Amazon.co.uk Review
There was so much story left to tell after I Know What You Did Last Summer that the filmmakers brought back all the beloved, surviving characters from the first film for this sequel. Ray (Freddie Prinze Jr), Julie (Jennifer Love Hewitt), and Julie's white tank top (Jennifer Love Hewitt's white tank top) return to once again face a hook-wielding maniac. Not satisfied merely to repeat a theme, director Danny Cannon and screenwriter Trey Callaway add variation by introducing Karla (Brandy) as Julie's best friend in the whole wide world. Karla and Julie have won a summer trip to the Bahamas with their current infatuations but find that they've arrived at the start of the storm season and that at their hotel "Do Not Disturb" signs should flip to say "R.I.P." One can only hope to hang just such a sign on this repetitive, tedious franchise, especially since this version is less scary than the price of beer in those little hotel room refrigerators. Definite contender for Gratuitous T&A Shot of the Year (it's of Hewitt and that's not meant as a recommendation). --Keith Simanton

 Pointless follow up July 29, 2008
I STILL KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER is a huge let down. Julie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) & her new best buddie Karla (Brandy) win a holiday to the Bahamas. Once there they are stranded after a hurricane warning. The fisherman shows up & starts slicing & dicing.
The sequel is nowhere near the same level as the original. Also the style is different. I KNOW was a clever build-up of tension. I STILL KNOW is all about needless gore, bikinis, tight clothes & cheap scare tactics.
I'll be fair and say that I wasn't bored by I STILL KNOW, the jumps did get me & when the action started I was drawn in to the drama. The film was OK, but it's a let down after seeing what was done first.
The thriller versus the slasher. There is a huge difference. Judge for yourself.
AN ENTERTAINING SEQUEL BUT NOTHING MORE November 3, 2007
It's been a year since the accidental death of Ben Willis, and Julie James (Jennifer Love Hewitt) is still tormented with nightmares about the ordeal. Her schoolwork is suffering as a result, and her roommate Karla (Brandy) insists she go out and party to forget it. The nightmares continue, and Julie is a nervous wreck. After Karla wins a radio giveaway for a free trip to a resort island and hotel, Karla wants Julie to go with Will Benson, (Matthew Settle) a local college student with a crush on Julie. Julie wants her old friend Ray, (Freddie Prinze Jr.) to go, but he doesn't want to leave the old neighborhood. Forced to go with Will and Karla's boyfriend Tyrell, (Mekhi Phifer) on the trip. The first night is event-free, but then the staff at the resort starts popping up dead. Stranded on the island, Julie informs Karla of her past with Ben Willis, which Karla dismisses as rubbish until she witnesses the killer first-hand. Ray hears about the situation on the island, and rushes over to save Julie and her friends from Ben.
The Good News: Unlike the first movie, this one is the "body count" of the two. We get a lot more deaths in here, many of them pretty cleverly done. Here, we get a hook to the neck, a double spear impaling, hedge-clippers into the stomach, and a boat oar to the side of the head. Despite all these deaths, the film isn't as gory as you would believe. Most of the deaths are violent, but the bloodletting is kept off-screen. The bloodstains are found later, rather than seeing them formed with the kill. The main thing about this film is that it is a lot creepier than the first one. The first part is one giant suspense scene, where we don't really know if Julie is dreaming or seeing things, and it's all cleverly done so it can be either of them or she could be actually stalked by the killer. Because of the way that he dresses, the rain slicker, he is able to get a lot of scenes out of simply standing in the background. I also really like the ending: going out with the bang this one has is a great improvement over the similar ending of the first one. It is a good last jump and is set up brilliantly and logically. It is also more effective at getting the scare than the first one, and leaves open the door for an un-filmed third movie.
The Bad News: As I mentioned earlier, this film is pretty bloodless in certain areas. The deaths are violent, but aren't exactly gory. We get no blood at all during the spear killing, the oar hits off-screen, and the only killing the least bit bloody is the hedge-clipper killing. I really hate that trend where killings are bloodless and films are basically a retread of the earlier films. This "Scream" style of horror films are among the lowest type of horror film because they take the convictions of the genre and throw them back to the audience in a marketable way. I am so glad modern horror films (House of 1,000 Corpses, Cabin Fever, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, etc.) have become famous and have totally replaced these kinds of movies.
The Final Verdict: "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer" is basically a horror film for fans of the first one. Besides the one main plot twist, it introduces nothing of real importance into the series, yet it still manages to blindly entertain. Here, I wish to use the phrase "expendable entertainment" for this film: it's a movie that will please those who see, though those who never do will not be left out in the dark.
 I still know . . . this is an under-rated sequel February 24, 2007

I Still Know What You Did Last Summer is a very good sequel to the hit 1997 movie I Know What You Did Last Summer and, in my opinion, is a very under-rated movie. Instead of making this movie almost exactly the same as the origional, as most horror-movie-makers seem to do, this movie has a totally different setting to the first - a holliday resort in the bahamas!
Julie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) and her best friend and roommate Karla (Brandy) win a radio compition and win a holliday for four to the bahamas. Karla takes her boyfriend Tyrell (Mekhi Phifer) and Julie takes her new love interest Will (Matthew Settle). The arrive and check into their hotel (which I admitt, was a bit of an unrealistic point of the film as there are only five or six staff members and seemingly no other guests, however it is the "off-season").
Julie begins to relax, enjoying the luxury and relaxation of the hotel, but, unknown to Julie and her friends, the body count is rising and its not long before those awaited words "I Still Know..." appear and once again Julie must face the wrath of Ben Willis.
Just as good as the orgional, this movie is not one to miss. It is as scary as the orgional and a bit gorier too. This movie also features an appearance from Jack Black and Ray (Freddy Price Jr) is also back.
I would highly reccomend this movie especially if you enjoyed the origional.

'I Know What You Did Last Summer' was a good film. It had suspense and charm, and you were able to idenity with the characters; in particular, Sarah Michelle Gellar's character, whom it was extremely disappointing to see killed off.Its sequel, however, is dire. It is as the reviewer for the Radio Times describes it; noisy, flashy and dull. The climax to the first film should have been the end of the story but clearly the studio wished to make more money by making this ridiculous attempt at a scary movie. This is mainly owing to a recycled plotline. Jennifer Love Hewitt is back as the innocent, protagonistic Julie James, this time accompanied by a gang of friends who win a trip to the Bahamas. But guess who has decided to gatecrash, and to pick them off one by one? You can see right from the beginning where this story is going. All the cliches of the slasher have been employed here, including the multi-used "He's behind you!" scenario. The gore in the death scenes only adds to the dire and obviously contrived premise of the film, and the whole thing builds to a sloppy and predictable conclusion. The characters are one-dimensional and you have absolutely no sympathy for them. The twist to the film is about the most exciting part, and that in itself is not very enthralling.

Brill, like the first one, but not so good. Barry and Helen (Ryan Phillippe and Sarah Michelle Gellar) died in the last one, so it's not so good, but still Great because it has Jennifer Love Hewitt in it, and she's one of my favourite Actresses! I hope they bring out another Sequal to it. :-)
