3.0 out of 5 stars
I know about the urban legend you started last summer...., August 15, 2006
Well, the third movie basically uses the same exact plot mechanism as the original movie--4 kids, 2 boys, 2 girls--do something bad on july 4th...then a year later, have all stopped talking to each other, but have to come together when they realize the 'urban legend' about the fisherman may have come true. The biggest problem with this entry in the series is it is SLOW. it's only an hour and a half but it really drags--even between murders. There are a couple of quite inventive hook moments and some typical fun gore, and to bring the series into the new millennium, there are plenty of short quick "The Ring" edits, as well as a very Ring-like tree that keeps appearing for some odd reason. Unfortunately, the ending of the film, which attempts to be a shocking twist, since you've been trying to guess all along who it is, pretty much blows the entire movie, putting the series into desperation mode. Luckily, the suspense moments leading up to the outcome are sort of fun. Still, this is no top notch slasher, and as a sequel, it's simply a rehash. Worth having to complete your "I Know What You Did" series, though.

WHY?, August 28, 2006
Lets be honest. I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER and I STILL KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER were less than average horror movies. Throw backs to the original killer teenager one after the other format. STORY? Simplistic at best. The selling point? LOVE HEWITT. GELLAR. Quite simply, these movies prove that all you need is a hot popular girl... maybe two... and who cares how good of a story you have to tell. So, along comes I'LL ALWAYS KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER. Same simplistic plot. Guy with hook knows you know what you did and wants you to know that what you did is gonna get you hooked. Except... theres no LOVE HEWITT. There's no GELLAR. There's not even a MOESHA... so why watch? So, if you want to watch 5 more teens get skewered and you don't care about your precious time being wasted, then go for it. Production value took a hit. Star power took a hit. Script is the same or worse. Movie straight to video for good reason.

4.0 out of 5 stars
I actually liked this movie...a lot, July 23, 2007
First off, I LOVED the first two "I Know" movies. The first one, especially, had such beautiful atmosphere and cinematography and colors and it was just...awesome. Having grown up in the 80s, I was excited to see a new slasher. Scream was always too "uppity", but "I Know" was well done, while not taking itself too seriously. I like part two, also, though not as much. It was great seeing the characters evolve. When I heard they were making a part 3 - and that it was going to be DTV - I was VERY hesitant. So, I went into this movie with very low expectations. I was not disappointed. Yeah, it starts off as a regurgitation of the original but, by the end, I was - forgive the pun - hooked. I rented it, at first, just to be safe but, after watching it, I immediately went out and bought a copy for myself. I thought the characters were believable (if not always the acting) and I thought the direction was decent (though the flash cuts got a bit annoying). I'd toyed with my own ideas of how I would continue the series and, I was stunned to see that the makers of this film had actually shared my idea! I was VERY happy with who the killer was and now I'm really hoping they make a part 4.
