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 ... read more read more...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 young athletes can provide, and to survive the night, the terrified teens will have to fight to their dying breaths. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    Worse than its predecessor, this one has only one unintentionally funny sequence that's the least watchable. For the rest, it's a mighty sucker. With a generous heart, I give it 0.05/5.

    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... read more 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.

    Way out on an anonymous highway an anonymous busload of teens make pretty bland repast for a pretty cool creature. I imagined the creature on the set between shots, cellphone in paw, firing its agent and then negotiating for a better script, better director, and a better cast ..... read more. next time. And ice cold Fiji in its changing van while we're at it.

    Blah. The first one was decent. The sequel...not so much.

    much more entertaining than i expected and actually possesses a bit of originality, nothing great but a decent watch.

    Jeepers Creepers 2 is a mixed bag, and is not an impressive follow up to Jeepers Creepers. The film navigates similar waters, but the story now surrounds a group of high school football players being hunted down by The Creeper. Considering the solid original, this sequel is a bit... read more of a let down, considering how terrifying the first one was. The cast that adorns this film are not that great and borderline mediocre. Also a lot of the charactersaren't likeable, and you end up feeling good when they get knocked off. The scares were minimal and they felt recycled this time around. Still, the sequel is good enough to entertain, but unfortunately the overall finished product is barely average, the first film was better. The thing with this feel tried too hard to top the first film. Unfortunately, this film falls short. As the first film was taut, terrifying and original, thissequel ventures into similar territory, but doesn't try to do anything too original. Jeepers Creepers is a less solid film, but still manages to entertain and scare you afew times. But the first one will always be the best of the two.

    I wouldn't say that this was boring. It does have the same creepiness like the first one. The first scene where the young boy was taken by the creeper was good (and that made me think that I'm going to enjoy the whole movie... but I guess I was wrong). And after that, it gets stu... read morepid. The story is good but not mind blowing. It seemed a bit messed up. Somehow, I liked the first one than this. I heard that there is going to be a 3rd part of this movie. Lets hope for the best.

    I haven't yet been able to say that I have seen the first one, and quite frankly, I could care less. This was an average over the top, unscary horror film. I could only scare kids, but they shouldn't even be watching it anyways. It has some pretty interesting kills which the only... read more part that holds it together.

    I enjoyed the first movie, but this is actually pretty great. The creeper is a lot better than ever, there's more action and awesome special effects. In the first movie, all he ever did was drive a truck, but in this one, he flies. Awesome. This really saves up the film to be rea... read morelly satisfying. Also I heard there will be a "Jeepers Creepers 3" that I'm really looking forward to see. Overall, One of the best horror movie sequels ever made.

Scott Brown, Entertainment Weekly

Salva squanders all of his original movie's not-entirely- awfulness and bumbles into the realm of unintentional comedy. Full Review

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. Full Review

Richard Roeper

Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

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. Full Review

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

Functional but tiresome. Full Review

Andy Klein, Variety

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. Full Review

Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star

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. Full Review

Mick LaSalle

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

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. Full Review

Joe Baltake

Joe Baltake, Sacramento Bee

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 will... Full Review

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