Dear me, no
wonder I never go anywhere by bus! This is the follow on from the
original (which at least had some sort of a storyline) where we are once
again treated to the winged wonder who resembles an
Orc that never quite made the grade for The Lord of the Rings.
This time the creeper starts off by impersonating a scarecrow (The best
acting scene during the whole film!) and snatches a young kid from a
cornfield (corn being the operative word for this) and flies off as the
boy's brother and father look on helplessly.

Next he turns his attention to a bus
load of college kids returning from a sporting event. The teenagers
have about 12 brain cells between the lot of them and they have to try
to avoid using all at once to enable them to make some intelligent and
well thought out decisions later in the film (I jest of course).
Predictably the creeper hijacks the bus on a country road late at
night, and tries to pick them off one by one… which isn't very
difficult as panic sets in and they splinter off into different
groups. The kids eventually radio ahead and the message is picked up
by the father of the boy who's been snatched. He dutifully turns up
in an old truck like a land lubbing Quint
armed with a giant spear at
the end of a rocket launcher!
Hence all hell breaks loose as he
desperately tries to save the kids from a fate worse than death (I
think it's called Jeepers Creepers 3). The final scene in the barn
verges on the ridiculous and leaves the barn door literally wide open
for a third sequel, but I think the horse may well have bolted with
the script and they have decided to quit while they're ahead, as no
show as yet (breathes sigh of relief). If you want that,
"stood-up on a blind-date feeling" watch Jeepers Creepers 2 -
it doesn't get much worse! |
