I genuinely love this movie, and can't believe it's now twenty years old, funny where time goes. I thought its predecessor was a mighty fine movie, but this one is even better, The opening is brilliant, it grabs your attention and sets the tone for the rest of the film. The music is absolutely fantastic, some great tunes throughout, Eden and Sugar is Sweeter (CJ Bolland,) production values are also so good, twenty years old and looks better made then many slashers churned out in the years since.It's well acted, Jennifer love Hewitt and Brandy both some much fun to watch, certainly vibrant. Some fine shocks throughout, you don't quite know what's coming next. It's a shame it wasn't followed by a sequel, when they did return with I'll always know.... they had totally lost the plot, that was awful.

Hewitt is in college and struggling to maintain her grades after the traumatic events that occurred the previous summer. She and her friends win an all-expenses-paid vacation to the Bahamas, but it quickly turns into a nightmare when the menacing fisherman returns with vengeance on his mind. The first film may not have been a classic, but surely it could have inspired a much better sequel; this poorly-conceived slasher film has a ridiculous setup, nonexistent plot, little suspense, and an abundance of false scares. Even worse is a multitude of one-note supporting characters, senseless violence, plus manipulative and obvious plot twists that build up to a predictable finale. With the exception of a talented cast, there isn't a single redeeming factor here. *½

Every time that there's a cool new movie, they just have to make a sequel. "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer" pretty much repeats everything from the original, minus and plus some cast members. I just hope that they don't make another "know what you did" movie. Not only is there nothing that they can add to the concept, the title is inaccurate: it should be "two summers ago".So, stick with the original and you won't be disappointed. At least "Scary Movie" spoofed these sorts of movies. Starring Jennifer Love Hewitt, Brandy Norwood, Freddy Prinze Jr., Muse Watson, Mekhi Phifer and Jeffrey Combs.
