Scott Brown Entertainment Weekly (Top Critic)

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

You don't have to be a horror-movie scholar to know that nothing significant is going to happen in any movie with '2' in the title.

The performances are what one might expect. Wide, bugged-out eyes and open mouths are the standard acting choices. But worse, this movie manages to be boring.

Functional but tiresome.

Like its predecessor, Jeepers Creepers is suspenseful as long as you don't have to look its Creeper in the eye.

Greg Milner Village Voice (Top Critic)

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.

JC2 lacks the all-important character development we got in the first installment.

Like Freddy vs. Jason, it's just another boogeyman movie, but being only a first sequel, its gore lore still smells fresh.

A limp sequel.

Jeepers Creepers 2 supplies us with a first-class creature, a fourth-rate story, and dialogue possibly created by feeding the screenplay into a pasta maker.

Horror movies don't have to make sense in the real world, but when you have to help their internal logic along this much, it's pretty much a cue for heckling -- or checking your watch.

An unsatisfying mix.

Larger in scope but looser in construction than the first, Jeepers Creepers 2 will satisfy undemanding genre fans but leave those in search of an intelligent guilty pleasure feeling shortchanged.

Salva is unable to sustain the concept, and the movie feels tedious rather than claustrophobic.

Andy Klein Variety (Top Critic)

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.

There are a few good jolts -- and a moderate amount of spurting blood -- but things pretty much proceed exactly as you think they will.

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

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.

James Berardinelli ReelViews (Top Critic)

It's gory, repetitive, and not terribly interesting.
Full Review » 9 years ago
Michael Rechtshaffen Hollywood Reporter (Top Critic)

It looks great and the special effects are decent, but its scare tactics leave a lot to be desired.

If it's less successful than the first one, that is not the same as saying that it's a failure.

I was disappointed that it failed to live up to its first film...

... an impressive second entry, and proof perfect that Salva may become a legendary horror film director.
