Amazon.com: There was so much story left to tell after I Know What You Did Last Summer that the filmmakers brought back all the beloved, surviving characters from the first film for this sequel. Ray (Freddie Prinze Jr.), Julie (Jennifer Love Hewitt), and Julie's white tank top (Jennifer Love Hewitt's white tank top) return to once again face a hook-wielding maniac. Not satisfied merely to repeat a theme, director Danny Cannon and screenwriter Trey Callaway add variation by introducing Karla (Brandy) as Julie's best friend in the whole wide world. Karla and Julie have won a summer trip to the Bahamas with their current infatuations but find that they've arrived at the start of the storm season and that at their hotel "Do Not Disturb" signs should flip to say "R.I.P." One can only hope to hang just such a sign on this repetitive, tedious franchise, especially since this version is less scary than the price of beer in those little hotel room refrigerators. Definite contender for Gratuitous T&A Shot of the Year (it's of Hewitt and that's not meant as a recommendation). --Keith Simanton
Pointless I STILL KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER is a huge let down. Julie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) & her new best buddie Karla (Brandy) win a holiday to the Bahamas. Once there they are stranded after a hurricane warning. The fisherman shows up & starts slicing & dicing.
The sequel is nowhere near the same level as the original. Also the style is different. I KNOW was a clever build-up of tension. I STILL KNOW is all about needless gore, bikinis, tight clothes & cheap scare tactics.
I'll be fair and say that I wasn't bored by I STILL KNOW, the jumps did get me & when the action started I was drawn in to the drama. The film was OK, but it's a let down after seeing what was done first.
The thriller versus the slasher. There is a huge difference. Judge for yourself.
entertaining, but dont expect this to be scary i really liked the first I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER and even though this sequal isent scary in the slightest, it still entertains. good points: -great ending (5/5) -pretty good acting (3/5) -smart title bad points: -the first thing you will notice in this movie is the overly dramatic music, which i think is a little over done, compared to the first -the fact that evry time someone opens a door ( for no apparent reasen) a dead body falls out. by the 3rd time im like "dont bother, theres a dead body in there". this gets really old by the end
Better Than The 1st. Wow. I loved this movie! I thought it was better than the 1st. No it wasn't really scary, but It kept me on edge! I felt sad Jennifer Esposito died. Awwww. Anyway there wasn't a whole lot of blood but still enough. Check out this movie. One Thing,Brandy's butt looked big in those tight pants in the gym scene. I still love ya though Brandy!
Not scary. Back in the day when I bought my first DVD player this movie came free with it. I never saw the first one so I wasn't sure what to expect with this movie.
Like so many horror movies that came out during the Scream era this one isn't very good. It has your usual cast of monster food, teenagers that look trendy but have zero personality. None of the main characters have any kind of history or back story that make you care about them.
The main villain is some guy with a fishhook. Whoopee. The monster food, (main characters) get knocked off one at a time in the usual brutal, gory Hollywood fashion. The plot is just kind of there. The big, bad boogeyman that was left for dead returns for more chaos, but really......who cares?
The biggest problem I have with this movie is the same problem I have with most other horror movies. The cast is the usual pretty faces but are pretty much cardboard cutouts. From the guys we get the usual jock, geek and stoner characters. From the women we get the smart one, the trampy one and the other ditzes who, to quote Scream....."Run up the stairs, when they should be going out the front door. It's insulting". Who cares if the monster gets them or not when you don't care about them in the first place? And the monster himself? Lame, nice fishhook. Not scary, not innovative, another cheap, mindless cash in by Hollywood on a franchise that should have ended after part one.
It's really hard to comment further on the movie without repeating myself. The direction is the usual herky jerky to get you to jump but since this is always done in horror movies, it doesn't work. The movie is just a generic knock off of better and already established franchises. Why even bother?
The plot itself is just throw away, kids run away from monster, monster chases kids, monster gets bested in the end. The acting itself is the usual, kids drink, have sex, run away screaming away from monster. Monster chases kids, tries to scare the audience...........and fails. My three year old niece's temper tantrums are scarier than Mr. Fishhook.
All in all, I can't recommend this movie. If you've seen the Halloween, Friday the 13th, or the Nightmare on Elm St. movies then you've already seen this movie but done a thousand times better. The I Know What You Did Last Summer franchise appears to be over. I hope Hollywood wised up in time before inflicting another generic monster mess on the public. It's dull, boring, it really has no reason to even exist other than annoy the horror fans out there who are too savvy to even bat an eyelash at this... been there, done that nonsense.
Not recommended.
90's horror films were the worst... This was awful on almost every level. For starters the actors were just plain terrible. I got irritated really fast with Brandy on just her big fanny and lips alone. And the unfortunate part is that her character lives. And then we have to watch Jennifer Love Hewitt lip-sync to I Will Survive. Oh, the agony! The writing was just as bad. (did people actually get paid for this?) Jennifer and Brandy win a trip through a rigged radio contest (not sure how we were supposed to believe that one but they did). On top of that, the trivia answer they gave was completely wrong, but I guess a couple of bimbo's wouldn't notice and that is how their characters are portrayed. So they go to the island where our good 'ol fisherman friend Ben Willis is back to finish what he started killing almost everyone except the two people who caused his accident. I guess his motive started to wear off and now he kills just for fun. The fisherman's son is even in this now as one of the friends going by the name Wil Benson [(Ben's son) put together]. How original. The nineties were the worst for horror. The Scream films were entertaining, but they more or less were just making fun of the genre. It's hard to take any of these movies seriously. Urban Legend was another dismal attempt. However, that's not to say there weren't some bad ones during every decade, but there isn't anything truly memorable from this period. I feel the need to give this one star. It's sickening to see that 100 people have given this turkey 5 stars so far. Obviously, they don't know what a good film entails.
