The radio mentions that some bodies were so old the teeth were made of wood. Why were there bodies that had wooden teeth? Shouldn't they be decomposed after 200 years? Oh well....

The psychic character (Minxy?) was an intensely stupid move. I cannot figure out why they would take a movie that had been grounded in reality the first time round, and turn it into a complete joke for ludicrousness. And there never was any payoff to her being psychic. She just was. I think it was the only way the writer could throw the explanation into the movie for the characters to know what was going on. Try harder next time.

I found it entirely interesting in the retarded kind of way that how few days after the first movie the creeper already has made weapons to attack with? Or if he had them before then damn thats some huge coincidence that he never used them...

Whereas the lame insults the brother and sister threw each other in the first movie were halfway amusing, in this tired sequel each "insult" was cringe inducing. I couldn't believe the lack of originality in the dialogue. If you can't write something witty yourself, best not try to do it alone. Get a second writer, put some damn effort in.

Nobody seemed to have trouble believing what was happening to them, nor were they ever terribly panicked when the creeper started popping up at different windows. They would scream for about three seconds then all stop and breath really heavily, and calm down instantly like nothing was wrong. In most of the movie their reactions were laughable to given situations.

I loved the first movie, though I shuddered at the idea of a sequel. I knew it would have no chance of being as good as the first, however I didn't think it would lapse into such a horrible plot as this. I wanted the sequel to be good, regardless of whether I thought it could be, and I went into the theater with an open mind. I at least hoped that it would give us a little more back story on the creeper, what it was and where it came from or how it came to be. Nope.

The creeper was no where near as scary, especially since in the first movie it was always on the move and hard to see what it looked like. And it was subtle but tricky. In this one it was constantly framed perfectly in the shot, and the camera lingered on it for a lengthy duration. It was none-to-subtle which of course their lame excuse was that it was in a frantic last day of feeding. Either way you look at it, this Creeper was entirely different than the first movie. When the kids ran from the bus and he started using throwing weapons I wanted to get up and leave the theater. I couldn't believe the evil mysterious creeper from the first movie had become a sad ridiculous enemy. If it was a different writer/director it would almost make sense, but this was the creator making it!

I nearly peed my pants when the girl was evidently strong enough to shove a javelin up into the air, through the metal roof of a bus, and out the back of the creeper's head. Wow I guess the jocks on the bus weren't the only ones on steroids! When the geek (did anyone actually remember names of the paper thin characters?) started to get lifted through the roof there was like three people screaming and panicking, and the rest just had a placid look on their face as if to say "Oh, camera's are rolling?" and even after the Creeper releases the geek, the geek is just like insta-calm and so is nearly everyone else. Man if theres one thing that will pull you out of a movie its not feeling like its real. All the windows on the bus are smashed out simultaneously--not so muchas a peep from anyone's mouth. Creeper's wing falls into the bus, no one panicks, everyone stares. Why not take your little javelins and tear its wings to hell?

Because these characters are retarded unlike the first movies well rounded intelligent characters. And that decapitated body really stayed up and moving for too long, so that it became more of a joke than anything. The girl who was strong enough to stab through a bus and the creeper's head couldn't pull a knife out of a tree why? Good thing the redneck dad has fired his postpuncher into the air before, because damn if he wasn't an insane shot with it.

The cinematography was an in-your-face kind of intenseness in the first one, in this one they tried to make it feel claustrophobic, but it just wound up being an eyesore seeing bodies in front of the camera when you were trying to look at the character in the background that its focusing on.

It takes an intensely skilled director and writer to keep a movie in one location for the majority of the movie and still keep the audience interested. Salva is not one of these directors. He made a fantastic first movie, then his second was just a cash in. Why he couldnt use the success of his first movie to get another foot in the door of Hollywood and make a NEW horror movie, entirely unrelated to JC, I'll never know. He must have like ZERO integrity.

While the first movie was intelligent enough, had a decent plot, and most certainly had lots of time and effort put into creating it, this was nothing but a tired, pointless, and ultimately unnecessary sequel. I'm only glad that unlike the first movie, which didn't cost much, and didn't do THAT well in the box office, but was well received and thus came the sequel--this one cost more, will make less, and will not be liked enough to merit a sequel to further destroy the name of an at best decent horror movie... I hope.
