So she brings along Will, a boy who's been crushing on her...or has he? When they are sent to the Island, they are sent during hurricane season and to a hotel with no guests...coincidence? Doubt it.

In I Still Know What You Did Last Summer Julie finally learns not to run from her mistakes. I Still Know What You Did Last Summer reveals secrets that will make your spine crawl and show you what happens to people who run from fate.

Why do some directors and writers of horror movies think it's fair to completely annoy their audiences with these ambiguous endings, so that even though you may have enjoyed the movie, you hate the resolution! It's such a cop out. It's like they're telling you, the third in the series is coming out. Unfortunately, this particular series should probably stop. I liked the first movie a lot; it was suspenseful, imaginative, and pretty scary. The acting was generally better too. This time around, the acting and script are pretty irritating. First of all, anyone who knows their geography will get a big clue early in the film. Secondly, Freddie Prinze's character is such a jerk in the beginning, you can't believe his sudden transformation. Third, I figured out the villain very early in the film, so there was little suspense. The acting overall is lame; Jennifer Love Hewitt has decided to join Neve Campbell in the "I'm only doing this for the money, and I'm really wasting my time in this silly horror movie." She does look a lot like Kate Jackson in this one, though. Freddie Prinze is absolutely awful, completely unconvincing, and a pretty shoddy hero, to boot. The guy who plays Titus is an offensive, stereotypical insult to intelligent viewers, providing none of the comic relief the director obviously wanted. Jeffrey Combs, who was so good in the "Reanimator" movies looks as bored as Miss Hewitt, and does nothing to pad his resume. Three actors do manage to rise above their material: Jennifer Esposito as Nancy, the barmaid is very good; Brandy is surprisingly effective as Julie's best friend, although her character does become annoying and stupid; and Matthew Settle as the good-natured Bill is very effective. I still think Gorton's should sue for using their fisherman image, but it is a horror movie. That's what so sad. It could have been a lot better, but it's too predictable and a little too gory, as well. When all is said and done, "Halloween" and "A Nightmare on Elm Street" (the first in the series) are still the benchmarks for modern horror movies!

Being a ginormous fan of the I Know series, I had to buy this on Blu Ray when it came. Part 1 is surprisingly a very good transfer to Blu Ray and certainly worth the repurchase/upgrade. I Still Know is a little iffier. The picture quality is certainly improved, but not substantially so. My recommendation would be to stick with the original DVD version unless you're a rabid fan of the movie, as I am.

This movie just didn't compare to the first, which remains one of my favorite suspense films.

While "I Know What You Did Last Summer" was creative and innovative, "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer" just rehashes tried and trite horror movie concepts. (Namely, small group of people isolated in a remote location with no way of escape gradually gets killed off.)

I Still Know...is as absurd as they come. Four teens, who are sharing a brain, win a trip to the Bahamas. They arrive to learn that they have arrived at the end of season, which is the 4th of July. Forget the fact that they don't celebrate the 4th of July there. This is a neat way of reducing the cast size. Later, there is a supposed hurricane, but the production company wouldn't put out for more than one rain machine, so it's pretty dinky. It does make a fine mess of Hewitt's hairdo, which was bad before it got wet.

The fisherman they thought they killed in the first movie is back, and boy! is he upset! The kids waste a lot of time chasing the wrong killer. One of the hotel employees practices voodoo, so he's got to be it, right? No, this is the Caribbean, not Omaha.

I lost track of the body count because the person I watched this one with couldn't keep a straight face. When I said I was doing my job, they really fell apart.

This is that new breed of movie in which no one knows how to write the music. Here, there is scary music every time someone turns their back to the camera. HD20 had the same problem. These little movies used to have some interesting music, as well as some swell camera angles. Now they've all turned into MTV marathons.

Without the very talented Kevin Williamson writing the screenplay for the sequel to his earlier hit, this movie was much too obvious, but I must admit that it was a more than decent movie, with a great ending.

Trash and an unnecessary sequel.

So many holes in this story it makes no sense. First of all if Karla is Julie's best friend and sees how much Julie likes Ray why is she trying to hook her up with someone else. She's not trying to help her alleged best friend and comfort her just go and sleep with someone else. Knowing that Julie is somewhat paranoid and Karla knew most of the story that Julie went through why is she sneaking around the apartment in the dark with no lights on in the house and if they go to the same school why would Karla think Julie was out of town, looks to me classes are still going on

To make this movie even more ridiculous, Karla the genius says Rio as the capital of Brazil and for those who know geography very well know right off the bat that this was a set up. Bill Cobbs' character knew that it was the wrong answer but yet didn't say anything to warn the four people that Rio was the wrong answer and help them try to go back home, waits until the last minute for the body count to pile up.

Ben Willis have so many opportunities to kill Julie when she's at the club, in the bathroom, in the tanning bed and don't do anything plus he could have killed Ray after he fell but didn't do anything there either. So this killer is a complete moron but the victims are even dumber when some of them were armed with weapons ( a knife, axe, baseball bat mind you) they completely forget they had these weapons and don't make it a possible 3 on 1 attack and just run. Don't even try to work together to kill this man. I guess if you have common sense horror movies won't exist.

Plot holes everywhere in this movie.

I love the movie series so I'm a little Biased. Its your typical teen slasher movie with lots of action and drama. Lots of thrills and chills. Found myself yelling at he screen.

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.
