Jeepers Creepers II

Plot synopsis:
For thousands of years, the creeper has come back to life every 23 years to feast on humans for 23 days. It is now day 22 and with only two days left of feasting, the creeper must find new victims before his time is up. The bat-like creeper has greater strength with his ability to fly. The story begins with the creeper as a scarecrow in a cornfield waiting to snatch the child of Jack Taggart (Ray Wise) who ends up wanting revenge on the creeper after he flies away with his son. This leads to the 23rd and last day of the creeper. A busload of high school basketball players, cheerleaders, and coaches are returning home after a Championship game on East 9 Highway. The creeper throws a spike made from the body parts of other victims and blows out one of the bus tires. As night falls, the creeper swoops down and takes the coaches away, and then he begins to feast on the terrified teenagers. This is the creeper's last night and he loves the smell of fear on his victims. One girl fights back and puts a javelin stick through the creeper's eye and head, but it doesn't kill him. Douglas Young (the-movie-guy)(spoiler alert)The very end, after the sheriff supposedly destroys the Creeper. Then a scene is shown 3 kids visiting a roadside stand advertising the "Bat from Hell" and they're told that the man's dad killed it. They pay their money and see the Creeper mounted on the wall. The Creeper's arm is shown as being sewn back on (he loses it right before he is killed). The sheriff appears as an older man; the kids ask him what he is armed for. He tells them that it's been almost 23 years and he knows that the evil thing will be back to feed again for 23 years. Thus setting us up for Jeepers Creepers 3!! And please remember folks, 23 years isn't a very long time!

Review:
You don't understand this movie if you leave complain about it!OK the story set after the first one Creeper: Stranded on a lonely road, a school bus full of high school basketball players, their coaches, and cheerleaders must defend themselves from the Creeper - a flesh-eating ancient beast that resurfaces on the earth every 23 years to feed.
2 years after the surprising success of "Jeepers Creepers", Victor Salva returns with a sequel that continues where the original left.
Despite having the obvious flaws of a minor sequel, "Jeepers Creepers II" is a worthy follow up that has its own share of tricks to keep the fans happy.The plot of the film follows a school bus of a local high school that just won the championship and are on their way back home.
Having most of the movie set inside of the school bus with the cast's fears and personalities clashing makes a good source for classic suspense and tension between characters.Visually, the film is a step forward and showcases that deep down the obvious commercial intentions of this film, Salva is still an artist that has a great eye for visual compositions.
Breck is quite good as the Creeper and looks more comfortable in the role now; Wise on the other hand, is a scene stealer and he owns the film every time he is on screen."Jeepers Creepers II" has a lot of what's good about modern horror movies, but sadly, it carries also some of the worst.
It is great fun and entertainment, but if scares are what you are looking, better look elsewhere.To summarize, the film is an entertaining and very well-directed scary movie that makes a worthy sequel to the original one.
Victor Salva's second part of the series is a good addition if you liked the first one, otherwise it will be just another teen horror movie.
This sequel takes place a few days after the original (of which the happenings can be heard on radio-broadcasts all the time) and features a bus full of high school jocks and cheerleaders terrorized by the Creeper.
Sequel to the terrific 2001 horror film is a wildly fun ride, even if it doesn't quite live up to the chilling original.On the final evening of his annual feeding, the Creeper terrorizes a bus load of students, while a local farmer is looking for some revenge.While it may lack some of the unique elements of the original film (like the Creeper's truck, the title song, etc.) this sequel is still a highly-energized and occasionally spooky thriller.
JEEPERS CREEPERS II Aspect ratio: 2.39:1 (Panavision)Sound formats: Dolby Digital / DTSStranded in a broken-down bus on a lonely country road, a group of high school jocks and cheerleaders are targeted by the monstrous Creeper (Jonathan Breck) who needs their body parts for the purposes of regeneration.
But the Creeper hasn't reckoned on the tenacity of one of its earlier victims (Ray Wise), a grieving father seeking revenge for the loss of his youngest son...Though crafted with technical precision and performed with gusto by a strong cast of newcomers and veterans, this disappointing sequel sacrifices the heartfelt emotional undertow of its magnificent predecessor JEEPERS CREEPERS (2000) in favor of bigger and splashier set-pieces.
FauntLeRoy conjure a series of startling images from the outset, many of them tinged with visual poetry: The golden cornfield in the opening sequence, where the film's first victim suffers an appalling fate (a genuinely horrific set-piece); the point-of-view shots from the Creeper's perspective as it swoops on fleeing prey; and the eerie calm of the closing sequence, which portends sequels to come.
Salva's regular composer, Bennett Salvay, delivers a terrific symphonic score, as brassy and frightening as any in recent years, which serves to boost the film's dramatic appeal in no uncertain terms.Wise, a late addition to the cast, dominates the film as an avenging farmer who is every bit the Creeper's equal in terms of strength and persistence, and he's given strong support by veterans Diane Delano and Thom Gossom Jr. The younger cast members are enthusiastic and talented, and it's a fair bet that some of them (Travis Schiffner, Al Santos, Nicki Aycox, etc.) will figure heavily in various Hunkiest/Sexiest lists during the next few years.
This one does the trick thanks to some extra good CGI effects and some scary situations in the middle of a deserted countryside where teens find themselves menaced by a winged creature determined to make them his flesh-eating victims.In the only adult role, RAY WISE does a convincing job of making it all look reasonable enough to swallow--and it owes a lot of its punch to the imaginative tales of authors like Stephen King.
It hurts that I enjoy a Woody Allen movie or book, and it hurts when I like the Jeepers Creepers films..
Thought it less than a coincidence that these movies feature a monster/demon that feeds on and mutilates young men ( Victor Salvas type) that in this particular film, they are shirtless, good looking and sun bathing.
Also the feared beast will have to face off an old man (Ray Wise) and his son who will make use a puncher to track down creeper (Jonathan Breck) .In the film there is terror, gore , action, thriller and suspense during all time of lasting film.
More elaborate sequel to the effective monster movie of 2001, "Jeepers Creepers II" is more about action than anything else.
It wasn't a movie that I would tell friends and family to fork over $13 bucks for to see on the big screen, but for a late, rainy Saturday evening, one could do worse.Well, skip ahead two years, and the moderate success of the first installment brought back writer/director, Victor Salva to continue the story of the feeding creature in the crops.
Jeepers Creepers 2 does offer more victims a la every horror sequel and most of the male characters are unbelievable brats that like to get their screen time without their shirts on.
Jeepers Creepers 2 had double the budget as did the first, so it is not surprising that the creature gets more computer generated close-ups or scenes where he flies around picking off his victims at will (Didn't he drive a truck in the first one?).
Remember people the 1st jeepers creepers brought new life to the horror genere but the sequel was totally a huge mistake I love sequels but this was like watching a home video..
The plot is explained by a teenager in distress, people are flat (the best acting comes from the nerdy bill gates wannabe towel boy who practically vomited out his lines, leaving the audience i saw it with in stitches.)The whole audience was laughing at all the right points, making me believe that this was just a send-up, a spoof, of horror movies.
Now we're at 2003's "Jeepers Creepers 2."  The movie works on the level of tension and genuine scares, but sacrifices itself half way through when we learn about how the creature hunts.
(A girl on the bus begins having psychic visions and learns a little about the Creeper from one of the kids who died in the first movie.)  I liked it better when we knew little or nothing about a monster in one of these movies, because that's where the real terror comes from in a horror film.Victor Salva, who wrote and directed both movies knows what he's doing but I just hope that he doesn't screw up his own franchise.
The action now takes place entirely on the road and fields around with youngsters being trapped in the school bus on their way home.The movie has a bigger budget and they used it right - there are much more makeup and special effects than before and they look really great (something of the high quality like Alien series).
while not quite as good as the first one it was still pretty great, not as gory, and actually somewhat funny (in my opinion, maybe I'm weird, lol ) it does follow up on the original pretty good, if you're a fan of part 1 you should watch this one, I am glad I didn't pay for a ticket at the theater but still one of my favorite horror movies.
Obvious thought was put into the way the film's made and some of its more ingenious set pieces - like the Creeper's wing separating the bus in half - so yeah, I pretty much think JEEPERS CREEPERS 2 is incredibly fun and underrated as hell.
"Jeepers Creepers 2" is an unnecessary sequel that just rehashes the plot of Part 1 - this time focusing on a group of teenagers who get stranded on a bus.
The sequel is somewhat fun if your a big fan of the original movie- but ultimately lacks everything that made the first film a winner.With nothing new or exciting about "Jeepers Creepers 2", this can be viewed as an O.K. movie at best..
This sequel never even comes close to having any suspense like that.In this, the Creeper targets a school bus on his last night to feed.
Jeepers Creepers II (2003) for me is not nearly as good of a story as the first film but it has a few scares and lots of campy humor.
Jeepers Creepers II (2003) is not a comedy horror but works well with that genre be cause it's more on the funny side and not on the creepy side.I would have rated this movie a 5.5 but it gets a 7 from me for making me laugh.7/10.
Stranded in the countryside, a group of teens returning from a basketball game find themselves set upon by the vengeful Creeper while a local with a score to settle tries to help them escape from its' clutches.This is a great example of a sequel being better than a good original.
I'm one of those rare people who thinks that this - the sequel to the original 'Jeepers Creepers' is actually better than the first one.
However, here we have a central scenario which lends itself better to the situation.A schoolbus full of teenagers gets stranded (with a little help from the Creeper himself) in the middle of nowhere, now the flying bat out of hell can take his pick of their tender, young, tasty bodies for him to consume and regenerate.However, all is not lost for our prepubescent Creeper-fodder, for a local father (played by the typically brooding and sinister Ray Wise, of Twin Peaks and Dead End fame) lost his young son to the Creeper recently and has sworn to track it down and exact some gruesome revenge (with a little help from a pneumatic harpoon).Although most of the action is centred on the (pretty unlikeable) bus-load of teens, there is plenty of gruesome gore and nastiness as the Creeper picks them off one by one.Personally, I would have preferred Ray Wise to be in it more, as he's clearly the best part of the film, but it's still an enjoyable little horror flick nonetheless..
This is by far one of the worst horror-movies I saw.The first Jeepers Creepers was thrilling, with a lot of horror-effects and scary moments.
Anyway it not all that bad, the movie is pretty entertaining and you will know what happen what happen to the creepers on exact 23 days come to an end.Recommendation: Yes. But if you big fan of first one don't, it might ruin your imagination.Rating: 5/10 (Grade: C-).
Jeepers Creepers 2 finally decides to be a straightforward horror movie and, for the most part, succeeds.Part 2 picks up just a few days after Part 1 ended, opening with a stunningly beautiful scene of a golden cornfield somewhere in the isolated Midwest.
It ends with magnificent horror, as the winged creature takes flight before the horrified eyes of the young boys father and older brother, carrying the young boy away, his awful screams slowly fading even as the Creeper fades to a speck in the sky.Too bad the rest of the film wasn't as superb as the opening.A bus load of football players and a handful of cheerleaders breaks down on a lonely stretch of road in the late afternoon.
The monster in the "Jeepers Creepers" films is the Creeper, some kind of winged demon whose origin goes unexplained (which is good), and for reasons also not explained, gets to come out of hibernation every 23rd Spring for 23 days and eat (people).
This information, along with several other plot factoids, are provided by one of the cheerleaders who suddenly becomes psychic halfway through the movie for no better reason than someone has to fill us in on what's really happening.I don't know if its supposed to be scary, but the Creeper has certain rules.
I didn't like the first JEEPERS CREEPERS movie and I had no intentions of seeing the sequel.
Set a few days after the original, a championship basketball team's bus is attacked by the Creeper, the winged, flesh-eating terror, on the last day of his 23-day feeding frenzy.First of all, this film has one advantage over the first: a strong supporting role for Ray Wise.
If you are into light horror films (meaning not to scary, not to friendly) then Jeepers Creepers is your movie.
The only thing that kinda made me give this a 7 rating was the fact that the story wasn't as attractive more like the first and I believe that there was some moments that would go down in history as "One of the Funniest Horror Films." This is definitely a title you'll keep in your movie collection for a while..
While being a lot less scary, Jeepers Creepers II is a an excellent Slasher.I think the goal of Screenwriter and Director Victor Salva was to pay homage to the classic slashers Freddie and Jason (we see many of their features in the creature here) and to claim the spot left vacant by them.
Like an old fifties/sixties horror film.Jeepers Creepers 2 is far from perfect.
Where it doesn't work so much as a straight horror thriller this time around, what with nothing new to be discovered about the startling "Creeper", returning director/writer Victor Salva ups the ante on the gore and stylized action, resulting in an enjoyable monster movie that doesn't skimp out on the bloodshed audiences would expect from a horror sequel, especially one that has to live up to such a frightening experience as the first film.
Throw a diverse group of students on a cramped school bus that conveniently breaks down in the middle of nowhere, right in Creeper territory, and you've got a typical sequel that may not score points for originality but proves to be a great vehicle for suspense and graphic, shocking imagery.
"jeepers creepers 2" is what jeepers creepers 1 should have been-a good movie.there are plenty of hair raising moments in the movie, and enough action to keep the movie going.the acting was good, for the most part and the look of the "creeper" was well done.jonathan breck was great as the title character.(the creeper)this a case where the sequel far surpasses the original in all respects.whereas the original was lame i.e boring and stupid, with no scares to mention,number two was neither lame, boring or stupid, but a genuinely creepy movie.the original also tended to be downright disgusting at times, where this movie relied more on suspense rather than some lame attempt at shock value.if a movie is well made ,there is no need to gross out the audience.also, this movie will stick with you long after you watch it and for all the right reasons.the only thing that really lingers from the original is how sick it was-and not in a good way.as well,you can easily watch this movie without first subjecting yourself to the original.
Avoiding that really didn't leave a mark for the 2nd film.In any case, the first Creepers movie was made to build a story for a monster movie to remember....Which it still comes up short of a monster movie's greatness (7/10 tops) it at least had story and explained how the creature works.Jeepers Creepers 2 was for the sole purpose of getting a bunch of teens on a bus and having the monster terrorize.....I guess that is cool, but at least follow every aspect of the story to magnify the horror of the film.
The Creeper scenes looked really good and the monster was shown a little personality this time around, which was rather cool to see.
This film is a solid follow-up and another good effort by Victor Salva to his Jeepers Creepers series..
I'm not sure this was completely necessary and it was a little far fetched if you ask me, but I kind of went along with it for the sake of the film.While the original movie had some great action sequences, the ones here are even better.
as sequels go so many relive the same experience as the one  before, this movie  gave more , element of surprise none has delivered a new monster like jeepers creepers did.
The first "Jeepers Creepers" was a good horror film.
Plus is has the benefit of being filmed in widescreen which captures the lonely rural landscape wonderfully.Set a few days after the first, The Creeper (truly a great villain) is still out on his feeding frenzy and this time he's set his sights on a bus full of High School Basketball jocks and cheerleaders.
There was no mystery to the guy, so we know what he looks like, we know what he can do; therefore, we're never really frightened or surprised.So as a horror movie, this one doesn't come close to giving you a good scare.
However, I thoroughly enjoyed Jeepers Creepers II (and I), though I really think the sequel was better than the first film.
Like I said, the film has unneeded moments, such as the character of Minxie learning the origins of the creepers.
Compared to other horror films, especially Jeepers Creepers (which is entertaining)I thought this was a real let down!
