Codex Atanicus
Codex Atanicus is a three story anthology by Spanish director Carlos Atanes. Before watching the movie I never heard of the guy, but the introduction video on the DVD by one of his regular actresses Arantxa Peņa made me realize that I'm in for a hell of a ride. Experimental, bizarre, sick, strange - these are some of the words that describe the stories contained in Codex Atanicus. The anthology is opened by a 20 minute short from 1995 called Metaminds & Metabodies. I am really not into this kind of experimental videos, but I will try to summarize. It opens with a girl singing in the club. Everything looks ultra underground and the girl is connected with some wires to the walls. Strange people are watching her...

Movie Review: Jeepers Creepers 2

Story
This broken-down bus of high school jocks, cheerleaders and some coaches is stranded on a country road and gets attacked by the Creeper, a beast of some kind who comes up to earth every 23 years to feed. Also a farmer who lost his younger son to the Creeper earlier sets out to get his revenge.

Comments
I don't know why they felt like it was necessary to do a sequel to the first movie. Jeepers Creepers was pretty good when it came out and there was no reason to do a second one, but they did and here it is, and it's as expected not very good.

Jeepers Creepers actually had some genuine scares in it, at some point a creepy feeling to it and was kinda intense at places. Jeepers Creepers 2 has nothing of that to offer, it's just a dumb sequel, totally pointless.

That's about it and it's crap.

First off you have all these annoying idiots in the bus and you have to sit through all their stupid jokes and dumb comments and remarks. After that you're so sick and tired that you don't really care what's gonna happen anymore.

Why do so many of these teen horror movies have to have such a stupid dialogue in them? Only thing that happens with that is that either you end up hating the characters more than you did at first sight or you just don't care, but either way, nothing good can come of it.

So the Creeper keeps attacking the bus and everyone's screaming and it's quite boring. And then you have the revengeful farmer on the side which is actually somewhat equal to the Creeper but this is not very interesting either.

Final Comments
I guess it has some entertainment value, but not much. I hope they don't make a third movie but they probably will. Those bastards...
