The film continues on from the original. A boy is abducted from a farm by The Creeper(Breck). His father, Jack Taggart(Wise) and his brother, Jack Jr, see him being taken off. Next day, a school bus is driving along. They are coming back from a football game when they hit something. A tyre is totally ruined. They start talking about the story of the burned church where the bodies were found stitched together. The teachers see what burst the type. It is some sort of bone thing.

The kids on the bus are Minxie(Aycox), Chelsea, Rhonda, Izzy, Dante(Al Santos), Double D, Scott(Nenninger), Jake, Big K, Coach Charlie(Gossom Jr.), Coach Dwayne and Betty(Delano), who is the bus driver.

Jack Jr and his father are making weapons. Scott is pissed off as he didn't get to play for long enough in the game. Mitzy sees Darry pointing at the cornfield nearby. She sees Billy. She sees The Creeper thowing the bone at their tyre. Now, two tyres are out. They see a car and the man in it tells them that he will alert the cops. Betty finds another spike. She and the coaches get taken by The Creeper. The kids are all in a panic. Jack is listening to the police scanner. He hears about the abductions and he and Jack Jr. go out to see what's going on. Scott sees a farm in the distance. He wants to make a run for it. They see The Creeper outside the bus. It wants Double D next. Minxie has another vision. She sees The Creeper and Darry(Justin Long). He tells her about The Creeper and how he hunts for twenty three days. She tells the group all about it.  She tells them that it has to go back into the ground in the morning as this is the twenty third day. She tells them that it will come back for the chosen ones.

Jack finds a car. It is the car from earlier. It has been ripped apart so The Creeper claimed another victim. Jack makes contact with the bus and he tells them to hang on until he can get there. The Creeper is on the roof. It tries to get Bucky, but Rhonda spears it. It is injured and flies off and it falls on the bus. They try to get off the bus but the door won't open. The Creeper starts to regenerate. Scott gets the door open and he wants to leave. He wants to separate the ones the Creeper wants from the ones it doessn;t. Double D, Bucky and Jake were chosen. Double D says that it looked at Scott too. They are going to leave but Scotty gets taken by The Creeper.

Jack comes along and sees Minxie in the road. She tells him and his son that they can't kill it. She joins them. They arrive at the bus and Jack and The Creeper face off. He shoots at it. They battle. Jack gets injured. The others find a truck and get into it. The Creeper follows. They fight it off. Izzy crashes the truck . Double D is okay and so is Rhonda. The Creeper is hurt. It wants Double D. It gets speared through the head. Jack is back along with the rest of the kids. He spears it again and again. It seems to die. Minxie says that is isn't dead but its time ran out. Cut to twenty three years later. People come to see the Creeper which is hanging in Jack's barn. They talk to him about it. He shows them the weapon that killed it. He is waiting for it to return.

This is a good sequel. I enjoyed the story and it was fun overall. Of course, the bonus is that Ray Wise is in it. That has to be a reason to watch it. He is a great actor and always good in every role he plays. This film is definitely worth your time. I think that if you liked the first film, then you will like this. I give it a 6/10.
