Overrated and overhyped

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

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.

The story do continue but there are other problems. It take a while before the hook comes in and is killing everybody. This flick also shows the problem that horror encountered back then.From the mid nineties it was a main thing to add famous singers on the list of flicks but mostly it didn't work out that fine. here we have the same problem, it's all about love and blah blah but the horror is hard to find. Until the end when things do start going wrong but before that it's showing off in bikinis and working out. Another perfect example how you can destroy a franchise.Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (1998): Dir: Danny Cannon / Cast: Jennifer Love Hewitt, Freddie Prinze Jr., Brandi, Mekhi Pfifer, Mathew Settle: Jennifer Love Hewitt is still not over the tragic events of the first film so Brandi invites her for a getaway on an island where its scenery is the film's only compliment. Freddie Prinze Jr. stays behind until an attempt is made on his life by the man with the hook. Now he is off and running with a gun. Idiot plot works wonders here. Boats are gone for the weekend and a storm is predicted. How convenient. From there the characters are sliced and diced, run and scream, and make narrow escapes. Director Danny Cannon doesn't bring anything new to the concept. What he does throw at us is every graphic hack and slash murder cliché presented in numerous other slasher films. Hewitt is back with the realization that some guy with a hook has been up on whatever it was she did last summer, or the summer before that, or maybe every past summer since. Brandi and Mekhi Pfifer are lifeless, and Prinze Jr is trying hard to be a hero with that gun and false since of bravado. There is even a Voodoo guy who claims that he can help them. He steals Hewitt's toothbrush. Maybe he was going to teach the hook guy a thing or two about tooth decay. I know what the filmmakers were doing last summer and making a decent film wasn't it. Score: 2 / 10

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,I STILL Know What You Did Last Summer.The film stars Jennifer Love Hewitt, Freddie Prinze, Jr., Brandy, Mekhi Phifer, and Matthew Settle. The film also included supporting performances by Jeffrey Combs, Jennifer Esposito, Bill Cobbs, and an uncredited Jack Black.The screenplay was written by Trey Callaway, based on characters originally created in a popular novel by Lois Duncan and it was directed by Danny Cannon.The sequel is the continuation of Julie James, a tortured college co-ed who accidentally almost killed a man and left him for dead one night. One year later, that man, named Ben Willis, came back to kill all of Julie's friends. Now, another year later, she still suffers from nightmares over the horrible incidents. When Julie's roommate Kate wins an all-expenses paid trip to the Bahamas on a radio promotion by guessing the capital of Brazil, she decides to take her roommate Julie, her boyfriend, and their new friend on the retreat. Once there, they discover that besides being the rainy season, they were also followed by Julie's nemesis who is still seeking revenge. Slowly the islanders turn up murdered, leaving Julie no choice but to explain her past actions to her friends and fight to stay alive. It will entail the final showdown between her and Ben Willis once and for all.This was a lazy, hasty effort that offers little beyond a few jack-in- the-box startles and a high body count, including Hewitt's bouncing about in a shirt half-unbuttoned over a bikini top for neither Trey Callaway, who wrote the script, nor Danny Cannon, who directed the sequel, bring any new ideas to the franchise.Also,it version is less scary as compared to the first film.It's time to end it for a sequel should have never been made at all.
