Beautifully CRAFTED Horror Film


This has got to be one of the most visually interesting cinematography & ingenious screenplay to ever been done on a monster horror movie such as this! One particularly unique treatment was during the dream sequence which Minxie has and it ended abruptly with the big wings opening up behind her. That whole scene is just too awesome. The score was exquisitely composed!

No argument here.

I think this film is very underrated.

I definitely want to know about the Creeper's origins . I wish that third film would come out already

It definitely gets more hate than it deserves. It's not the best movie ever or anything, but it's better than the rash for pg-13 horror garbage that has been littering our screens lately. It's not perfect, but it's fairly entertaining...

I agree to an extent. I really liked the shot of the students running through the field away from the Creeper.

I agree entirely - I am shocked to find so much hatred on here.
I rate Jeepers Creepers as one of the best post-millennial horror movies around, and for a horror sequel, I was really impressed with this movie. A masterclass of suspense, only let down a little by the slightly silly truck-harpoon thing.

The visual style of the film is easily the best part of it. The rest of the film is garbage but the cinematography is fantastic, as it was in the first film. The shot of the camera zooming into Ray Wise's eyes as it slowly fades into the next scene brilliantly captures exactly what his character is thinking.

I agree but the first one is far better. One of the best films ever.

I can't remember it too well but the opening scenes in the cornfield with the Creeper pretending to be a scarecrow are pretty iconic. Etched into my memory.
