Critics Consensus

Boring, predictable, and bereft of thrills or chills, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer is exactly the kind of rehash that gives horror sequels a bad name.

This followup to last year's successful teens-in-jeopardy opus piles on the chills, thrills and body count.

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.

Too dumb to function ... Sure, the body count increases, but I Still Know What You Did Last Summer is even less focused, almost entirely targeting random hotel employees.

This year's follow-up is predictable but better than the original.

It works as the horror-movie equivalent of a college party: bigger, louder and more absurd than the original, and best enjoyed with your brain switched all the way off.

I believe this is not as good as the original, however, it is a good follow-up/resolution to the original which is not just a carbon copy. The background story is told, and the connections are explained, even IF they are a bit convenient and predictable. The returning characters are played well, and the new characters are passable. The writer may be trying to make this a bit more like Scream, however, this sort of film seemed to be the popular type of horror film in the later 90's.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Great sequel. It was not repetitive with the same old "I hit a guy with my car again in this movie" plot but gave the movie new settings, new funny characters and actors. I thought the reveal was great while bringing back the original killer. Jack Black, Mekhi phipher, brandy all brought enjoyable characters to the movie. When it came out, I had chills seeing the killer walk up the hotel stairs after Julie. Truly an original sequel that didn't remake the original but kept the story flowing and entertaining.
