This film was such a wasted opportunity. At the first hearing of a bunch of kids being stuck on a schoolbus with the creeper just outside the window waiting to feast on them I was thrill. However this feels unfinished!
SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!
Jeepers Creepers 2 starts off well. The opening scene is thrilling and exciting, however it slowly goes downhill from there.Firstly, the deaths and the scares. There are hardly any scares. There are a few moments that make you jump if your the scared type but other than that, that is it. But to cover for that in a horror film we can settle for lots of gore. But JC 2 is very limited for a 15. The worst part is a decapitation and that's it. No more! In a horror film you want scares or gore or even both. JC 2 delivers neither.
Next is the fact that most of the teenagers disappear! When the teenagers leave the bus and run half run away and that's the last we see of them. Did they live? Who knows. At one point a guy asks a girl if she thinks his brother made it. But we haven't seen him in the film and don't know.
The deaths are few and poor. In a horror film you'd like to see fun deaths. The funniest is the decapitation but that's the only high point this film reaches. Out of 25 odd people, 10 we lose during the film, 6 die and the rest survive in the most stupid and lucky ways possible. Out of the six that die by the way, 4 are simply grabbed and taken to the skies by the creeper. Where's the gore? Can we see them eat them?
Another problem I felt in the film was that it strangly turned into a predator typr film where instead of the creeper dominating the whole bunch it's mainly a guy protecting the kids by using sharp poles shot out of a powerful gun. The creeper had no problem last film, so why does he now?
But it's not all bad. The creeper is funny with his multiple transforms by borrowing parts from the humans, and the apperance of the guy from the first one is nice. (Yes I know he's dead but it's just in a dream!)
But overall a poor film. 4/10
Wait till Cabin Fever come sout. It looks great. Any info on it and a release would be nice.

Yeah it did...
He warns the girl in her dream/vision and tells her all about the creeper... it is how the kids find out about what it wants to do.
But it's still crap.

I just went to see it today.
It's a decent attempt at a sequel, in which much effort has been put in to erase the problems of the original, but unfortunately the film creates problems as well.
Virtually every ten minutes most people in the room laughed -for the wrong reasons, of course- and the whole thing got a bit lost towards the end.
As an old fasioned horror movie, which is a reasonable way to spend a Sunday afternoon, Jeepers Creepers 2 is at least enjoyable. Better than I was hoping for from the sequel to one of the silliest horror films to date.
6/10

I would advise maybe renting it once it's out just to see if it's worth adding to the second. Personally I don't think it is.

I was going to buy it, only to match it with the first, obviously won't be now.
But in the trailer you see Darry or Derry, whatever his name is, from the first movie. WHY is he in the second one when he had his skin torn off by The Creeper in the first movie? Was it that girl dreaming it or something?

Yeah the car explosion was the only thing that made me jump...
The first one was naff but not unwatchable... this on the other hand.
The angry father desiring revenge could have been done better.
Crap.
Watch Blackball instead.

I thought the first one was good up until the Creeper grew wings and stuff.
The story seemed to be based around the final scene with the song "jeepers creeper - where'd you get those peepers" could have been much better.

Enjoyed the first one. Second one is the biggest pile of toss I've seen for a fair while. Funny for all the wrong reasons. Made no sense what so ever with barly any continuation form the fisrt one.
The trailer is like an evil version of the Wizard Of Oz, first was a bit of a flop and a sequel cannot be any better.
I saw it last night and thought it was an excellent film but look at this diagram i designed: movie movie movie movie ending ending ending. < < < thats what it should have been but instead it went mor like this.
Movie Movie Movie Movie Movie Movie Ending.
It was so unexplained at the end.
