Summary: What would horror movies be without dumb american teenagers?
Review: This has all the elements of a classic B grade horror movie. American teenagers, a ditzy cheerleader who suddenly becomes psychic, a monster who looks like Freddy Kruger in a phantom of opera costume (called the Creeper, though he ought to be called the eater), albeit with bat wings who keeps coming back to life, a lot of screaming, and a lone ranger (accompanied by kid) who is determined to seek revenge against the monster.It starts with a quick kill by the monster who flies away with a young blonde kid as his father, brother and cowardly dog watch. Then, we have a bunch of insufferable football players who are travelling in a school bus down a corn field lined road. (Nebraska? Kansas?) Their tyres blow out, courtesy cool ninja star like weapon thrown by the monster and the monster then proceeds to kill the adults and stalk the kids who are cowering in the bus. They do the classic horror movie stuff like splitting up when they ought to stick together, fight among themselves, yell a lot. Hollywood has never credited American teenagers with any intelligence. And the movie predictably meanders towards a highly predictable end, right down to the `oh the monster is not dead' ending. Where this movie fails, and fails miserably is that by scene 5, you are rooting for the creeper guy. My friends and I kept yelling our choice of victim because most of them were all so insufferably obnoxious. The Creeper killed 3 of them, and at the end of the movie, there were atleast 5 teenagers we wished the Creeper had digested just so we didn't have to see more of them. On the positive side, it has some very good looking men. Especially for those of you of the `izzy or isn't he' persuation. (The movie has an ostensibly gay guy'.) And for once, it has a lot of inconsequential black actors who are not the first to be eliminated. But all in all, it is the kind of horror movie that is never keeps you second guessing.

Summary: Not close to the first movie!
Review: I was eager to see this movie because I loved the first one, but this was a huge dissapointment. The monster changed abit with the weapons he has and the things he can do, and now they say he "smells fear". There are no likable characters in the film just annoying ones like Scotty (I think that was his name), the jock who should have been done with alot earlier in the film. Don't expect much from this, the ending is dissapointing too, because I thought that it would end in a way where no more movies are made but it really didn't end like that. If you haven't seen the first DO NOT WATCH THIS!!! And if you don't watch horror movies regularly then don't watch this or ANY OTHER HORROR MOVIE! Horror movies are for fans of horror movies only, I hate seeing fans of other genres of more serious films bashing horror movies. These movies were not made for you do don't watch them, if you're not a fan of other horror movies why would you watch any at all??? Anyways if you are a huge horror movie fan watch this just to know about the movie and see some nice gruesome scenes, but don't watch it if you're not a horror movie fan.

Summary: Explains The First... Sort Of
Review: It is just a few days after the first movie and we are introduced to some new characters. This time we have a rural family (their youngest is the first victim in this movie) and a bus load of a sports team (plus cheerleaders and coaches). We learn that every 23rd Spring, for 23 days, the creature is allowed to eat. Unfortunately This does not quite match the first movie where the main characters are spooked by an earlier disappearance on the road and then find the body in the Creeper's lair. But we quickly realize that there is a time factor. If the cast can survive just a little longer, the time will be up. Add a vengeful farmer and things move very fast. As this is the second movie, the body count is higher and the methods of killing are more creative. The acting is not quite as good as in the first, but then there are more characters to manage. The ending is a little silly as some teens drive up to a farm in a truck that must be 70+ years old. Plenty of good extras (unlike the first one) so once the movie is done, there is still plenty of creepiness left.

Summary: Jeepers Creepers II
Review: I totally enjoyed "Jeepers Creepers" when it was released in 2001. It was a good scare fest, that didn't have to exactly rely on gore or lots of blood. I thought the atmosphere was very intimidating and left me shaken. The ending also was a shocker and I was in disbelief for awhile. It also introduced to a new menace. The idea of not knowing where are why this thing was here in the country side was scary. After watching that movie, I thought that was a great and maybe one of my favorite scary movies. In 2003, "Jeepers Creepers II" was released. I went into it with little expectations surprisingly. I felt like the first one could not be surpassed and that was true for the most part. The first one was a straight out horror movie. The sequel mixes different things together such as more action, some horror, interesting characters, etc. And believe me, the sequel is still not as great as the first, but it is a great movie. The movie begins with the words, "Every 23rd Spring, for 23 days, it gets to eat". Then the words "Day 22" appear on the screen. We meet the Taggarts: Jack Taggart, Sr. (Ray Wise), Jack Taggart, Jr. (Luke Edwards), and little Billy Taggart (Shaun Flemming). Billy is putting up scarecrows on their posts, when he senses that one of them is alive. He flees, but instead the Creeper drags him through the cornfield and flies away. Somewhere a bit far off, there is a busload of basketball players: Scotty Braddock (Eric Nenninger), who is sort of racist and likes to be left alone. There is the team's ball manager, Bucky (Billy Aaron Brown). The cheerleaders are there as well, Minxie (Nicki Lynn Aycox) is one that is having premonitions about this man. Anyway, there are coming home from a State Championship game and their bus becomes disabled. Then the coaches are dispatched quickly by the Creeper and the teenagers start to freak. Not only is there a conflict with the Creeper, but inside the bus angers flare, because of race, ideas, opinions, etc. Then we learn that the Creeper has chosen people that it wants to eat. Pretty soon, the body count starts to rise, but maybe the Creeper can be stopped, because it will go into hibernation... and now Jack Taggart is seeking revenge and wants to put an end to the beast. Plot - The idea of the movie is pretty cool, but the original's beats it. The idea of teenagers being stuck in a certain place and chased by a creature is a usual idea among horror movies today. Surprisingly though, I thought they made this plot believable. We know learn what the Creeper can do (fly, hurl throwing stars, etc). He is a bit more fleshed out and makes you wanting more and more of the Creeper to appear on the screen. I also like the side story of the farmer and his oldest son hunting down the Creeper. It was a cool idea of a revenge plot too. PLOT - 92 Acting - The acting was pretty good for the most part. Eric Nenninger was good as Scotty. He gave his character snotty and mean characteristics. He's one of those guys you love to hate. Nicki Lynn Aycox did an okay job as Minxie. She wasn't really fleshed out though. I feel like I wanted to know more about her. Billy Aaron Brown does a great job as the scared, but determined Bucky. The rest of the people on the bus aren't fleshed out that well and halfway into the movie, most of them disappear. I didn't get it. The two that stand out though are Ray Wise and the Creeper himself. Ray Wise doesn't say much, but you know what he is thinking by his actions. Jonathan Breck is great as the Creeper. He makes him terrifying in his own way and seems to love playing him. Breck really becomes the character. ACTING - 85 Special FX/Gore - The special effects in this movie are nearly perfect. The Creeper looks great when he is flying around and it looks realistic for the most part. There isn't that much gore in this movie, which is a good thing. It still mostly relied on atmosphere and entrapment inside the bus. People do get killed though and sometimes violently. At other times, people will be swooped away and you can only imagine the worst for them. I don't think a lot of blood was needed for this movie anyway. It made up for it with great FX and atmosphere instead. Special FX - 97 / Gore - 92 Pacing - The movie is very fast paced. I actually think it was "too" fast paced. There isn't that much time for character development. Director Victor Salva made a sequel that people would want to see: fast paced, energetic, exciting, and interesting. He hits the mark here, because it is all of the above and many people will be jolted and nervous while watching this film. Pacing - 90 Overall - 91.5/B+ It's a good sequel that deserves credit. I never thought a sequel to a great horror movie could be this good. So, if you are looking for a good, creepy, fun time, take a chance with this film. G. Mike

Summary: Well worth seeing, different style from the 1st one....
Review: First off when a movie gets as many one stars as 5 stars
you know that its made some kind of impact. I wasn't able to
see this at the theater but I did buy it with a gift certificate
and I'm not sorry I did. I thought the first one was really
interesting, well directed with a talented cast. It implied
more horror using "old fashioned" techniques than most directors try to achevie with all their
blood and guts. Lighting and sound make movies, not to mention a built up. You need to take the time to get to know the characters. Shadows can
scare too. I felt the first one was actually like it said, creepy.
This second installment takes things in a different direction,
you see things from another perspective, I think the director
didn't want to repeat himself and instead chose to go around
his possible triolgy with the more than less approach. What starts out
as very bright goes into chaos and darkenss quickly. I think he chose
his teenage characters and their actions for a reason. Hardly
very likeable kids to say the least but they all had typical
issues most kids have. I don't
think you'd find too many intellegent high school kids in a situation like this. The movie as I said was filmed very dark
and most kids(teenagers, young adults) these days need to see blood and gore to entertain themselves for 2 hours or they
get bored to fast. For the 2nd installment of this series, I
think the director showed more than enough of the main character and left you uneasy even though some things were almost funny, whether this was the intention on not?
Hopefully the last installment of this trilogy will blow the other two away, the writers and the director need
to take there time and end it with a great scarey finality and tigh up the loose ends, allow us to leave the movie knowing just what the hell this creature is and why he must feed like
he does and are there anymore of them around? Entertaining for a dark night when your
bored at home for something to do.

Summary: Jeepers Creepers 2 (2003)
Review: Although a lot more fast-paced, this film is not that much of a great sequel. It's satisfactory, but it feels too much like a "Friday the 13th" movie, except on a bus and instead the killer is a gargoyle-like creature. There is minimal story in this film, but it starts out with the death of a young boy in a cornfield, who confronts a scarecrow who (you guessed it), isn't a scarecrow. When a bunch of high school students on their way back from a sports tournament in a neighbouring town. When their bus gets a flat tire that cannot be fixed and nobody can be reached through the CB, the driver, the teachers and the students discover that what happened 23 years ago is going to happen again... "Jeepers Creepers 2" is not a terrible sequel, but it isn't a great one either. It is too similar to a slasher film, whereas the first was very suspenseful and had a story to it. People just sort of get carried off into the sky in this one. I enjoyed this sequel, but I wouldn't say it is one of the best sequels out there. An average horror film.
