Jeepers Sleepers 2 is a sleeper

Every 23rd spring, for 23 days, it gets to eat." The Creeper (Jonathan Breck) is back, and it's only been a few days since the first movie left off. \nJeepers Creepers 2 is the tale of a school bus full of egotistical basketball players and cigarette-smoking cheerleaders that spend a day and night in a broken-down bus watching teammate after teammate get consumed by the gruesome Creeper. \nOne scene involves a chase through a cornfield where a wounded Creeper repeatedly tries to fly but gets only a few feet off the ground before dramatically falling to the soil below. It's hysterical, and each attempt the Creeper makes the viewers laugh even more. Too bad the intentions were clearly not to leave the viewers chuckling at the ridiculously non-scary movie.\nIt's sad to say Jeepers Creepers 2 could put a four-year-old to sleep and keep everyone else laughing at scenes that aren't even intended to be funny.\nMany said the first in the Jeepers Creepers series wasn't a good horror movie. But if you look at the horror classics like Halloween, Children of the Corn and IT, they are just as unbelievable and crazy as Jeepers Creepers. \nWhen the world first got a glimpse of the Creeper in the first movie, it was pretty scary. No one knew what to expect, and in the tradition of real horror movies, it had suspense, climatic scenes and disgusting, gory deaths of even the main characters. Unlike the cliché '90s horror flicks -- think Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer -- Jeepers Creepers kept itself in a category of true horror movies.\nJeepers Creepers 2 had potential because of it's original movie Stephen King-type feel. For one, it's set in the middle of a cornfield on an abandoned highway. (Someday I'd like to know why all the really good horror movies look like they were filmed in Indiana.) But Jeepers Creepers 2 didn't reach it's full potential. The acting is average and the viewer isn't even sitting in suspense wondering what the Creeper looks like now. We know in the first scene. \nYou might jump once. You might jump twice. But any "horror" movie that allows you to go home and sleep by yourself with the lights off and leaves you not even the slightest bit nervous of what's scratching at the window is a serious cinematic flop.
