When her roommate, Karla (Brandy Norwood), wins a trip for four to a tropical island, everything seems to be fine. That changes during a seemingly harmless karaoke session, however, when instead of lyrics a menacing message appears on the teleprompter to return the horror to Julie's life. It's not long before the bodies start piling up, and she once again finds herself facing the wrong end of the knife--but this time, she's far from the comforts of home! [More]

Reviews for I Still Know What You Did Last Summer
There are enough jolts to unsettle, and a chilling music score, but too many bloodied bodies and screaming, and the filmmaker is constantly telling us how to feel.
Needless to say, logic takes a holiday, just not in the Bahamas. [Blu-ray]
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.
This followup to last year's successful teens-in-jeopardy opus piles on the chills, thrills and body count.
Heartfelt thanks must go out ... to actor Jeffrey Combs, whose brief, amusing appearance is the only reason this loser doesn't get a zero-star rating.
The attractive youngsters run, scream, declare that this can't be happening and repeat as necessary.
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.
Neither Trey Callaway, who wrote the script, nor Danny Cannon, who directed the sequel, bring any new ideas to the genre. Cut 'em some slack: That surely was their marching orders.
A more appropriate title would be Who Cares What You Did Last Summer.
The only thing terrifying about this clunker is the thought of having to sit through it.
A better-than-average slasher movie is that it understands exactly the sorts of cheap thrills its audience is looking for and delivers them with a minimum of distraction and a maximum of energy.
When I heard the sequel's title, I strongly considered resigning this post.
I was more afraid of what was in my popcorn's butter-flavoring than I was of what was up on the screen.
