A brother and sister on spring break from college decide to take the scenic route home--an endless, desolate stretch of road through central Florida. Along the way they are run off the road by a strange truck, and later they see its driver disposing of what looks like a human body down a drainpipe near an old church. Derry (Justin Long) convinces his older sister, Trish (Gina Philips), that they have to investigate, and despite all better judgment, they do. That's just the beginning of this wild horror film, directed by Victor Salva (POWDER). Salva keeps the audience guessing by never settling into any particular style or formula. The film veers gleefully in all directions, referencing such classics as NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, and even THE TERMINATOR, along the body-strewn way. There is no shortage of clever humour amid the shocks, gross-outs, and nail-biting suspense, and Philips and Long.
This is one of the best horror flicks I've seen. Although I've watched it so many times it never fails to entertain me. A must for all horror fans.

Every 23rd Spring, for 23 days, it gets to eat. Today is the last day of a horrific feeding frenzy … and the Creeper is still hungry for more! On a deserted highway, a school bus is carrying a basketball team and its cheerleaders back from a triumphant game. The bus breaks down on a lonely stretch of road and the thrill of victory is quickly replaced by terror, as the journey becomes a road trip to Hell. As the sun sets, the Creeper descends on the bus and picks off the athletes one by one, sniffing out his victims. Will any of them survive, or will they all provide the Creeper with another horrific helping of mouth-watering morsels, in this nerve-jangling horror?
I loved the first 'Jeepers Creepers' & was looking forward to seeing this sequel so much......maybe that was my downfall.
