Synopsis: Every 23rd spring, for 23 days, it gets to eat… It's day 22. Young Billy Taggart is doing his chores in a sunny cornfield in the late afternoon. He sees something move out of the corner of his... Every 23rd spring, for 23 days, it gets to eat… It's day 22. Young Billy Taggart is doing his chores in a sunny cornfield in the late afternoon. He sees something move out of the corner of his eye. He feels something - something wrong. Then, right in front of his father, the boy is snatched screaming into the sky. No one can help him. The Creeper is back… Meanwhile, returning home from a championship game, a group of varsity basketball players, cheerleaders, and coaches become stranded on the infamous East 9 Highway in Poho County - only it's the cunning Creeper who has actually crippled their bus. After the adults are killed one by one, the students are left alone, trapped on the bus and forced to defend themselves against a supernatural creature who has already decided who it wants to kill - and the kids soon know who among them are targeted. As 23 horrifying days of flesh-eating come to an end, the Creeper has embarked on its final voracious feeding frenzy. As night falls, the terrified group of young athletes must fight their own fears and prejudices and come together in a seemingly hopeless struggle against a winged nightmare hellbent on stockpiling as many victims as it can on the ultimate night of its grizzly, ritual feast. United Artists, in association with Myriad Pictures, presents an American Zoetrope production of Jeepers Creepers 2. Written and directed by Victor Salva, the film stars Ray Wise and Jonathan Breck as the Creeper, in addition to a talented young cast that includes Eric Nenninger, Garikayi Mutambirwa, Nicki Aycox, Diane Delano, Billy Aaron Brown, Marieh Delfino, Thom Gossom, Jr., Lena Cardwell, Al Santos, Kasan Butcher, Tom Tarantini, Travis Schiffner, Josh Hammond, Drew Tyler Bell, Luke Edwards, and Justin Long as Darry Jenner. Produced by Tom Luse and based on characters created by Salva, Jeepers Creepers 2 was executive produced by Francis Ford Coppola, Bobby Rock, Kirk D'Amico, and Lucas Foster, with Philip Von Alvensleben as co-executive producer. The filmmakers include director of photography Don E. FauntLeRoy, production designer Peter Jamison, editor Ed Marx, and composer Bennett Salvay. [More]

It's gory, repetitive, and not terribly interesting.

It's unfair, I suppose, to expect much of this type of film, which only aims to scare. But the fact is you don't get much, not even frightened.

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.

Too many undifferentiated teens in peril undermines this landlocked variation on Lifeboat.

When it stoops to sociological concerns, as it does when the boys and girls on the bus bicker over matters of race and homophobia, Jeepers Creepers 2 simply collapses into incoherence.

Salva may not be doing anything new, but he does it well enough to suggest it won't be 23 more years before the Creeper shows up again.

The first film at least offered some spooky atmosphere and suspense before all the violence began, but this time out we're just given dismemberment, decapitation and a javelin through the head.

For the first 40 minutes or so, while the movie takes place in the daytime, we have a brilliantly filmed version of a typical horror script. Once night descends, the film descends with it.

It can be enjoyed as schlock by horror fans and its targeted teen audience, even though it's rather artfully made, and also appreciated as something more provocative and disturbing by those of us willing to read between its lines.

The whole thing feels underwhelming, particularly compared to the original.

There's nothing in this post-Scream screamer to make you jump or worry about what goes bump in the night.

The new JC is more consistent and efficient than the first, with classier monster effects, but less compellingly weird.

A stark regression from the intelligence of the Scream franchise, this teen horror sequel is about as satisfying as low-budget food that's been under the heat lamps too long.

[The characters] are so banal and bland that we never get a fix on who they are or care when they're dispatched in grisly fashion.
