I loved the other two movies, but this is just the definition of a masterpiece...pretty much perfect in every way. If you consider yourself a fan of film and you haven't seen this, you really owe it to yourself. Brilliant, brilliant movie.
Wilder was a genius and capable of hopping from dark satire to screwball comedy to taught thriller with grace and ease. Check out Double Indemnity, it's one of the best nior thrillers ever filmed

Jeepers Creepers 2.


Mildly amusing, sparsely entertaining, and very intriguing. All in all, a fun time...and a decent follow-up to a very promising original. One of the best movie monsters in a long time for sure.

I thought the second one got a little too goofy. The Creeper was scary in the first one.

There's only a bare bones version over here. I've always really liked that flick.

I rented that, I didn't get far enough in to the movie to see Lance Henriksen though
