I'm big on horror films, and "Jeepers Creepers" was a nice treat that seemed to come out of nowhere. When a friend offered free advance tickets, I was there in a heartbeat. This, to me, seemed like the makers either forgot, or didn't realize what made the first one so much fun. 1 had limited CGI, and achieved most of it's effects through more traditional methods, and did them quite well. This was an orgy of digital image manipulation. The first had two main characters. This has a Busload of major characters, most of whom are so badly sketched out, they leave almost no impression. The gargoyle mythology doesn't really get sketched out any better than the first one. It seems that most people weren't remembering the scant information from the first one, and were a bit more surprised than I was. By the end, it turns into a weird cross between "Tool Time" and "Red Green" with the farmer going for revenge. Don't really get any more info than we had the first time, but we hear what they already told us, over and over.I noticed that the first one apparently originally emerged from Italy, but this one appears to have sprung directly from Coppola.
