Jeepers Creepers 2 (2003)
Don't bother...
...watching this film.
I was quite enamoured with the original as I felt that it was a breath of fresh air amongst all the usual teeny slashers that have been about for the past few years. There was no guessing who was doing it, you knew who (if not exactly what) was responsible. In a nutshell, I had high hopes for a sequel (obviously something that you should never have!).
It was, in my personal opinion, terrible. Not especially creepy, no story line as such and characters that you felt nothing for. A bunch of school kids (how original) and a vengeful father, I was actually glad when they died as you didn't have to watch them anymore.
The only spooky bit was in the cornfield at the very beginning, after that it was downhill all the way. Who lives, who dies, who cares?
American Outlaws (2001)
Hmmm, I didn't think it was that good...
Reading the first summary for this film on imdb I thought this might turn out to be okay, but I wasn't that impressed.
I think my biggest problem was that a lot of the content was very similar to Young Guns 1 & 2. You've got the Indian, the young one who shouldn't be there, the educated man, the fight for leadership of the gang and of course the main character getting well renowned with "wanted" posters everywhere. You even get other members being a bit peeved as they're not mentioned or that their pictures aren't that good.
I can say no more as I'm not going to spoil the film for others, but there are things linked to the above that you just can't help getting a sense of deja vu watching this.
It was a watchable film, I just don't think it was very original. You've got to admit that if you want to watch a decent Western, you need to go to the video shop and rent any of the old spaghetti westerns which truly are the classics and can seemingly never be out done.
