Our honest review of I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (1998) breaks down its scares, pacing, and whether this horror movie truly stands the test of time.
I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (1998) is an American mystery thriller horror movie that is a sequel to the 1997 film I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997). Director Danny Cannon (CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (2000), CSI: Miami (2002), Nikita (2010), CSI: NY (2004)) is a fantastic director but failed with this movie. I do not think any director could have saved this torturous screenplay and made it into anything remotely entertaining.
Julie James (Jennifer Love Hewitt - Ghost Whisperer (2005), I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997), Can’t Hardly Wait (1998)) dreams of fisherman Ben Willis while sleeping in class. She woke up screaming in class because she thought he was coming after her - she remembered what she helped her friends do to him. Julie was not even in her hometown Southport taking classes because of the tragic deaths of her friends last summer. She decided to study in Boston to escape her nightmares, but they followed her. Skip some events, Julie and her friends win tickets they should not have won and embark on an adventurous getaway, or so they think. After a few more events, Julie started singing karaoke at a bar and stopped when the words, "I STILL KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER," were shown on the screen. The Dead fisherman Ben Willis (Muse Watson - Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999), I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997), Assassins (1995)) is at their hotel and plans on killing everyone. Watch the movie to know what happens next and who dies.
I don’t particularly appreciate it when money is wasted on mediocre movies that do not entertain most movie lovers. Once again, I feel such money should be donated to charities and organizations that help the needy and states in disasters. The money spent on this scary movie could have fed so many people in poverty-stricken countries - it is a shame. On another note, I cannot say one good thing about this movie. I would have given this movie a zero if I could, but since I cannot, it receives a repulsive one from me.
