Sure, it had quite a disappointing climax and Victor Salva is an infamous figure in Hollywood but his visions did lead to one of the best horror films in the post-Scream era. I recently re-watched the first Jeepers Creepers and I don't really get why so many people seem to hate it. While Jeepers Creepers 2 is never as scary as its predecessor it is a very entertaining sequel. Breck returns as the Creeper and is creepier than ever. Especially good are the relatively unknown young stars Nenninger, Aycox, Schiffner, Brown, Hammond, and Delfino. The cast, headed by veteran actor Ray Wise, is good.
Once again Salva delivers good directorial touches and an entertaining story. There's plenty of action, impressive makeup FX, moments of gruesome humor, and tightening suspense to drive it. 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. 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. Sequel to the terrific 2001 horror film is a wildly fun ride, even if it doesn't quite live up to the chilling original. Reviewed by Nightman85 8 / 10 A very fun sequel!
