The Creeper is back, and he's brought his appetite with him in director Victor Salva's sequel to his popular 2001 sleeper. Stranded on the dreaded East 9 Highway while returning home from winning the championship game, a group of basketball players, cheerleaders, and coaches quickly realize that there's more to fear than a broken down bus when The Creeper descends mercilessly upon them. As his 23-day feeding frenzy draws to a close, The Creeper needs the sort of nourishment only a vital group of

Salva squanders all of his original movie's not-entirely- awfulness and bumbles into the realm of unintentional comedy.
Many unanswered questions of JC2 -- the '23' theme, why no one in Poho County, save one, can seem to find a broken-down school bus.
I think there's a reason they're a no name cast. There's not really anybody that's really very identifiable, or very good in their roles.
It's gory, repetitive, and not terribly interesting.
Functional but tiresome.
Few things are scarier than a sequel to a bad movie, but, in fact, Jeepers Creepers 2 is substantially better than its predecessor, even while staying strictly within the genre's well-defined boundaries.
If it's less successful than the first one, that is not the same as saying that it's a failure.
I was disappointed that it failed to live up to its first film...
... an impressive second entry, and proof perfect that Salva may become a legendary horror film director.
The nameless monster is akin to an unintentionally funny hybrid of Batman and a blowfish.
It's the kind of insanity that we enjoy watching with our friends, trying to figure out whether or not the director knew what he was doing.
Avoids many of the pitfalls of the original by setting low goals and aiming for wholly generic, monster-horror mediocrity.
Horror fans should get some enjoyment from this disc.
Makes me want to go back and watch the original to see which I like best, but this is one of the best movies I'd seen in awhile...the creature is awesome. There is one of the deleted scenes I wish would've been included though, and probably would've made this a 5-star movie in my book.

Much better than I expected. Not good by any means, but I enjoyed it and genuinely wanted to see what happened at the end. Okay if you have nothing else to do.
