The original film, itself no masterpiece, at least had a strong premise, from Lois Duncan's novel, and complicated its characterisations by an unusual class awareness.

Reviews for I Still Know What You Did Last Summer
Irredeemably dire.
06/24/06
Top CriticThe film does effectively pump the audience to the point of being ravenous for the hook-handed villain to start his spree.
06/05/02
Director Danny Cannon knows how to give a Hitchcockian air to an island-style Bates Motel.
01/01/00
This followup to last year's successful teens-in-jeopardy opus piles on the chills, thrills and body count.
04/03/09
Top CriticIt's not a bad film for what it is.
11/15/02
Top CriticHere's a suggestion: hire a filmmaker with flair, someone capable of energizing this lame series beyond what it deserves -- someone who won't abide by the shock note.

When Bad Things Happen to Stupid People might have been a better title.
06/18/02
I still don't care.
10/16/02
The movie soon abandons its nascent psychological explorations for formulaic body pile-up.
01/01/00
A 100-minute festival of stupidity.
01/01/00
Not that watching Jennifer Love Hewitt and Brandy flounce around in skimpy shirts is a bad thing -- it's just not enough to carry the film.
03/24/02
How are we to be frightened or afraid of these things when they have repeated themselves over and over again for the past two decades?
01/01/00
As mindlessly engaging as its predecessor...
06/24/09
There are many things wrong with this film, starting with title.
10/08/04
The ending of the film inevitably leaves the door wide open for a third part, but judging from this amazingly lackluster first sequel, everyone involved should have quit while they were still ahead.
01/01/00
The prospect of a third installment of this derivative series is much scarier than anything that happens in the movie.
01/01/00
The only thing terrifying about this clunker is the thought of having to sit through it.
05/22/03
Only five movies into the latest recurrence of the slasher flick fad, and already it's run out of ideas.
01/01/00
A box office-driven sequel that re-hashes the already-tired approach and storyline of its predecessor.
