Well as summer draws to an end so do the long awaited highly publicised blockbusters. This was probably one of the last cinema visits I would make for the rest of the year and I was hoping for something damn good. Jeepers Creepers 2 to me was one of the most eagerly awaited films of the summer. I’ll be the first to admit that I thought that the first film was an absolute pile of crap but I thought that this would be good for comical value. From the trailer I had no high expectations thinking myself that it was rather cheesy with its slogan “FEED YOUR FEAR” – running through my head was the slogan feed your laughter! Then I thought wait a minute you ought to give this film the benefit of the doubt rather than dissing it before you’ve even seen it. So off we went on the day of release. Being a 15 and a popular looking film I had my bus pass ready for identification as the UCI cinema checks at all big movies. Rather than justifying my age to the ticket man I found myself in a discussion about the film. As I was getting the money ready to pay I heard him mumbling under his breath that the film was crap when his mate turned round and said to me “You’re going to see Jeepers Creepers 2?? It’s a pile oh Sh*te!!” Great I thought to myself I’ve just spent £4.25 to see a pile of sh*te! Then I thought of the ticket man and said to myself “Great way to bloody advertise!!” Then I rejoined my group who were all moaning about being asked their age and off we went into the cinema. We played the usual guess the advert game (We’ve noticed that the adverts are in the same order in every film) and eagerly awaited the film.

~*~The Plot~*~

~*~My Opinion~*~

Another thing that I wasn’t so keen on was the way that the film delved straight into the action, which is probably the reason we didn’t get to know the characters. In the first there was that chilling car chase and roughly 30 minutes of the film was spent creeping us out with the old church and the creepy car where as the sequel opened with a killing.

The acting wasn’t bad and I think that the cast did quite a good job; their fear was quite believable and funny at the same time. Some of the characters did come out with the queerest things when they were scared and it did make me laugh. None of the actors particularly stood out as stealing the show but they none were really focussed on enough individually to do that. I think that the action scenes between the creeper and the kids were much better than the first. The music used in the action scenes was quite good and added great effect to the film.
