Profile of Jeepers Creepers 2

Jeepers Creepers 2 can be described as scary, rough, and suspenseful. The plot revolves around deadly creatures, supernatural abilities, and a heroic mission. The main genres are thriller and horror. In terms of style, Jeepers Creepers 2 is gory. In approach, it is fantastical and serious. It is set, at least in part, in the countryside, at a high school, and in a small town. Jeepers Creepers 2 takes place in contemporary times. It is well suited for teens. Note that it involves violent content.

Summary of Jeepers Creepers 2

The prehistoric winged slime ball known as the Creeper is back for seconds in JEEPERS CREEPERS II, on an all-you-can-eat binge before hibernating for another 23 years. His first victim is local farm boy Billy Taggert (Shaun Fleming), whose shocked father Jack (wild-eyed Ray Wise) watches, uncomprehending, as his son disappears amidst violently rustling corn husks. The monomaniacal Taggert scours the surrounding area for clues, but the Creeper (Jonathan Breck) has moved onto its next target: a school bus full of basketball players. As jocks Jake Spencer (John Hammond) and Scott Braddock (Eric Nenninger) torment gay high school journalist Izzy Bohen (Travis Schiffner) and clairvoyant cheerleader Minxie Hayes (Nicki Lynn Aycox), the Creeper watches. When the bus breaks down on East 9 Highway, the Creeper pounces, employing supernatural olfactory powers to sniff out the morsels that suit his rather finicky tastes. Token nerd Bucky (Billy Aaron Brown) gets a radio signal over to Taggert, the bereaving dad who is now hellbent on revenge and is carrying the one weapon that may be a match for the evil Creeper.

Like the original JEEPERS CREEPERS, director Victor Salva's sequel is several cuts above average horror fare. The director has a demonstrated affinity for classic filmmaking and makes frequent references to THE BIRDS, bringing Hitchcock's quiet dread to a no-holds-barred, adrenaline-boosting horror film modeled after the FRIDAY THE 13TH, NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, and SCREAM series.

Critics Reviews

Entertainment Weekly
Writer-director Victor Salva squanders all of his original movie's not-entirely-awfulness and bumbles into the realm of unintentional comedy.
Variety
Substantially better than its predecessor, even while staying strictly within the genre's well-defined boundaries.

Users Reviews

I paid to see Italian Job, walked out because it was horrible and walked into Jeepers 2. It was just starting and I was surprised by the first one and the fact that I sat through it. Something I can't do with any modern horrors. All that said I was...
This movie is not as good as the original but I still loved it. A few scares, excellent cinematography and some laughs too. If you like some action in your horror, you should watch it. Better ending than the first one.
