Thoughts: I am really looking forward to this film. The first is one of my all-time favorite horror films. It truly creeped me out, with the wonderful atmosphere, excellent visuals, and spectacular plot. I really enjoyed it, it was very memorable (especially the ending... creepy), and is still a fun flick to watch at night on DVD.

This sequel looks ten times better. I love the idea of the characters having their own escalating stories developing on the bus, inbetween attacks by the Creeper. I truly hope this pays off for the filmmakers, and adds more depth to the players. Also, I love the trailers. They're tense, stylish, and exciting, and the bits of the attack sequences we see are uber-cool.

Overall, I have very high expectations for this film. I fully expect a creepy, tense, and exciting creature feature, and I hope it turns out to be one of the most entertaining films of the year.

A United Artists Pictures Release.

Or "creeper feature." ;)


The first one was enjoyable. I didn't have a problem with the second half like some did. I enjoyed the first half, and enjoyed the second half. I don't really even have a preference, I liked both parts about the same and liked the movie as a whole. The movie wasn't perfect though, I mean, there's no perfect wholes, only perfect parts :D ;) (May joke! If you haven't seen it you'll just think I'm an idiot and won't get it).

Anyway, I own Jeepers Creepers on DVD and have seen the movie a few times. I only watched my DVD once, but I had seen the movie by renting it a few times before that. One of the times I watched it was with my older sister. She was freaking out the whole time. She said after it was over that it was disgusting. I told her they were making another one and she said that she would never watch it. Well, at the beginning of the summer I showed her the trailer to the second one, and she was like "that looks really good. When does it come out?" I told her at the end of August. She had broken her leg and had screws put in it, and said that she should be fine to go by that time and that we should go see it in theaters, and we could have our mom go too, since she also likes horror movies and liked the first. So we will be going next weekend, probably Sunday night, along with my 15 year old nephew, who hasn't even seen the first one yet. He's supposed to come over next week sometime and I'm going to let him watch mine so he can get ready for the sequel. Then, I'm going to try and get them to see Freddy vs. Jason afterwards. I think it would be fun to check out two horror flicks back to back, plus, I'm looking for an excuse to see it again ;).

Jeepers Creepers 2 looks good, but it's really too bad Gina Philips isn't back :(. I was happy when she was supposed to be coming back and it was going to have the story go back and forth between her and someone else hunting the creeper, and then the kids on the bus. I don't really like the idea of ALL new characters. I want my Gina Philips damn it! Also, that part where that one kid says "What, the will be eaten and the won't be eaten!" is so fucking annoying. That kid looks like one that will get on my nerves and I will be hoping gets killed. I'm personally sick of the trailer, which was decent when I first saw it, but has gotten worse with each new time I've seen it and made me think it will be just "good," and that's it. I guess we'll see, but while I think it looks good, I'm not expecting anything special. I think I will end up giving it a 7/10 or B- like I did the first one, but I think I will still like the first better.

I remember seeing the first over at my youngest sister's place (yet she's still older than me) for like the third time. She doesn't care for horror movies, but will watch them, and then bitch about them when someone gets killed and/or when the movies is over. It was hilarious how she reacted after Jeepers Creepers. She was like "take it with you, I don't want that evil brought into my house." I was like "no, you rented it and you are the one that has to take it back." Then she was like "well put it out in the car then until I take it back." And I was like "but then you'll be bringing evil into your car" :D.

Man, is the chick that's supposed to be in a trance in the above picture supposed to look evil? She looks scarier than the creeper, especially if you stare at the picture long enough. Looking at it was starting to creep me out.

Looking at it was starting to creep me out. I think the creeper is holding her and making it look likee shes talking with her friends. ASs for this movie I can't wait!

[Strider]

Not very sure as to what to think about "Jeepers Creepers 2". I didn't care much for the original flick, the second half destroyed, killed, murdered, and annihilated the entire film. I don't know if I'll see this sequel, but I'll probably check it out when it hits the video store shelves.

Strider

[ilovemovies]

Well the trailers don't really make the movie look that great but I saw the first 8 minutes in ifilm.com and it was pretty good. It was good enough that I am now looking forward to this movie.

[XCoRyX]

the first JC wasnt the greatest,a bit of a letdown,but the creeper is a kickass character and monster,and if used right in this one (which looks like he is),he COULD become the next big franchise character in horror...this movie looks awesome & kickass fun.

[badberry]

Uh?

I guess I'm the only one that thought the trailer for this looked very lame and stupid? Oh well.

(I didn't realize the first movie even made any money, so it surprised me that they're even making a sequel)

[sharkstank]

i really enjoyed the first one (7/10) and am lookiing forward to this one. the trailer was fun, and JC2 looks like an old fashioned monster movie.
the only downside is that after Freddy vs Jason, this may seem like shite:D

oh, and no Gina Phillips:(

[dh1989]

Speaking of Freddy Vs. Jason, I truly hope Jeepers Creepers II is really, really freaky, rather than a film made by a filmmaker who knew his story was crap thus he throws on bucket-loads of style, cheesy one-liners, and multiple action set pieces to disguise his film's true, inner-weakness.

[XCoRyX]

im actually hoping it just is fun and deals with the creeper killing off all the kids gruesomely one by one,i'd be cool with that alone...then i might actually,if it is a sucess and good,want to see the possibilities of that supposed western jeepers creepers prequel.

[Horror whore]

I am so there! I try to see as many horror movies in the theater as possible so I'll definitely check this one out. Plus, I liked the original. (7/10)

[Fisting Ackbar]

The first was decent but turned to shit once the Creeper was revealed in it's full glory and they started to talk about it's origins. From what I read, that's exactly what the sequel has: flashing off the Creeper as an action figure and coming with ridiculous explanations about him.

I *might* see it, but I don't have high expectations.

[MadsenOMC]

I liked the first one a lot. Wasn't expecting much and it totally took me by surprise. A really fun ride. I don't have problems with the last half either. I didn't much care for the psychic lady though, and I don't like the sound of the girl in the second one who can see and hear Justin Long's dead character. Other than that, it looks like an action-packed, entertaining sequel.

[Lazy Boy]

The first film surprised me. Within it's first 30 minutes, I was hooked by the awesome, old school horror filmmaking that I was witness too. Sure, it got a little bit conventional when the Creeper was revealed, and I didn't care to learn of its origins. C'mon, Victor Salva, you don't need to explain where it came from, keep it mysterious! I loved the last shot (definitely creepy) and the use of the song "Jeepers Creepers."

As for this one, I don't really know. The whole teenagers trapped in a bus thing could get kinda old and cheesy after a while; let's hope the performances are decent, at least. The strength of the first movie is that the two performances from the kids were solid, at least for the genre, and didn't make me want to gouge out their eyes with a scissor.

Maybe I'll see this one, maybe not. It all depends on whether or not anything else is coming out that looks good (puh-leeze!).

I was talking to my sister on the phone last Sunday, after having seen Freddy vs. Jason last Saturday night. I told her "after seeing Freddy vs. Jason, I'm doubting Jeepers Creepers 2 will be able to be as much fun." I still really doubt it will be as much fun. But that's because the main fun of Freddy vs. Jason was its flaws and cheesiness. I had a great time laughing at, and sometimes with it. It was bad, but bad in a fun guilty pleasure kind of way. Jeepers Creepers 2 doesn't look to be as much cheesy fun, and while it will probably still have things to make fun of (like pretty much any movie), I just don't think it will be the same. But that's why I hope to go see Freddy vs. Jason for a second time after seeing Jeepers Creepers 2, so I can have my fix of laughs. ;)

There's already some things about JC2 that annoy me. Like another character with psychic powers :rolleyes:. She actually reminds me of a character that should be in a Final Destination flick but walked into the wrong movie. And then there's that annoying guy that says "What, the will be eaten and the won't be eaten!" :rolleyes: I can't even remember what else, but I know there's at least something else. Oh well, I'll still be seeing it.

[Sad man]

Looks really bad but I'll see it anyway.

[ZoMBiEPeEpSHoW]

For some strange reason, two scenes in the trailer really made me wanna see this. The kid in the cornfield, and the psychic chick looking up at the sun and all of a sudden The Creeper's wings spread up with a loud WOOSH!!!

And although the first one has a a bad ending, it's not without it's charm.

Oh... By the way, Rob Zombie's song was perfect for that trailer. "Meet The Creeper"

[RickySlade]

I HATED the first one, and I'll most likely HATE the second one. I'll wait till video.

[XCoRyX]

i still think this will do quite fine and well and okay at the box office...

Mike, I hope that your sister's all right by now. And, that anecdote about how your youngest sister reacted to the film. It had me rolling in the aisles. When I saw the first short trailer for JC2 that hardly showcased the Creeper, with just a short glimpse of it spreading its wings, there was a young kid with his mom sitting near me, and he after seeing the trailer said (Mommie, what was that thing?" For some reason I laughed when I heard that. I think that the second film looks even better than the first, with a really cool trailer. I'll be there opening weekend.

[thompsoncory]

The first one scared the living shit out of me. So of course I will be there to see the second as well.

[EDsoulsurvive*]

the first movie scared me shitless, it is one of my favorite movies of all time but i don't exactly want to c this. I think it looks pretty bad. The lead actress is soo annoying in the commercials and the "creeper slayer" subplot looks retarded. If they have a creeper slayer, it should be Gina fucking Phillips.

I'm still gunna be there opening weekend, I'm just not expecting much.

Yep, she's good enough to go to the movies. The only thing is that I hope she is able to get up the steps to the stadium seating alright.

And my other sister is just funny when it comes to horror movies. It was hilarious when I saw Deep Blue Sea with her in the theaters. She started bawling whenever someone would die and would go "I DIDN'T WANT THEM TO DIE!" It was so funny... I was like "you don't see a movie about sharks that kill people and not expect to see people die." And also, she came along when I saw O, and she cried at that too. She was like "I hated that movie! Why'd you make me watch that? It was so stupid." She always does that. She just doesn't like movies without happy endings, or horror movies where people die. I love her, but she's just too funny ;).

EDSoulSurvive...

i dont think i could quite picture gina being the way ray wise is in the trailers with the weapons and such....shes too nice and sweet and laid back....i mean i could see her get a few crazed hits in but nothing too much.

[Ron34]

Cant wait to see it, I liked the first one and this one might be good.

Jeepers Creepers - 8-8.5/10

[sharkstank]

i will se it next weekend. I liked the first one 7/10 and own it on dvd. hopefully this will be a great monster movie. glad to see justin long back, too. but no gina phillips:(
and i agree, after freddy vs jason, this may seem worse than it is.
it could be a 7/10, but thinking about f vs j and it's kick assiness, it would be a 6/10.
hopefully not.
the trailer is kick ass

I wish they would have cut this scene with the Justin Long cameo and Kelly Ripa clone. It will be so damn cheesy and contrived, this will probably annoy me as much as the psychic lady in the first one did. I think this is a shitty idea for a cameo, I could handle a flashback, but this is fucking ridiculous. Another horror movie, another psychic character/someone that has a premonition.

maybe she wouldnt be as nuts as this guy, but she seemed mighty pissed and distrubed at the end of the last one. Basically, I just want to see her come back and kick some Creeper ass.

Maybe if this does well, they'll pull a Dream Warriors on our ass. That'd be soo cool!

[chasingbanky]

Should I watch the first one before I check this one out? The first one seemed kinda blah and this one seems kinda interesting.

I STRONGLY disagree. I think it's a wonderful idea to have Minxie, the main character, have a nightmare where Darry warns her about The Creeper. Unlike the cheesy psychic lady, this could actually be creepy and/or interesting, plus Darry's an awesome character, and I'm glad to see him back for a cameo. Also, Kelly Rippa is the most plain star today, so I wouldn't be suprised if millions looked like her. She has no distinct features.

P.S. I am glad Gina Phillips isn't back. She'd have no purpose to come back, really. She can't be in the dream, because she ***MAJOR SPOILER*** lived. ***END OF MAJOR SPOILERS*** Also, she's just a slightly hard-headed ditz in the first one, and I don't see her character becoming a bad-ass monster hunter. I'd predict she just went into therapy after the first film.

I don't exactly see how her telling her about the Creeper could be creepy. It doesn't seem that scary to me. And I haven't seen anyone else that looked like Kelly Rippa before. The girl in this movie does in "some" of the pictures she's in.

**********JEEPERS CREEPERS SPOILERS**********

I just watched the first movie again today, and I don't see how you could think Gina Philip's character is a ditz. I thought she was actually pretty damn smart, smarter than Justin Long's character. I'm always annoyed during the part where he's looking into the tunnel and he has her hold his feet and then he starts kicking and screaming like a little girl when he sees rats, which causes him to fall, and then he won't stop blaming her for it. I always want to smack him during that part. What a fucking idiot, how the hell was she supposed to keep ahold of him with him flipping out so badly. Then, I definitely give her character credit for running over the creeper a bunch of times instead of just once, which would have been dumb. And he's the one that wanted her to stop doing it and said it was enough. Also, they never would have even been in that mess if he wouldn't have been a moron and wanted to go back and see what was in the tunnel :rolleyes:. He should have listened to her and left. So of the two, it's only fair that he died after getting them into that mess. She definitely had more brains than him.

well i dont know about darry being an awesome character,but as far as your gina phillips deal,i agree with you to the T.

and in my predictions,this shall indeed,take the cake at the number 1 spot...atleast f vs. j is dropping down to fellow horror.

[Ghostface 2000]

i can't wait for this movie, i loved the first one and i have been waiting for a sequel ever since and i think that it could be better than the original.

[Lynn Minmei]

No, I'm not hungry for more. Quite full actually.

[dh1989]

I don't exactly see how her telling her about the Creeper could be creepy.

I couldn't disagree more. Sorry, but a dream featuring a dearly-departed man telling a girl to run out a certain area in a dream set in a lonely field just has tons of creep-out potential.

Also, 'ditz' was the wrong word, but she's still no hard-ass. It'd be too radical for a dedicated college student who cares for her mother to become a hard-ass, "I'll risk my life" hunter of a magical demon. Sorry, just don't see it happening.

P.S. If I were Darry, I'd be pissed too. I mean, sure he caused the fall, but I'd lash out at her too if she was partially responsible for dropping me into a dark pit filled with dead and sown-up corpses and torture-esque machines. And it makes more sense. I'd see most real humans acting like he did, not saying "Gee sis, I was so dumb when jumping because giant rats were close to me, and I caused this fall. Silly, silly me."

[wadew]

that kid darry should've been smacked just for saying "RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRATS!!!!"

[Shockwave]

This movie looks like its going to alot more about action then the last one (which is fine) but one thing im wondering is if this is the last day for him to feed the next one will have to take place 32(?) years in the future or take place in the past...

[chinton]

Wow this film is getting horrible reviews. Most of them are saying its quite boring. I hope its better when I see it Friday night.

I agree with Mike here, I don't think that Darry warning a girl in a dream is scary, at all. As for Ginna Philips, I think she was a very smart character in the first one. She was clever enough to know that she shouldn't go to the old church and that she should run over the monster more than once. Darry was a reall asshole, he was really stupid. Why did he go to the old church? And why did he blame Trish for the fall? He was the one that wanted to look inside the pipe and started to kick his siter. Inside the pipe were millions of corpses, so fuck him, he was the one that wanted to know what was inside the pipe in the first place, so it isn't Trish's fault. At all, that's why I was really glad when **SPOILERS** he was the one that got killer instead of Trish. He was a really annoying character and I don't think that a cameo of him is a good idea. Trish, on the other hand, would be cool. She could want revenge or something, or she could just want to help the highschool kids. **END OF SPOILERS**

Anyway I watched the trailer again today. And red JoBlo's and the Arrow's reviews for Jeepers Creepers 2. And I don't know why but I'm starting to get a little excited about. I have a feeling that is going to be much better than the first one. Maybe because it's going to have more action and more gore, or maybe because we already know what the Creeper is, so we can't be disappointed, like it happened in the first one. We know the Creeper know, and we want to see him in action. Jonathan Breck did an amazing job as the Creeper, he was the best actor in the whole film. I mean, Gina Philips looked nice and wasn't bad, but she's not such a great actress. I found Justin Long annoying and unbelievable, and I just didn't care for him. I wanted him to die since the first moment he was on screen...the whole movie.
I watched the first one again a few days ago, and liked it even less. The movie is fucking good, a modern horror classic, until...you know, that giant chiken appears and ruins the whole movie. What a let down...
JoBlo said that it was a fun horror movie with lots of action, and that he thought that it was a tad better than the first one. Although he said that the ending wasn't as good as the first's.
I will definitely check it out now at the theater now, of course when it's released here. That should be in 3 or 4 weeks from now.

In the meanwhile, I'm gonna listen to that lovely song: "Jeepers Creepers, where did you get those peepers?. Jeepers Creepers, where did you get those eyes?..."

Well,they could always do the rumoured prequel dealing with the creeper in the western age and era days...

and for chinton,whats new?reviewers/critics always bash horror,you ask me,this CANT be boring,looks like nothing but action and gore thrown in a big jar full a movies... whatever that means ;)

I read JoBlo's review, and I've seen the trailers. I first I thought that the idea of making a sequal was gay, but it still sounds promising, especially considering there is little competition out there lately. The opening scene looked totally badass. I'll probably go see it.

[XCoRyX]

JC the movie might have not called for a sequel,but the creeper character SCREAMED for more attention and sequels.

[chinton]

A lot fo the bad reviews I ahve been reading says the movie goes like this:


5 minute intoroduction- The best part of the movie.

an hour and ten minutes of obnoxious characters sitting in the bus

20 minutes of pure action.


This is just what Ive read.

But well see Friday. I have to see it anyway to review it for my college paper

[XCoRyX]

you shouldnt be expecting anything more then mindless fun...

[chinton]

XCoryX

I am expecting at the least mindless fun, but this is pointless Ill get back once Ive seen it Friday night or tonight actually

[DevilMonkey]

Can't, I'm seeing this awsome looking film tomarrow. Should be awsome.

[FeverDog420]

spoiler for "Twin Peaks"

From his (natch) one-star review (bold added):

"Despite Scott's homophobia, the movie has a healthy interest in the male physique, and it's amazing how many of the guys walk around bare-chested. The critic John Fallon writes "at a certain point, I thought I was watching soft gay erotica," and observes that when four of the guys go outside to pee, they line up shoulder to shoulder, which strikes him as unlikely since they are in a very large field. True in another movie, but in a film where the Creeper is likely to swoop down at any second and carry someone away, I would pick the tallest guy and stand next to him, on the theory that lightning will strike the tree and not you."

I hated the first Jeepers Creepers and had no interest in seeing the sequel...until now. Softcore gay erotica? I'm now looking forward to the Showtime Premiere sometime early next summer.

I didn't know Ray Wise was in this. Was he cast to add suspense? He did, after all, kill Laura Palmer...

[XCoRyX]

im seeing this bad boy tonight...

Well, I guess there's no reason for me now to ever watch TWIN PEAKS.

I couldn't disagree more. Sorry, but a dream featuring a dearly-departed man telling a girl to run out a certain area in a dream set in a lonely field just has tons of creep-out potential.

Also, 'ditz' was the wrong word, but she's still no hard-ass. It'd be too radical for a dedicated college student who cares for her mother to become a hard-ass, "I'll risk my life" hunter of a magical demon. Sorry, just don't see it happening.

P.S. If I were Darry, I'd be pissed too. I mean, sure he caused the fall, but I'd lash out at her too if she was partially responsible for dropping me into a dark pit filled with dead and sown-up corpses and torture-esque machines. And it makes more sense. I'd see most real humans acting like he did, not saying "Gee sis, I was so dumb when jumping because giant rats were close to me, and I caused this fall. Silly, silly me."

Sorry, but I just don't see how a dream with a dead character that looks alive in the dream will be very scary. Maybe it could be in a different movie, but this dream takes place in the DAYLIGHT and the person doesn't look dead or anything, he looks like he did when he was alive. I just don't see what could be creepy about that.

And Trish was pretty disturbed and pissed at the end of the first, I think it would be understandable if she were to want revenge. It would have made sense and it's sad to see her gone and replaced with a bunch of characters that look annoying and that you won't care all that much about.

As for the rats thing. How could she be to blame at all? The Hulk couldn't hold on to him the way he was kicking. He didn't need to flip out so bad. It was annoying. He just kept yelling and kicking the shit out of her, how could she be expected to hold on? I couldn't. And I can't believe she actually apoligized to him when he was pissed at her because he fell. I would have been like "Fuck you, it's your own damn fault." There was absolutely nothing she could have done. He had no right to blame her at all.

Also, the character of Trish was more of a hardass than a softie. She had an edge to her, and wasn't some girly girl. So for her to want revenge and to try to kill the creature wouldn't be much of a stretch. She already had some balls, so to speak.

I still think, if executed right, the dream sequence could be creepy. She goes to sleep, is in a lonely cornfield (A perfect place for animal sounds to cause jump scenes), and she feels someone following her. She runs, the figure's still coming, and she eventually turns and sees Darry. Also, from the trailers, I am presuming it's more of a physical sequence, than vocal. I may be wrong, but, if it's the way I guessed it might be, it could be fucking creepy.

P.S. No, Darry is pretty much 99% responsible, BUT he was going through immense physical pain and emotional stress at that moment, and people aren't always their sanest or nicest at times like those. Just my opinion, though...

Feverdog,try using spoiler warnings pal.

Um, the show's a decade old, so everyone's had plenty of time to watch the show if they cared to.

How many Schmoes freely post the identity of the killer in Seven? There's a statute of limitations on spoilers, isn't there? Or should I post a spoiler warning when discussing the identity of Rosebud in Citizen Kane?

Oh, by the way, the chick in The Crying Game has a dick. Oops... :rolleyes:

That makes no difference. Sure, they've had the time to, but some may have recently gained interest in viewing it, and you've spoiled a part of it for them.

And there is no statute of limitations on spoilers. If you're going to give away a plot point, post a ***SPOILER WARNING***, regardless of the film's age, whether it be 3 days or 3 decades.

[ANTBond007]

Well, I saw it. It's like the original's second half, but on steroids. The film drags in parts and you rarely care for anyone. CHUD's SJR said Salva mixed things up and you could never find someone and stick with them -- true, but that's because Victor never gives us an opportunity (personally, I think MGM handed a few websites under the CHUD banner a little cash... but alas).

That said, I enjoyed that the Creeper was given a bit more personality. The scene with him choosing which teens he likes is classic. And a moment in which Ray Wise has the Creeper down and stabs him repeatedly (mentioned in Arrow's review) was actually pretty powerful.

6/10

Oh, please. I didn't see the Star Wars trilogy until they were released again in theatres in '97. I knew for years who Darth Vader was, but did that ruin my enjoyment of the The Empire Strikes Back? (Okay, I didn't care for these movies anyway, but you get my point.)

But if it makes you happy, I'll go back and put a friggin' spoiler warning on my original post.

Edit: And I find it odd and a little rude that my "Twin Peaks" comment got more response than the news that our own Arrow was quoted, and therefore read, by the most famous movie critic on the planet. Where are the props to our man Arrow? There's a whole thread on the Horror boards congratulating him, but nary a kudo here.

**********MILD SPOILERS!*********

Jeepers Creepers 2 - (6/10)

A merely ok followup to a merely ok movie. Jeepers Creeps 2 is filled with some glaring plotholes (can anyone explain what happened to the rest of the team that ran away or can anyone explain how the truck magically is all back together again? And what the hecks up with the mind reading girl?? How does she get her powers lol!) and features next to no gore (if thats why you are going to see it). The first one was much creepier by showing all the people in the basement of the house. All JC2 has is the Creeper constantly trying to eat kids off of a bus. The film does a decent job scaring us which is the most important thing but the dragging parts, lame characters, awkward ending, and plot holes sorta drag the movie down. The overall feel and somewhat scary nature knock the film up a notch but after seeing Freddy Vs Jason the other day I felt very let down.

And one last thing! How come technology never advances ever 23 years???

Of course technology will advance over the course of 23 years, but since this film takes place around 3 or 4 days after the events of the first film, I doubt the technology would be drastically different... :p

*** MAJOR SPOILERS ****

I think It goes this way. The first film took palce 23 years before the sequel (cause he only eats every 23 years) and then the ending takes place 23 more years ahead so overall nothing seems to change in the span of uhh lets see 46 years?

***STILL MAJOR SPOILERS***

I was mistaken, then. We all know the Creeper gets to eat every 23rd Spring for 23 days. I was under the impression that the first film was part of a 23 day period around 2000 and this film covers the creature's final chow-day of that period, and, at the end of this film, he'll go back into hibernation, and wake up 23 years in the future, a.k.a. the flick's ending.

***SPOILERS***

For those who've seen the film, is there a cool final shot, in the same vein as the first film's? Don't tell me what it is, please, but if there is one...

The sequel takes place three days after the original. Then the Creeper hibernates, and the final scenes take place in 2024.

[Shockwave]

Just saw it and i gotta admit i was impressed and dissapointed at the same time, the movie won me over, then lost me, then won me over again near the end!

The beginning kicked total ass with one of the best scenes in this or the first and the "visions" were mighty cool as well but the movie slowed down in the middle BAD and i was almost looking at my watch(not a good sign) although i loved the "selection" scene the creeper has with the kids!

It wasnt till its last 20 minutes that it won be back and the ending cemented it as going on my good list but i gotta admit, its not as good as i had hoped it would be.



*** outta *****


Oh yeah...


*************SPOILERS***************************





















I think the Creeper is kinda like a face hugger creature....when he ripped his own head off his claw main type thing kinda came alive for the new head to rest in, and its tail went down into its spine which would control motor funcion...(sad, i know that i noticed that..):p

Oh ok, not sure why I thought otherwise. The final scene then, 23 years :)

DH! The final scene in this movie isnt like the first at all... thats all Ill say.

[jackson13]

Just saw it. Liked it. Not as much as the first, but liked it. One thing I wish is this: (SPOILERS!) Why havent they still given more background to this 'thing'? All they say is it's thousands of years old, appears every 23 years, for 23 days, and eats people. Umm ok, so is it a demon then? Please, explain a little. Also, where the fuck was the song? Isn't the song supposed to mean he's coming or something? Did we forget this from the first one, which happened mere hours before this movie takes place? Hello??

However, I liked the ending, but not as much as the first. I was waiting for it to wink or move or something, but it just went black. Im guessing there will be yet another sequel, this time set 23 years in the future and maybe lasting the span of 23 days?

Anyway:

Jeepers Creepers 9/10.
Jeepers Creepers 2 7.5/10

[chinton]

Spoilers




7/10


As Salva was writing and directing this film I had to wonder if he really thought this film was scary. I didn't think was the lest bit scary and was suspenseful for about two parts, the nifty opening and the unsettling psychic aka exposition dreams. Its also pretty boring with heavy handed social commentary that became more campy and cheesy with every passing second and lts of annoying characters sitting around.


With all of that you might be wondering how could I give this such a great rating. The reason why is becuase this is one of the funniest, cheesiest movies Ive seen in a long time. I want to believe that Slava intended to go far this campy laugh a minute riot, but I really don't think so. From the ridiculous ending where massive amounts of kids simply dissapear, presumably into plot holes, to where the Creeper is mortally injured and has to hop(!?) to his victim. This is funny stuff.


I give this film a great rating because its just so bad.



P.S. Was anyones elses theater in an uproar during the movie. If you didnt see the film and just heard the audience you would swear that this is best comedy of the year.

age dont matter...spoiling a film i had a bit of interest in does to me.

heres my thoughts on JC2...


****SPOILERS****

I saw this earlier,got home about 90 minutes ago...

I enjoyed it alot...it was pretty mindless and such,and some of the acting was a little bad...a few flaws here and there.For instance,since when does a basketball team ONLY have 3 cheerleaders?

And another big flaw,was the end,they didnt show what came out of half the characters,which I would have loved to seen,hell,2 characters who said no more then 5 words survived,which just made me think what the fuck.

But nonetheless,i DID enjoy it,its not something you go to point out all flaws and such,cause there is a fair share of them,but overall like i said,it was fun,VERY suspenseful and just an overall good night at the movies....my theater was about 2/4's full...and people seemed to enjoy it,the ending seemed to make alot of people angry,as it did to me slightly as well....

Overall though it gets a nice 7.5/10

[dh1989]

http://us.ent4.yimg.com/movies.yahoo.com/images/hv/photo/movie_pix/mgm/jeepers_creepers_2/jonathan_breck/jeepers4.jpg

Plot: "Stranded on a lonely road, a schoolbus full of high school basketball players, coaches, and cheerleaders must defend themselves from attacks by the Creeper - a flesh-eating ancient beast that resurfaces on the earth every 23 years to feed. Meanwhile, a farmer and his son set out on a personal mission to hunt the Creeper down."

Before I begin my review, let me tell you WHY I love the Creeper, the mythical beast from Hell, I presume, who tracks down those he likes the "smell of" to kill them and consume useful body parts they "own" on East 9 highway in a practically deserted country area. He's a mix of the T-850 (The Terminator), Freddy Krueger (A Nightmare on Elm Street), The Incredible Hulk, and Dracula, and is truly scary as hell. He's not on a mission of "revenge." He's not out to kill campers who have sex because he died drowning when the pre-marriage sex loving counsellors were too busy working on each other to save him. He's not even really deranged. He's there to feed, kill, and survive. I consider him a pure, magical animal. If there was an MONSTER ANIMAL KINGDOM, the Creeper'd definitely be the wolf. And, to me, that's scary. If he picks you, he'll be after you. He'll track you, run you down, disable you, and tear you apart. It's animal instinct, so, you better hope you don't have anything he likes...

In the summer of 2001, Victor Salva's low-budget Jeepers Creepers, starring Justin Long and Gina Phillips as two college students riding East 9 on their way back home, when they see a large man driving an evil-looking truck dumping bodies down a drain. They investigate, and become involved in a race of a lifetime, as the monster decides one of them smells nice. The film was an instant success making it's money back in theatres, thus all DVD/VHS sales were gravy, and garnering a sizable cult fan base, who were crying for another chance to dine with the Creeper. They got their wishes. Today, Jeepers Creepers 2 hits theatres nationwide, and the Creeper's back in full-force, and he's VERY, VERY, VERY hungry. Is this film another kick-ass blood-o-rama, or a cheap-o follow-up worthy of an STV release? What follows is my opinion on one of the biggest sequels of the summer...

The cast is fairly good, but a few of the kids on the bus grated on my nerves, mainly the guy who has a close encounter with a wing. This'll sound incredibly dumb, but his mouth annoyed me to no end. His facial expressions were horrid and caused me to burst out laughing. The rest of teens ranged from mediocre to pretty good. None were amazing, but the parts were thin, and they were talented enough to get the job done. Ray Wise, however, was spectacular. Uber-bad-ass. I completely believed his sorrow, anger, and insanity. A truly powerful performance, and I wouldn't be suprised if many Jeepers fans would've enjoyed a film solely about his encounter with the winged beast even more.

Victor Salva writes and directs this film well. The film doesn't call for high-stylization, and Salva, smartly, directs the film very simply, utilizing the creepy setting and kick-ass make-up, rather than tints, Dutch angles, etc. Sure, some of those are used, but not in an over-the-top manner. As for the writing, it's tense, taut, and exciting. Once the ball starts rolling, it doesn't stop until the final BOOM! I could've done without the homosexual and racial conflicts, though. They seemed out of place, but weren't poorly done.

Overall, this was a really great ride. It's scary, exciting, funny, and has an amazing opening sequence. It may have flaws, and it doesn't QUITE reach the heights of the original. Still, this is a worthy sequel, and I can't wait for part III.

8/10

[chinton]

Im curious did anybody else's theater have people laughing all the way through. Honestly I've seen many cheesy bad horror film, but I've never seen an audience laugh so much.



I've been thinking about it some more and this movie just makes me more angry.
It's too bad the conflict of the kids trapped inside the bus could have milked some really good suspense scenes. It seems like such an easy thing, but I guess not. there were only so many ways the Creeper could get in and after the first one suspense gave way to campy, cheesy delights. Defintely, the unscariest horror film i;ve ever seen.

I think i'll drop my score to a 5/10

[HHH123007]

I don't have much to say about it....I got the crappy movie I expected when I walked into the theater.

3/10

BTW, did anyone else think of The Buddy Christ when The Creeper looked at the kids, smiled, and gave them a "gun-like" finger point? I busted out laughing because of it.

[DevilMonkey]

BETTER THEN FREDDY VS. JASON!

http://i.imdb.com/Photos/Ss/0301470/M-011.jpg

This had the second best crowd reaction I have ever seen after Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (which I think will probably never be out done because that was amazing. . . People even had friggin signs in the theater!). We'll let me start off by saying how much I love the first. It is very suspenseful, scary, funny and sad. It's even one of my favorite Horror Films. This may sound crazy but I gave it a 10/10 and I still stand by it. But in this one the creeper has changed but not in a bad way. In the original the creeper seemed more human. Like his truck, dumping the bodies in the thing near the church and not flying every two seconds. He was all a bit scarier in the original because we never really saw what he looked like which to me is creepier. The cast wasn’t as good and it was way more action packed.

The movie itself is still great. I love the great beginning with the kid getting killed. It was very believable if you believe that the creeper is a bat out of hell but you know what I mean the acting was realistic in my opinion. But when the Creeper grabs (Billy I think) he fly’s away. I didn’t like that. Id rather have the Creeper jump up and you can see a dot in that guys eye or something like that because I don’t like a lot of CGI in horror films. Then when we see the bus get the flat tire that was great. I really liked the bus driver she seemed really nice and sweet and cared for the kids but then she gets killed, which IMO was the saddest thing in the whole movie, maybe because I was hoping this sweet old lady was going to survive. Then when all the grown-ups where gone I thought “oh crap here could have been tension and tension can be suspenseful” but they all died. . We’ll too bad. Then when the creeper was picking who he wanted.. . THAT WAS TOTALLY AWSOME! I loved the creeper. I wouldn’t mind him becoming the next Freddy or Michael because he rocks. And another scene I liked was when they where in the car and the creeper was chasing them. But something about that scene bugged me. When Izzy pushed Scottie’s girlfriend out of the car. I wanted to see what happened to her.

"at a certain point, I thought I was watching soft gay erotica," we’ll I can see what arrow meant. With the angle the camera was it looked like one guy was doing something dirty to another guy. I didn’t really care for that scene either because I probably would have pissed in a different direction then those guys. They where all next each other and all but no big deal the movie was still awesome. This is also where Izzy is accused of being gay. I mean come on they talk about that twice I didn’t think they hated him that much. They should have criticized him more instead of barley criticize him because then it felt weird when they only talked about it twice. I didn’t really care for it.

The Acting was pretty swell. Nothing horribly cheesy and nothing great but I really liked the bus driver lady, I wish she could have been in longer. And the guy who plays the creeper is one awesome dude. I’m disappointed the song that went “Jeepers Creepers where’d ya get them peepers?” Was in it. I thought we would here I when we saw the car that was going to go talk to high way patrol for the bus crashed in the tree but we didn’t. Too bad.

Also when I said this got second best crowd reaction I meant a lot. When that nerdy guy with the glasses was about to get taken by the creeper everyone was scared for him. Then when that girl hurt the creeper people started clapping and then when he got free people where clapping louder. This happened a lot like when the creeper finally went into hibernation. Oh we’ll I guess your wondering my rating?

9/10 :) - I loved this film ;).

[MadsenOMC]

SPOILERS

Well I seem to be in the minority on a horror movie again. First Freddy vs. Jason and now this. I sat down with my chewy sweettarts, turned my brain off (very important for this movie) and prepared to enjoy it. Beginning was OK. Fairly effective and creepy. But as soon as the Creeper flies I was taken out of the action and laughing. This was the first time of many that happened. And the movie is all downhill from the opening and it never recovers. I can't believe how bored I was. The body count is shockingly low considering how many people were on the bus. I really expected more people to buy the farm. Was hoping, anyway. And talk about a movie with no gore. One kid loses his head and the Creeper regrows his. And that's pretty much all we get. What a letdown. Double the budget this time around and it's all spent on the horrible Creeper flying effects. The characters here are just as bad as in F vs. J. So is the dialogue. As bad as it gets. In the first one, which I loved by the way, I really thought they acted like brother and sister. I have two sisters and I bought that these two could be siblings. But in this one, no one acts like anyone I know of that age. Or talks like anyone I know. They're all morons though, without a doubt. I'd have to say the worst acting belongs to Scotty and the dude he kept fighting with. Talk about shamelessly overacting. I was laughing every time they're on screen together. Admittedly, it's not all bad. Ray Wise is fine but not in the movie enough. His old age makeup is atrocious though. A couple action scenes are fun and very well-executed. But overall, this is a massive bore. One of the most boring movies of the year. The second half especially. It really drags. Too much of these idiots running their mouths and acting like idiots. Not impressed with the special effects either, considering the bigger budget. When the Creeper is shown against the moon it is terrible. The flying effects are terrible. The CGI is pretty bad. The old age makeup is horrible. Since I loved the first one, I had fairly high expectations. But this is lazy filmmaking. I don't care about all the plot holes. Easily ignored in this type of movie. But where are the scares? Seriously, is one second of this movie scary? Maybe at a certain point you see too many horror movies, because this movie is not scary at all. Not once. No suspense either. A totally blown situation. Almost everyone you expect to get killed, does get killed. One of the biggest disappointments of the year for me. The one creepy thing about this movie? Salva's fixation with topless teenage boys.

Don't worry you are not the only one in the camp of not liking this film. Same thing happened to me on both House of a Thousand Corpses and 28 Days Later, both of which I hated. i guess Im just not in the groove.

Well I seem to be in the minority on a horror movie again. First Freddy vs. Jason and now this. I sat down with my chewy sweettarts, turned my brain off (very important for this movie) and prepared to enjoy it. Beginning was OK. Fairly effective and creepy. But as soon as the Creeper flies I was taken out of the action and laughing. This was the first time of many that happened. And the movie is all downhill from the opening and it never recovers. I can't believe how bored I was. The body count is shockingly low considering how many people were on the bus. I really expected more people to buy the farm. Was hoping, anyway. And talk about a movie with no gore. One kid loses his head and the Creeper regrows his. And that's pretty much all we get. What a letdown. Double the budget this time around and it's all spent on the horrible Creeper flying effects. The characters here are just as bad as in F vs. J. So is the dialogue. As bad as it gets. In the first one, which I loved by the way, I really thought they acted like brother and sister. I have two sisters and I bought that these two could be siblings. But in this one, no one acts like anyone I know of that age. Or talks like anyone I know. They're all morons though, without a doubt. I'd have to say the worst acting belongs to Scotty and the dude he kept fighting with. Talk about shamelessly overacting. I was laughing every time they're on screen together. Admittedly, it's not all bad. Ray Wise is fine but not in the movie enough. His old age makeup is atrocious though. A couple action scenes are fun and very well-executed. But overall, this is a massive bore. One of the most boring movies of the year. The second half especially. It really drags. Too much of these idiots running their mouths and acting like idiots. Not impressed with the special effects either, considering the bigger budget. When the Creeper is shown against the moon it is terrible. The flying effects are terrible. The CGI is pretty bad. The old age makeup is horrible. Since I loved the first one, I had fairly high expectations. But this is lazy filmmaking. I don't care about all the plot holes. Easily ignored in this type of movie. But where are the scares? Seriously, is one second of this movie scary? Maybe at a certain point you see too many horror movies, because this movie is not scary at all. Not once. No suspense either. A totally blown situation. Almost everyone you expect to get killed, does get killed. One of the biggest disappointments of the year for me. The one creepy thing about this movie? Salva's fixation with topless teenage boys.



Basically what he said. The CGI was horrible and I thought this one was going to be as good as the first one or better. What I did like was the ending and the ending was better than the first.

Jeepers Creepers - 8.5/10
Jeepers Creepers 2 - 7/10

[Freeway]

I just got back from seeing JC2. What a disappointment. The film wasn't terrible really, just kind of blah. Madsen is right about there being very little that is scary in the film. Except for the fact that Victor Salva is obviously a creepy homosexual pervert, or at least it seemed that way with all the male characters walking around with their shirts off for no damn reason. How Salva isn't locked up for child molestation is beyond me. The first movie was good because it is impossible to tell that the director has a fetish of any kind but in the sequel it is made very clear. Plus, the original was much scarier than this film, which features a terrible ending that is incredibly flat along with B-grade acting.

You obviously don't know about the infamous Clownhouse incident in which he videotaped himself molesting a 12 year old boy. That is well documented and lead to Powder, a Disney film that he directed being widely boycotted and the film thus failed at the box office as a result. So, my statement isn't really off base because he is homosexual and a pervert who was convicted for that incident and presumely spent time in jail. He and Roman Polanski should ban together.

Freeway's actually right here. Never mind the sexual orientation, Salva, in my eyes, is a pervert, just like Polanski. Except Polanski had to leave the country, while Salva's allowed to stay and keep making movies.

But we do have to make separations between a person's work and personal problems, I think.

[wadew]

Actually polanski ran on his own. No one forced him to leave.

[XCoRyX]

Nate your right on not needing to put personal life and the film itself combined....but if thats your thing,its your thing...

where your wrong however,is saying polanski HAD to flee the country,he did indeed do it all on his own,and he knew he was getting himself in trouble when he started what he started.

[Nate6]

I know Polanski didn't have to flee the country...I'm saying that he did to avoid spending years in prison while Salva is a free man.

What, do you think I've been living under a rock? ;)

[Tha Messenger]

Now i still thought this movie was scary it made me jump and the way the creeper flys and gets people adds more suspense. I really thought this film was freekey and throughly enjoyed it, this film fuckin rocked.

[ZoMBiEPeEpSHoW]

Um... sorry to sound dumb-founded here, but are we talking about Roman Polanski? If so... what happened?

[thompsoncory]

I will either be seeing this tomorrow, Tuesday or next weekend. Tuesday is my last day off from summer break so hopefully I will see it before then. I am really dying to see it now, it looks really scary.

[sbmpx1]

I just got back from seeing "Jeepers Creepers 2" and i must say that i was pleasantly surprised by it. I tend to see every movie that comes out and this was just next on the list, i didnt go in with high expectations but i thought it was pretty good. Now that i have said that, the real reason i am writing today is to ask a question. I remember when the first one came out there was quite a bit of uproar about the director, Victor Salva, and his murky past. From what i remember i had heard he was a convicted pedohpile who either served his time or was released. Is this true? I could see how it would be because it seemed like there were always shirtless guys in this movie. they were either peeing with no shirts on, sunbathing without shirts, or just hanging around without shirts on. I know that this may be a coincidence but still an interesting directing choice. So am i right, is this true of him or am i just remembering something false???

It's true. Filmmaker Victor Salva videotaped himself having sexual relations with a minor on the set of the low-budget thriller Clownhouse and was later tried and convicted for said crime, and spent several years in prison. After being released, he made Powder, a drama about an Albino teenager with magical powers, starring Jeff Goldblum, that made little money and was ridiculed in the press for being a film directed by a pedophile.

I don't remember the same amount of uproar for Jeepers Creepers, but, yes, Salva did direct both JC films, and, yes, he's a convicted pedophile.

Now, he hasn't mentioned this in a public interview, but it is popular belief on the Net that Salva has crafted many scenes involving shirtless young males for Jeepers Creepers II to please himself, since he is a homosexual or, possibly, a bisexual.

[Horror whore]

Just got back. It was very disappointing compared to the first one, which was much creepier. There weren't enough deaths (what the hell happened to half of the bus? at one point there were 5-6 guys on top of the bus, and at least 6 out in the field pissing, plus the three girls....) Anyway, the guys constantly being shirtless was hilarious, but it's about time us girls get some eye candy instead of the guys... Overall, the movie was pretty boring, not scary, and just plain stupid at parts, but there were some pretty cool action sequences...

C+

(Go see F vs. J again instead!)

[The Delfonics]

Hmm everyone talking about the young men in JC2... has anyone seen Nightmare on Elm Street 2? MY god this movies was probably to salva's pleasing.

Lets see we get:
-Young men playing baseball in short shorts
-One man pulls another mans pants down, we get a good shot of his ass, then the man starts wrestling with him after he pulls down his pants
-The young boy lead dances to 80's pop and there is a closeup shot of him pushing in his drawer with his butt in a hump like motion
-One of the kills shows the coach get stripped naked, tried up in the showers and then magic towels begin to whip his butt not once not twice, but three times with ass shot closeups.
-No real female nudity that I recall

[sleekproductions]

Two weeks ago, Freddy vs. Jason was released into theatres. This was a film that took two classic horror villians, and updated them into a gory, modernized version of their classic selves. While this film had very little artistic merit whatsoever, it was an extremely fun film, and a great classic match up of the two horror villians. Now, just two weeks later, another "R" rated horror film has been released into theatres. This time, however, it is not a modernization of classic horror films, nor a modern horror film in itself. Like its predecessor, Jeepers Creepers 2 is a classic, old-fashioned horror film. A scary, suspenseful, artistic, and ultimately fun film that proves that there is still hope for the horror genre. No, it is not a "great" film by any means. And no, it is not oscar worthy in any respect. But it is an excellent horror film. Something that nowadays is extremely hard to do.

All of the cast members in the film turn in, at the very best, decent performances. There are a few laugh out loud funny lines, but that is created by the situations, not the acting. The high school students play typical high school students. Nobody does anything extraordinary, while a few do stand out. On the other hand, there is one actor who really shines in this film: Ray Wise. He turns in an excellent, awesome, classic horror film performance. I suppose you could call him the "creeper hunter," and he is great at what he does. His emotion comes through, but he is also extremely kick ass.

This brings me to my next point. The creeper itself, as played by Mr. Jonathan Breck. Jonathan Breck turns in a solid performance as the creeper. You never really see "him" but he is awesome in this role. The creeper, as a character, has really developed from the first film. He is no longer the centerpiece of the film. He as come back as more of a Freddy Krueger character, however, he is far more interesting. He is the perfect personification of evil. He smells what he wants in people, and he gets it, as weird as that may sound. He holds no mercy for anybody, he has no sentimental side, and he is not doing his tasks for any type of religious, or personal reasons. He is evil in its purest film, and that, to me, is truly awesome.

Victor Salva is the man responsible for this film. By now, we have all heard of his sketchy past, but that does not bother me, and it should not bother anybody else either. If Roman Polanski can win an oscar, than Victor Salva should not be spitted upon for his films. Mr. Salva directs the film extremely film. It is not just a run of the mill horror film. It is an extremely artistic one. One that is shot extremely well (the angels and color palattes are terrific), one that is setup and put together extremely well, and one that features awesome action sequences. From each creeper attack, to the excellent finale, and to the lighter character moments, Mr. Salva gives it his all.

Two other things that I would like to mention are the score and the makeup. The score is creepy, bombastic, and moody. It fits the film very well. The makeup, is also extremely well done. The creeper is horrifying to look at, thanks entirely to the makeup. Kudos goes to this crew as well.

In the end, this really just is a "creature feature." However, it is one that is better than most. It is artistic, well put together, old-fashioned, and simply an extremely entertaining film. It won't win any awards folks, but its a damn good ride.

He screwed a 13 year old in 1977 and fled the country to France so he wouldn't get convicted. Hasn't come back to the US since.

Well, thanks a lot for bringing back memories of that horrible movie.

[XCoRyX]

if you go to the horror boards,you'll see many say the same shit about NOES 2 like clownhouse.

[chinton]

Maybe Im just getting desesitized or something. It seems that a lot of the films around here everybody thinks is scary, House of 1000 Corpses 28 Dyas Later and this, I found so boring. Ive never been so unsacred at a film like I was at JC2. Hopefully TCM will actually bring scares back into the theater.

Maybe Ill never get scared again. Ahhhhhhhhhh. Lol

I agree with you that Salva and Polanski are perverts....but I disagree that we have to make seperations. If someone is a convicted child molester (ie. these 2) then I'm certainly not going to forgive them simply for making a good movie. Thus, I'm very disappointed that Polanski won that oscar and I will not being going to see JC2 (not that I really care to anyways).

So you're going to deprive yourself of a good movie because the director is a sex offender (never mind that JC2 probably isn't a good movie)? I see going to movies as entertainment, not as a time to pass judgement on its makers...

[Skysaber]

The Ninth Gate is still one of my favorite films, regardless of what the director did in his past. In all honesty, the same could be said about that new young girl group, t.A.T.u. You know, the ones that are supposed to act like their lesbians on stage? Anyways, their producer admitted on Russian radio that he had engaged in sexual intercourse a few times with the, at that time, fourteen year old Julia (the black-haired one). This doesn't prevent people from downloading their music, or buying their CD's, even though these girls are told to do things on stage that are homosexual and the CD you're buying was produced by a guy who enjoys sex with children, too, then brags about it. To not see a movie because of the directors past is your choice, but I think if you knew what some of the others actors have done in their young days you'd never watch TV again. Just my opinion.

Believe me,I havent been scared by a horro/scary movie in DAMN Long...but I still enjoy them.

And as for the molester thing once again,if they didn't do it to me,or a friend/family member,why should I let it bother me...might sound like a dick,but hey.

And yet, they also have lives that they have to continue. If you steal a Candybar from a convenient store and get cought, should be be labeled "thief" by everyone on the planet? Have people boycotting the company you work for?

im with antbond on this one..sure molesting and such is worse then stealing but..

That's not even close to the same thing. Child molesters are among the lowest of the low in my opinion.....

Also to clarify, I'm not saying one should deprive themselves of films because of directors pasts or whatever....but I do feel hesitant to support people like that and would rather wait to rent it or download it etc. I'm not super moralistic or anything like that (far from it) but I keep hearing people say that art and personal lives are seperate, but in my opinion, they're not. The old saying is true: don't do the crime if you can't do the time. You should have to accept the consequences of your choices. I actually have more of a problem with Polanski than Salva, as Salva actually served time in prison as I understand it, whereas Polanski fled the country and continued to make films, never facing the music at all.

And I noticed someone brought up TATU, and I totally agree....I have a few problems with that band as well. I complained on the Music boards a while back, but nobody seemed to really care all that much, which is too bad. I also got into an argument with some guy who said that you shouldn't care if a band has racist messages as long as you "enjoy the music".

Oh well. I don't really care if people choose to see JC2 (their loss anyways ;) ), but thats my opinion on it.

i saw this on labor day and thought it was ok. nothing great, just ok. cant write review, too busy.

as for polanski, yes what he did was wrong (same for salva) but if you had your golden ticket to not serving time for something YOU did,wouldn't you take that ticket?

And if you wait to rent the film,your still giving it cash,thus supporting it.

[Duke Nukem]

As a horror fan, I enjoyed this movie as a fun monster movie. The characters were decently developed, there was some really good direction (like the opening scene with its use of silence), there was good action, and the creeper makes a great horror icon.

I also liked how movie end, because...WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD!






















...whereas in most horror films, the killers come back to life for a last minute shock, here, it ends differently with the Creeper actually dead/unconscious (at least until the 23 years is up), and doesn't go for a final and cheap "shock". Too many movies do that these days.



























END OF SPOILERS!

[Mike]

I could care less about what Salva did in his past and if the movie looks good, I see it. It's not like the movie is about what he did. So just because he made the movie doesn't mean I'm going to boycott it. I must admit though, it would be funny in a wicked way if he made a kids/family movie ;) :p.

I actually find watching a Larry Clark movie to be a more icky/sleazy experience. They make me feel like I need to take a shower and cleanse myself afterwards. I'd take a Victor Salva movie over a Larry Clark movie any day.

Anyway, the same can be said for buying products from companies that test their products on animals, often torturously killing them. Hell, it seems almost impossible not to buy from most at one time or another, since most of the big ones do it. I don't like buying from them, and try not to, but sometimes I have no choice but to buy something of theirs. Like if you are in a jam and need a product right away, and you are on the road or on vacation and stop at a gas station, and you see they only have the thing you need in a brand that tests on animals, well, you really don't have much of a choice here. It sucks, but you can't help it.

In most cases, I do seperate a movie from a person/people that has/have something to do with it. Hell, even if a movie stars an actor I hate, if it looks good, I still see it. However, if it looks bad and it stars an actor I hate, then it just gives me more of a reason to avoid it. But it would never be my reason to avoid it entirely. If it looks good, I see it, it's as simple as that for me.


Anyway, I saw Jeepers Creepers 2 on Sunday night but I've been too busy (and sometimes too lazy ;)) to write a review. I'd give it a 7/10 (B) though. And I think most are liking it better than the first. All I heard walking out of the theater was people saying "it was better than the first one."

Jeepers Creepers II **1/2 Fun Cookie Cutter Monster Movie
Following the surprising success of the original film, Jeepers Creepers II works on most levels as a monster movie, but fails in what makes a horror movie a home run. Occurring a few days after the events after the first, we meet (sort of) a bus with a high school basketball team coming back from a championship game. When one of their tires implodes (thanks to some odd Creeper ninja star) the kids and four adults are stranded on the Creeper's highway. As the Creeper (Johnathan Breck) prepares to make them dinner, an embittered father (Ray Wise) is seeking the Creeper with his eldest son after losing his youngest son to the Creeper the day before. So all this leads up to the Creeper trying to get to the kids on the bus as Jack attempts to avenge his son's murder. The movie wastes zero time in reintroducing us to the Creeper, starting off with an atmospheric and tense opening sequence, showcasing the monster's talents and introducing us to Jack. Then we are put on the high schoolers bus and we know then what we know at the end of the movie about them. We learn nothing about them, as I can only remember maybe three of the twenty names on the bus. The film also throws out some out of place and useless arguments involving the teens, which include homophobia and racism. Some of the minor overlooks (three cheerleaders?) can be overlooked, but one odd aspect of the film was it's fixation with the male physique. I have seriously never seen a horror movie with so many shirtless male teens. Some scenes also seem so odd that I started laughing. When they are peeing shoulder to shoulder and “cock the walk” saying. What is that? Another qualm is that after some chase sequences, many of the teens simply dissapear with no explanation. We are left to speculate. Anyway, the movie moves along briskly although it does have some down time that drags on a bit while some of the inane dialogue is being uttered. The Creeper looks bad ass here, as every time he runs, shoots, swoops or flies it looks spectacular. The kills are exciting and gory, and some are surprising. The humor was mostly low key, but on here. Every time the teens were bewildered or horrified it looked comedic. I especially enjoyed the Creeper torturing them by picking which one's he likes while being upside down on the outside of the bus. Ray Wise is sporadically used but effectively as he is cool as the father. Loved his killing scene. And I loved the ending, as I didn't expect it to do what I was thinking. Jeepers Creepers II does succeed in being a monster movie, with a cool villain, some gory kills, Ray Wise, and enough teen males for the Creeper to do things too. While it doesn't even come close to matching match the first, it is still enjoyable and sets up a third.
