Jeepers Creepers 2
Movie Rating:
Woeful |
|
This schlocky horror sequel marks the return of The Creeper (Jonathan Breck),
a winged monster who appears every 23 years to feast on humankind for 23
days. On the final day of his latest feeding frenzy, the creature disables a bus
full of high school students, with the intent of turning the kids into an
all-you-can-eat buffet.
Suspense never builds and there are few actual chills in
this remarkably bland thriller that is undone by lackadaisical pacing, lame
special effects, a mute and colorless monster, and a gaggle of petulant,
unsympathetic teen victims. Only a gleefully over-the-top Ray Wise - as a maniacal
farmer bent on killing the beast - succeeds in injecting life into this woeful
drama.
