I actually found this one to be on a par with the original; completely different story but, for some reason, the whole "school bus" part of the story made this one just a touch more scary. Maybe it was the idea of being trapped while some otherworldly creature takes its time stalking you and figuring out a way to eventually get to you. The conclusion was great, but the one weakness that I had was the whole issue with "Minxie" and her "premonition"; it was just kind of thrown into the story with ZERO explanation: Was she dreaming during the bus trip? Where, when, and how did she come across "the boy" ( _Darius_ from the first _Jeepers Creepers_ film)? We see her "learning" about The Creeper from "the boy", but there's absolutely no explanation of what happened, etc. That (to me) made for a very annoying hole in the entire plot of this particular film. Like "Scotty" posited during one of his rants, _"One second you're a cheerleader at a ballgame, and the next you're a psychic?!"_ That's essentially how that particular part of this story felt. Apart from that one very glaring weakness, however, I found this one to be a very easy-to-watch film. It had some parts that were a touch more gory than the first film, but even with that, it wasn't very "scary" at all; like the original, it had something of a "creepy" feel to it more than "scary". I know it doesn't say much for a "horror" movie if you can actually laugh while watching it but I have to admit there were a couple scenes that were so goofy that I actually did laugh out loud. I have to shave a couple points off for that reason but it was still a decent movie. In my opinion, however, had they kept that "creepy" feel through the entire movie that was sensed in the opening scenes, this could have gone from being a "good" movie to a "great" horror film. It felt like they tried too hard, though, and somewhere in there the story really got sideways with the turmoil amongst the school kids. It (the turmoil) wasn't "confusing" but it was definitely distracting and took away from the overall creepy feel of the movie. Giving this one a 6.5 but leaning it towards the 7 mark.
