	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"Victor Salva's 'Jeepers Creepers 2' supplies us with a first-class creature, a fourth-rate story, and dialogue possibly created by feeding the screenplay into a pasta maker (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Dave Kehr The New York Times	"You don't have to be a horror-movie scholar to know that nothing significant is going to happen in any movie with '2' in the title (...) Even monsters need more than one dimension to make it in the movies."	NEG
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"This follow-up to Victor Salva's much-liked 'Jeepers Creepers' is actually better, with a far more sustained and rigorously imagined narrative, cleverly executed shocks and funny moments"	POS
United Kingdom	Scott Russon Empire	"Lazy nonsense, which includes an inexplicably clairvoyant cheerleader and a home-made harpoon gun. The Creeper won't be joining horror's Hall Of Fame (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Nev Pierce BBC	"Bloody, brutal and unpleasant, Victor Salva's skilful sequel to his superior creature feature lacks the chills of the original, but ramps up the action (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Nathan Rabin AV Club	"[It] is not only bigger than its predecessor, but also better (...) [This] sequel transforms the regenerative, reptilian, Cronenbergian Creeper from a liability into one of the film's greatest strengths."	POS
United States	Andy Klein Variety	"'Jeepers Creepers 2' is substantially better than its predecessor, even while staying strictly within the genre's well-defined boundaries."	POS
United States	Ed Gonzalez Slant	"'Jeepers Creepers 2' isn’t quite as amusing as the original, but it easily bests the first film’s prickly lasciviousness (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Sloan Freer Radio Times	"Jonathan Breck is joyously over the top as the famished fiend, but it's avenging father Ray Wise in Captain Ahab mode who gives the relentless tale its most theatrical shot of fun (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
