I Still Know What You Did Last Summer

An alright film but far inferior to the original.

The original actually had a good element of mystery to it, who was the killer? There were 3-4 people who you thought it might have been. In this though we know from the beginning who the killer is.

Also the introduction of a new character is very poorly done and just makes no sense following on from the previous movie. The film also plays up the idea the villain is now a master hacker which I didn't buy for a moment.

I didn't like the tropical setting of the new film, how could the villain have known in advance there would be a storm? One of the key characters from the original is more or less written out of this one and I thought a lot of the dialogue was much worse too.

Some of the action and scares were probably shot fairly well but there's a lot of other problems with the film. Despite the problems with the films to some it's almost guilty pleasure material. Jack Black is also in this movie and his character is truly terrible.

Ermmm, exsqueeze me? Baking powder? I would like to know exactly when and where the usually rock solid formula for producing a simple but entertaining slasher flick got lost? Or is it just that Danny Cannon can't seem to suss it out? "I know I know!... How about we have another scene where Jennifer Love Hewitt hears a spooky noise, wanders around the house in the dark, then opens a door to discover that there is no one there!... yeah, that's it! Then we can have a scene where Jennifer Love Hewitt hears a noise, wanders..."

If you are a fan of the old school slasher flicks such as Bodycount, Halloween, or the Friday the 13th's then you will be dissapointed with this films lack of entertaining grisly setpieces or inovation. If you are a fan of the hip new school of Kevin Williamson then again you will be dissapointed by the yawnsome pace of this.

Dire! 1 out of 10, try harder!

Now that I re-watched after all these years, I can't really understand why I was a fan of it... Ryan Phillippe was replaced by Mekhi Phifer (a sex maniac, bully-type-of-person), Jennifer Love Hewitt remained the same (a little less irritating to be honest), Freddie Prinze Jr. was actually a lot better than those puppy eyes that haunted me for 1 hour and 41 minutes last night, and Brandy took the best part like Sarah Michelle Gellar did. Well yes, Julie James' best friends have the best characters in both movies. Apart from that, really poor acting, silly lines, totally unnecessary plot twist - to the verge of kitsch - and no real mysterious atmosphere.

I went into this movie expecting it to be absolute trash based on the general consensus of reviews. However, I was plenty surprised. It's not incredible, but it's definitely not as bad as people are saying. I thought it shared a lot of similarities with the first film, and Jack Black was a good addition. The only thing I'd criticize is the unnecessary sexualization of the main teenage girl. And the racist stereotypes. Ok, it's outdated, but it's really not a bad slasher flick.

Don't bother.Unless you are very easily entertained and have not seen any decent horror movies to compare this to. I would say the first one was OK, having seen it in the theater with a screaming audience made it more fun, but not in my list of top 20 horror movies. This sequel makes the first one look like a masterpiece. I figured out who the killer was about 15 minutes into the movie. The only slightly amusing part was Jeffrey Combs, who starred in the classic Re-Animator and many Stuart Gordon films. He is amusing but too good for crap like this! I Hope they at least paid him good money, the poor guy. Also, why did she flip out when she was locked in the tanning bed? The killer turns the heat up all the way...first of all, it isn't possible to turn it up enough to "cook" someone, especially in about 5 seconds. Oooooo, a tanning bed. I'm shaking in my shoes! No suspense, no nothing, and the ending was OK but made no logical sense. Of course there will be a third movie that will start out with her waking up from a bad dream that is the end of this one. Yeah, and I had a bad dream that I wasted 3 bucks an 90 minutes of my life watching this crud. No wait, that was real! Aaaaaaiiie!
