , he can set the scene and add creepiness to the movie but something was lacking. The story goes , the creeper comes back after 23 yrs and feeds every 23 yrs and ends up eating or trying to eat a busload of jocks, Blah, nice try victor. Cant wait to see what jeepers creepers 3 is gona be like.
