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.

Top Critic. The door is left open for another sequel. I have an idea for it: a movie studio is about to greenlight yet another subpar teen slasher pic, but the fisherman comes in and hooks everyone before production can start. Sound good?

I have seen many stupid movies in my life. But [this] would still count among the stupidest, had I seen twice a many movies in half again as many genres.

A 100-minute festival of stupidity.

You want real terror? If this second outing proves profitable, we'll be looking at Yet Again I Recall the Summer Before the Summer Before Last. Now that's scary.

I still don't care.

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
The film does effectively pump the audience to the point of being ravenous for the hook-handed villain to start his spree.

Our enjoyment is supposed to lie in making fun of the obvious red herrings, contrived opportunities to show cleavage, melodramatic dialogue, gullible characters, and inevitable to-be-continued ending.

The movie's R rating mentions 'intense terror violence and gore,' but only its publicity team could consider it intense or terrifying. Gore it has.

Top CriticThe movie shoots itself in the foot with a gimmicky ending.
10/15/02
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
This one's for die-hard genre fans only. And even then, it's only good to snicker at the obvious cliches and overall predictablity.
01/01/00
It's not a bad film for what it is.
11/15/02
Top CriticIt's frustrating, not to mention insulting.
05/26/06
Director Danny Cannon knows how to give a Hitchcockian air to an island-style Bates Motel.

Thanks, Kevin Williamson. Thank you a whole lot.
01/01/00
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
Like a rotten vaudeville act, this one deserves the hook.
