Jeepers Creepers 2 (DVD)

In 2003 the second 'Jeepers Creepers' film in the series emerged from the director Victor Salva. Having been quite a fan of the original film I was looking forward to seeing this and it certainly didn't disappoint. It's not as good as the original I feel, still however it's a decent film from Victor Salva and one that I have now watched a number of times. The plot line is predictable, the film doesn't follow on particularly well from the original, ...
...and enjoyable. Set a few days after the original film, 'Jeepers Creepers 2' tells the tale of a high school basketball team returning home after a big Championship game. They become stranded on the East 9 Highway after two wheels of their coach get suddenly punctured; one after the other. As well as the basketball players, cheerleaders and the coaches are also present here and one of the cheerleaders has been having strange dreams. She has dreamt ...

Review of Jeepers Creepers 2 (DVD)

Jeepers Creepers was one of the most successful horror films of recent years. It was never a film that particularly impressed me because I felt that it was two films stitched together (rather clumsily) in the middle. It was inevitable that a sequel would be made though. The first movie took so much money, that a follow-up was really just a license to print money. A few days after the events of the first film, a farmer and his two sons are out tending ...
...to be the case. So Jeepers Creepers 2 is an entirely different film to the first. The second film is a good old-fashioned tale of “hunter and prey.” What this means, of course, is that the teenagers in the film have to be put in a vulnerable position as quickly and as perilously as possible. The adults are quickly removed from the picture, radio communications disabled and any means of escape of defence limited to the rather wobbly old ...

...to the appalling review of Jeepers Creepers 1 - seemed kinda promising, and because, being a bit of a gore whore, I wanted to see some carnage. I got carnage alright, but not in the way that I was hoping. For the sake of curiosity, I'll outline the plot, as much to see myself just how and where this perfectly acceptable franchise idea went so badly wrong, as for your information. This film is set a few days after the gore of the first film, which ...

Ray Wise is good as angry cliched farmer, hell-bent on revenge for his son's death, just about saving his character from the ruts that most of the rest of them fell into. The aforementioned Nicki Lynn Aycox is probably the standout teen thanks to her fitfull ...

Review of Jeepers Creepers 2 (DVD)

...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 ...
...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 ...

...sequel won’t be far behind. Jeepers Creepers was an effective little horror flick with some good scares and a first half that actually worked very well in creeping out its audience. Sadly the film tailed off in the second half once the villain was fully revealed but it was still a fun ride. Now the villain of the film was called The Creeper, a strange demon like figure who would come out of hibernation every 23rd spring and eat for 23 days. With ...

Review of Jeepers Creepers 2 (DVD)

"Jeepers Creepers 2" is one of those films that get worse the more you think about it. I came out of the theatre upon seeing it over a week ago and thought that it was above average at most. I would tell those who asked me my about on it that it was "alright," nothing more, nothing less. Eventually, however, the more people that asked me, the more negative my response would become. Now it's a "skip it" or "wait for it on video." The more I gave thought ...
...I disliked it. I've read various reviews and no one seemed to hit the nail on the head with this one. It's not so much that it's a bad Horror film, it's just that it doesn't hold up at all to the original. Now, don't think that because I said it wasn't a bad Horror film that it makes it good either. It ends up somewhere in the middle between appalling and average as far as the Horror genre goes. But when compared to the original film, this one certainly ...

...there was to be a Jeepers Creepers 2. I would have much preferred if they'd at least given it an interesting name - something like "Heebie Jeebies" or "Wowsing Willies", along those lines would have been nice. Alas, we have been blessed with the generic "2" suffix. Yawn. That's usually a bad sign. It was an auspicious beginning to the evening when the womenfolk decided to rock up late to the cinema, as myself and my mate sat around variously pacing ...

...sequel to (you've guessed it) Jeepers Creepers, it was also directed by Victor Salva who has had a hand in a shit load of crap films. This wasn't too useless, and I preferred it to the original, which had a really bloody annoying tattoo in it (unfortunately we catch a glimpse of the sodding thing in this demon munch fest). The one saving grace is the presence of Jonathan Breck who plays The Creeper (photo of actor below) who in my opinion is worth ...

Jeepers Creepers was one of the worst films I’d seen in a long while, I found it ridiculous. It was one of those films that sticks in your mind because its really really bad. So when someone lent my other half Jeepers Creepers 2 I didn’t have high hopes, in fact I was quite curious to see what a sequel to such a daft film would be like, as I’ve found that generally sequels to films are usually worse than the original. I was pleasantly surprised. ...

A young boy working on his dad’s farm is snatched by the monster as his helpless dad and brother look on. This all fits in with the plot later on. A high school football team are on their way back from a victorious game, when their bus breaks down on a deserted stretch of ...

This film has everything that Jeepers Creepers 1 had and it ties up all the loose ends that were left from the first one. Like Jeepers Creepers there are a lot of bloody, brutal, gorey and unpleasant scenes not for the weak stomachs. PLOT: THE OPENING CREDITS STARTS WITH “Every 23rd spring, for 23 days, it gets to eat... and today is day 22” This scared me already…… The films starts as the Creepers pretends to be a scarecrow in a field, a small ...

Soon enough the Creeper arrives and one by one the victims are picked off whilst those that are left are seemingly powerless to help their friends. Soon the Creeper is not their only problem with a lot of tension and racism on the bus they all start to turn on each other. This horror does start well however does end very stupidly and it does make me think there will be a third someone. ...

Review of Jeepers Creepers 2 (DVD)

The first Jeepers Creepers was for me an exceptionally good horror film from director Victor Salva; it's sequel is also very good, but not as scary as the original. Jeepers Creepers 2 is actually set only a few days after the original, on the last day of the Creepers 23 day feeding frenzy. Apparently the reason for the film being set on the 23rd and last feeding day is so that a Jeepers Creepers 3 couldn't be made, which apparently both Victor Salva ...
...The majority of Jeepers Creepers 2 is set on a high school bus, which makes the potential for really scary sequences much more difficult then in the first film. The plot is as follows; a group of basketball players and coaches become stranded on the East 9 Highway (where the Creeper killed its prey in the first film) after returning from a basketball match, unaware that it is the Creeper who has damaged their bus. As it gets dark, the group of youngsters ...

So with a bus- load of basketball players, their cheerleaders and their coaches, the Creeper is planning to make meals out of them. The Creeper takes a home-made throwing star a dagger like weapon and punctures not one but eventually two tyres, so not going anywhere the creeper starts ...
...I felt disappointed with this film well first of all when a film is set on a bus, there isn’t much to see that is particulary interesting, they bicker whether it will be safer to stay on the bus or whether to get off the bus, whether they should stay at this end of the bus or the other end of the bus. Then there’s a black vs white friction happening on the bus, while a cheerleader suddenly becomes psychic. Also at one part in the film there’s about ...

...lady appears singing something about Jeepers Creepers, they run around a lot, more singing, then the boy has no insides left or something along those lines. I wanted to take this back to Blockbuster and ask them why they put a comedy in the horror section. The "scariest" scene involves the monster lying the road, those arm flaps up suddenly but looks like an umberella. I AM NOT JOKING. The main character is a BROLLY! Gah. Do not watch this movie ...
