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.

Leonard Klady Variety This followup to last year's successful teens-in-jeopardy opus piles on the chills, thrills and body count. Apr 3, 2009 Full Review Lisa Alspector Chicago Reader 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. Jan 5, 2007 Full Review Nigel Floyd Time Out Irredeemably dire. Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Stephen A. Russell Orion's Shoulder (Substack) 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. Jul 18, 2025 Full Review Deirdre Dolan National Post This year's follow-up is predictable but better than the original. Jul 15, 2025 Full Review Josh Winning Radio Times 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.

Nathan J. Rating: 4.4/10 I Still Know What You Did Last Summer is a generic and scare-free slasher film that fails to capture the suspense and charm of its predecessor. Highlights - Jennifer Love Hewitt: She continues to be a likable and committed "final girl" in the film. - Tropical Setting: The island backdrop provides a decent and atmospheric setting for a slasher film. Criticisms - Lazy Screenplay: The plot is a predictable and illogical mess, relying on lazy jump scares and a contrived twist. - Underdeveloped Characters: The new characters are bland and one-dimensional, serving only as slasher fodder. - Uninspired Direction: The direction is flat and uninspired, failing to build real suspense or tension. Verdict I Still Know What You Did Last Summer is a lazy and unscary horror sequel that is built on a ridiculous plot contrivance. With a lack of suspense, cheap jump scares, and poor character development, it's a skippable and forgettable entry in the franchise. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/17/25 Full Review matthias s “I Still Know What You Did Last Summer” isn’t as bad as I expected, but it definitely can’t escape the shadow of the first one. I’ve always liked Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr., though Freddie barely shows up here, which is a shame. I do appreciate how the movie explores Julie’s PTSD — nice bit of continuity there. Jack Black’s random cameo is fun, the kills are plentiful but super bland, and Will… yeah, he’s just weird, not charming. The so-called twist is obvious from mile one. Overall, a watchable but forgettable sequel. 2.5 stars feels about right. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/17/25 Full Review Tyler K. Fun setting but bad movie. It can be a fun watch, but I can’t take this seriously. 2.8/10 Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/14/25 Full Review Pedro Henrique C I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (1998) surprisingly this movie continues to be a resounding piece of crap. Nothing in this second story works, it's just a story of dumb characters. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/05/25 Full Review Santiago B Its not a bad movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/01/25 Full Review Becks A Not the same thrills as the first, but still a recommendable spookiest with well placed jumpscares. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/23/25 Full Review Read all reviews
