After his son is set upon by a scarecrow that seems to have come alive, farmer Jack Taggart Sr. (Ray Wise) and his son, Jack Taggart Jr. (Luke Edwards), go looking for an explanation. Meanwhile, a bus carrying high-school students breaks down nearby, and a creature known as the Creeper (Jonathan Breck) starts a killing spree. The elder Taggart soon realizes that the killings and the attack on his son are connected, and, after alerting the community to be on guard, he aims to pummel the Creeper.

Critics Consensus

Jeepers Creepers 2 is competently made, but it doesn't have the scares of the original.

The tag here is more silly than haunting, but this is still a pretty wild ride, with a fine, knife-wielding score by Bennett Salvay.

Jeepers Creepers 2 is just plain silly. And comes to India a year too late.

Subtle as a brick, Jeepers Creepers 2 is what it is, and you either love it or hate it. Still, you have to admit that the Creeper (Jonathan Breck) is a fun villain.

[I]t's kind of refreshing to see a film like this acknowledge real-world issues.

[Victor] Salva has given Jeepers Creepers 2 legs sturdy enough to stand on its own without relying on the original.

Of course, the thing doesn't actually die. It just folds up its face and hibernates for another 23 years, or at least until the inevitable Jeepers Creepers 3: More Goo for You.

A surprisingly solid horror sequel. Apparently, among the fanbase, it is heavily debated about which one’s the better of the two, Jeepers Creepers, or Jeepers Creepers 2? And I kind of see why. Both of them are surprisingly sold for what they are, being low-budget, random-director horror flicks, and both can be effectively dark and messed up in what they’re going for. I think the two leads in the original are better than any one character here, and I think this lacks the surprise ending the first one had. But, I also think the characters are largely still quite good here, and I think it’s probably more effectively tense and suspenseful overall, with fewer dumb character decisions (though there are still a few of those). I think the first one may have had higher highs, but this one might be more consistent. Either way you go, I was surprised by both of them. They’re both pretty entertaining, and they both offer cool, unique things for horror hounds to feast on. They’re a solid time.

It's an excellent horror movie, one of those sequels that doesn't drop in quality from the original. Both are criminally underrated.

Horribly acting, horrible CGI and makeup, weird yellow filter, homophobic at times - not sure how this even got the green light.

Well-made & suspenseful, Jeepers Creepers 2 is in the rotation of movies I watch on a regular basis. To me, this is an example of the sequel being better than the original. A wicked scarecrow beast thing wakes up from hibernation to feed on a broken-down bus full of high school kids stranded in the middle of nowhere. Genuinely scary at times.
