Review of I Still Know What You Did Last Summer
- Julie and her friends are tormented on a free weekend trip to an island.
Genre: Horror
Rating: R
Release Date: 7-AUG-2001
Media Type: DVD
Product Description
- 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

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.
Score: 1

terrible
This is a terrible film that was totally unnecessary and unoriginal. It is just a rehash of the first film, I Know What You Did Last Summer. The film has a cliché epilogue that contradicts what came before. I won't give it away, but you could easily guess it. I hated this film.

so awful, it's not worth reviewing
amazing 109 people out of 295 gave this sickening display of B-cinema uniform acting no-no's...five stars. Horrendous, exceedingly poor inception, timing, predictable, not fun, not scary, not suspensful, lacked character development, irritating and nauseating tension, if any; grade school level acting responses to often life threatening situations, freddie prinz jr is enough to make this film a one star from jumpstreet, jennifer hewiit is cute...cute, not talented, cute.
The whole film is a basis of a makover of Scream which just goes to show, that anyone...ANYONE...can be famous...that is food for thought for all your theatre majors and film students.
Save your money, and save your precious time, avoid this film. "Uh, duh, uh duh," that is how one feels after viewing this atrocity; this mindless banter of redundant B film acting.
PATHETIC. I still dont know why I watched this. I still dont know why I'm reviewing this.

Decent...garbage
I Still Know I Did Jennifer Love Hewitt Last Summer.....oops that's not what it's called...my bad. Anyway after the first ended with Hewitt getting attacked by hook man she's back and I guess we're supposed to believe the end of it was just her dreaming. In this her and her victims....I mean friends go on a trip "that she won on the radio" to a tropical island. Of course it rains there the entire time. I guess that was hook man's plan, to get her on a spooky looking tropical island and he must control the weather too "damn you hook man!". Actually no, because of him making it rain, we get to see her in tight shirts in no bra in the rain yelling "what are you waiting for!, what are you waiting for!, I need new lines!, I need new lines!".
Well guess I made it obvious that once they get their Hookie is there as well. He starts killing people...., including the nice drug dealer played by Jack Black. He gives his best performance ever!! Okay I'm just kidding, he's annoying. Since hookie wants Hewitt dead, it puts her friends in danger. Which pisses off Brandy's horny b/f played by Mekhi Phifer (E.R, 8-Mile) who's just on the island to do the nasty with her. While Freddie "I act so bad even my show was canceled" Prinze Jr. steals a boat to come to the rescue. Nope he doesn't rescue the movie with his acting abilities.. I actually found the movie to be a decent slasher flick. But the end is just awful and isn't needed. It should've just ended with Hookman realizing that Hewitt looked hot in a wet tight t-shirt and asking her to marry him. Instead he still wants to just kill her for being one of the people that threw him off a dock after hitting him with a car. You would think this guy would've just got a life by now.
Score: 2
