I Still Know What You Did Last Summer

Plot synopsis:
Julie James had just spent a harrowing summer running for her life and dealing with the brutal murders of Helen Shivers and Barry Cox, by a vengeful fisherman named Ben Willis. One year later, Julie has fled her hometown to attend college in Boston, and left the painful memories behind her. Karla Wilson (Brandy), Julies spunky friend and roommate, wins an all-expenses-paid Bahamas vacation for four on the Fourth of July weekend, if she can name the capital of Brazil. She answers "Rio", and is told that she is correct. Julie wants to invite her boyfriend Ray on the trip, but he declines. He's hurt by her refusal to visit him in Southport, where the murders took place the previous summer. Thus Julie, Karla, Tyrell, and their new friend Will Benson, head to the Bahamas. When they get there, they find that the other hotel guests are leaving because hurricane season has begun. Soon, several murders occur at the resort, and Julie is forced to tell the others about her past. Suspicion falls on the voodoo-practicing porter Estes, who is trying to protect them. It is revealed that the vacation was arranged especially for Julie, and Karla didn't really win anything because she answered the Brazil question incorrectly. Estes leads them to a graveyard site where Ben Willis' family is buried, and there is one tombstone that has Julies name, and the years written on it in blood, with an open hole, where Ben plans to dump her body in after he kills her. It turns out that another person of the Willis' family is alive. Will Benson is in fact Ben Willis' son, and he drags Julie away from the others after killing Estes, Tyrell and Nancy. Will takes Julie to his family's graveyard and introduces Julie to his father, Ben Willis. Julie didn't know Will was related to Ben Willis. The survivors attempt to hide in a small building, but this does not work. Ray arrives just as Ben catches up with Julie and Will. In the fight between Ray and Will, Ben accidentally stabs his son with his own hook. Then Ben Willis is shot with Ray's gun by Julie. Afterwards Ray and Julie are home, in their newly-purchased house. As Julie enters her bedroom and sits down on the bed, she looks in the mirror, leaning against the bottom part of her wall, and notices the fisherman under her bed. The film ends with Ben Willis grabbing Julie by the ankles and pulling her under her bed.

Review:
"I Still Know What You Did Last Summer" follows Julie (Jennifer Love Hewitt), who is still suffering from the memories of her friends' murders by a vengeful fisherman who she and her friends had accidentally hit with their car and disposed of his body, thinking him to be dead.
But soon enough, bodies begin to pile up on the mostly-deserted island (which is currently in it's storm season) all around Julie and her friends, and it seems the fisherman has returned.I considered the original "I Know What You Did Last Summer" to be a fairly good slasher movie that evolved during the late '90s.
It seems that way for a lot of horror movie sequels.Also, being no surprise, this film is almost beyond cliché-ridden.
The film ends with one of those "gotcha!" jump scares quite similar to the ending of the original, and puts a close on this series (unless you count the 2006 direct-to-video sequel that follow this) on a rather silly but fitting note.
The entire movie is a little far-fetched, but so what?Overall, I'd advise anyone who is tired of your run-of-the-mill slasher movies to avoid "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer" like the plague, because I can guarantee that they will be sorely disappointed.
Unlike many of the other posted comments, I found Brandy's performance to be very natural and entertaining and of course Love Hewitt is nice too look at too.The Mekhi Phifer character was too much of a boor and I kept hoping he would get the "hook" sooner than later.
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.
His style and obvious knowledge of Horror movies (as with the original) is a great benefit, and there are quite a few 'jumps' that work well.With Williamson unwilling to return to script a sequel, my main fear was that the script would be appalling if written by a newcomer.
Another welcome face (and one that spiced up the movie a little with his pompous hotel manager) is Jeffrey Combs, who is brilliant as the tight-lipped manager, and his death is a truly memorable and shocking moment (his subdued "Duh!" still cracks me up).The only disappointing thing about I Still Know...
Although it is handled well, and Love's final scream is one that is chilling to the extreme, it simply leaves the movie feeling unfinished.MY VERDICT: A worthy sequel that is given way too little credit for trying to be different.
Then we can have a scene where Jennifer Love Hewitt hears a noise, wanders..."If you are a fan of the old school slasher flicks such as Bodycount, Halloween, or the Friday the 13th's then you will be dissapointed with this films lack of entertaining grisly setpieces or inovation.
I do like watching the film though, for the nostalgia if nothing else.I was going to close with a question about the silliness and plot-holes of Julie James' (Jennifer Love Hewitt) visions/disillusions, but then I realised that it didn't matter (at the end of the day, it's a trashy slasher that you either go along with or you don't).
I Still Know What You Did Last Summer is good and very entertaining horror movie, but maybe not quite as good as part one.It works just fine as a sequel.In part one these four teens hit a fisherman with a car but the fisherman doesn't die and starts having his revenge for them.In part two the fisherman is back.In part two these four teens win a trip to Bahamas.And the fisherman, of course, is there too with his hook hand.And he kills everybody that is on his way.Jennifer Love Hewitt plays Julie James as she did also in the first part.Freddie Prinze Jr. is playing Ray Bronson like he did also in part one.But in thisone are two characters that weren't in the first part.Brandy Norwood is playing Julie's friend Karla Wilson and Mekhi Phifer plays Karla's boyfriend Tyrell Martin.So you can't see Sarah Michelle Gellar and Ryan Philippe in this, because they got killed in part one.And Muse Watson is playing  the hook hand fisherman Ben Willis.This film is fun to watch.I've heard there's going to be part 3.Can't wait to see that..
This movie was absolutely horrendous, an insult to the intelligence, without any wit, logic, or reason for being.Let's start with all the holes in the plot: How did Ben Willis know where Julie's boyfriend (Freddie Prinze Jr.) was going to be driving?
Is it me or did Jennifer Love Hewitt fire 7 or 8 rounds out of a 6-round revolver?As for the rest of the movie, it was a pathetic, cheesy attempt at providing an already poor film with a sequel!Comedy?
The only thing about it I didn't like was that you didn't get to hear Jennifer Love Hewitt singing more in the movie.She is my favourite singer and actress.She did an amazing job in the role of Julie James as did all the other characters in the movie.
Just go and have a good time with friends and don't think about things that were wrong like the supposed 7 firing revolver.
When they mean I Still Know What You Did Last Summer they are not referring to the hit and run they are referring to the whole him killing Helen and Barry and that whole thing that happened the summer before this movie takes place.
After her friends were murdered last summer, Julie James (Jennifer Love-Hewitt) has never been the same, still haunted by the guilt over her part in the killing of the fisherman her grades are dropping and her relationship is seriously strained.
In "I Still Know..", the actors act as if they are the real characters of the story.I do not see a reason why not to like the movie..
the first ten or so people he offed?7) The supposed huge plot twist was about as obvious as the fact that this movie is a poor, poor attempt to duplicate Scream.8) How the HELL did Jennifer Love Hewitt and Brandy get into the supposed great college they are enrolled in?
That is, when they're not skipping out to go to exotic tropical island locales.9) Does everyone ever believe a character in a horror movie who warns them of danger?10) How many times did Hewitt walk alone through an apartment/hotel room looking for someone she couldn't possibly have stopped if she had found them?11) Did Mekhi Peiffer have one line where he didn't sound like he was thinking with his groin?12) This movie will go toe to toe with Meet Joe Black for the top spot at the box office this weekend.13) People who like this kind of movie make me seriously reconsider universal suffrage.14) As many times as I correctly predicted what would happen half an hour before it did, I was looking for myself to be listed as director.15) Then I remembered a three year old could have predicted the plot.16) I'm damn glad I didn't pay to see this load of crap...17) ...
Ryan Phillippe was replaced by Mekhi Phifer (a sex maniac, bully-type-of-person), Jennifer Love Hewitt remained the same (a little less irritating to be honest), Freddie Prinze Jr. was actually a lot better than those puppy eyes that haunted me for 1 hour and 41 minutes last night, and Brandy took the best part like Sarah Michelle Gellar did.
It just shows how dumb people in horror movies are and it mocks Jennifer Love Hewitt's acting ability because she can do much better than a no brian body that runs around and gets very lucky in the end.
Those moments in this film were few.The only point of interest was Jennifer Love Hewitt, who once again looked good.
By this stage I was rolling my eyes and waiting for it to end.So, if you like films with very little suspense, a bit of gore, one twist that you could guess from the outset anyway, ridiculous nonsense storyline and fairly lame acting, watch this, you will love it.
At the time of its release, "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer" felt like a worst-case-scenario sequel to the unchallenging but satisfying original: The plot is little more than a retread of the first (albeit set in the Bahamas instead of North Carolina), the returning characters from the original are rather uninteresting, and the new ones are mostly irritating.
Jennifer Love Hewitt is no theatrical leading lady and Freddie Prinze Jr's momentary box office viability is a relic best left to the 1990s, and the movie struggles around its weak central performers, who are not helped by obnoxious series additions Brandy and Mekhi Phifer.
I liked the plot twist towards the end of the movie, I honestly didn't expect it, maybe I should have expected it, I don't know, but anyways, I for one enjoyed it.
The ending was very well done and pleased me, the last 35 minutes of this film are definitely the best, Chase scenes, falling through windows and glass, plot twists, I really enjoyed the last chapter of this movie.
Overall, I still know what you did last summer is not a gem or a perfect film, but it's fun and certainly a good time.
The hooked terror from "I Know What You Did Last Summer" continues is this sequel, cleverly titled "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer." Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddy Prinze Jr. returns as the girlfriend/boyfriend couple, albeit separated after the events in the previous film.
There are some chilling moments where it might make you cover your eyes, like in the scenes where you might expect to see the killer jump out on screen.Overall, not a bad horror sequel to watch and enjoy some popcorn at the same time.Grade B.
It's time to die."I Know What You Did Last Summer was a pleasant (is "pleasant" the right word for a slasher?) horror flick that did nothing remarkable or really new, but was an easy watch and turned out slightly better than average.
I Still Know What You Did Last Summer feels like a different movie from its predecessor.
I love it from opening scenes (Which i thought great) all the way to the end scene which i thought a classic ending done well.I found this movie had a little more tension in the movie then first and the death were up notch as well so more really creative and some could have be more gory with weapons the killer used, The only thing I did not like was how the movie gave way who the killer was, as there was just to much clues.The acting in this movie from some of cast were bit off here and there but the rest of the cast was really good.
One year after her friends were murdered Julie James (Jennifer Love Hewitt) is back in college trying to put the incident behind her but still disturbed by what happened, well it seems things are on the up she wins a trip to the Bahamas and goes there with a few friends, but things aren't right from the start firstly there's a tropical storm brewing and the island is practically empty and plus it seems that the vengeful Ben Wills (Must Watson) has followed her there and plans revenge on her once again.I really liked "I Know What You Did Last Summer" it had an interesting story to it and I was looking forward to the sequel.
I heard a lot of bad things about this sequel but I actually thought it was pretty good, although it doesn't have the good storyline or the same intelligence as the first it's still an enjoyable slasher movie.
Like most slasher movies it's run of the mill and some bits of this film did annoy me like the pointless dreams and the voodoo subplot which was rather lame and I really hated that fat white Jamaican guy why was he here, obviously just to get killed.Jennifer Love Hewitt does fine yet again and brings depth to her part, Freddy Prinze JR was actually better in this one and has more to do, Brandy Norwood is OK I loved her chase scenes they were wicked, Mekhi Phifer was also really good in his role and rather funny, Matthew Settle shows what he got in this role insecurity and vulnerability to a T.
I thought this movie would be just as good as the first one, i was wrong, it was a great movie, but shouldnt have been based on the sequel of "i know what you did last summer" i have seen both movies 200 times because they are great movies but just not as great as i would expected..
Wonderful for fans of Jennifer Love Hewitt & cheesy horror movies.
But, I don't think to many people expect a sequel to be better than the original, anyway.The movie has a stylish opening in a church confessional that provides an excellent means of re-capping the events of the first film, and provides a unique setting for a confrontation between the fisherman and Julie, the film's protagonist.When the above sequence turns out to be a dream, a clever throw-away line is spoken by a would-be admirer of Julie.
And in doing so, explained away the last scene in the original as being a dream, and not merely a forgotten plot point.The rest of the scenes in Julie's college town are a fine, quick introduction to the core ensemble of the film.The movie falters somewhat once it gets to its island getaway.
I have to say that Jennifer Love Hewitt's scene on the tanning bed was the highlight not only of this film, but of every movie I've seen this year.
He got most of the good lines and was the character I most identified with.Brandy, I expected to be annoying; however, she was perfectly fine in her role as Julie's friend.The biggest lost opportunity this movie had was the fact that it didn't really explain what happened to the fisherman's hand at the end of the first film.
But I would recommend it really only to fans of Jennifer Love Hewitt or cheesy horror movies.My rating:  a 8.5 out of 10.p.s.
Julie James goes off to an island vacation with her friend, only to have a run in with that killer fisherman again.Rather needless sequel to the 1997 hit I Know What You Did Last Summer, pretty much plays out like your ordinary slasher-fest.
OK, at the outset let me say something: I LOVE bad horror movies, I HATE when Hollywood makes a horror film with well known actors and a substantial budget.
I STILL KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER (1999) *Starring: Jennifer Love Hewitt, Brandy, Freddie Prinze Jr., Mekhi Phifer, Muse Watson, Matthew Settle, and Bill Cobbs Directed by Danny Cannon.
"I Still Know What You Did Last Summer" is also on that list because it is a run of the mill slasher movie that isn't scary and isn't funny.I like the idea of people trapped on an island with a killer on the loose ("Ten Little Indians"?), but even that fell flat with a rash of boring characters and predictable chills.
Julie James' best friend wins tickets to the Bahamas and so they go down there with their boyfriends (Jennifer Love Hewitt, Brandy Norwood, Mekhi Phifer & Matthew Settle).
***SPOILERS*** Blood drenched and fishy sequel of the slasher hit "I know what you did last summer" with the crazed one armer fisherman back for an encore who's targeting the busty & beautiful Julie James played by Jennifer Love Hewitt who, among those that ran him down, was responsible for his hit & run "death".
Jennifer Love Hewitt acts very well in this horror-film.
Original film, that was poor, the sequel well no suprises.People picked off one by one, Brandy won't die and the nice quite guy is the killers father!!!.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzBest bit of the film, Jennifer Love Hewitts body in the tight tops!!!But give this a miss, you will thank me for it!!.
The acting was good if not better than the first and this one definitely had more spunk.I recommend this movie to anyone who liked the first one.
It's the worst ending I've ever seen, personally.The acting is great and is a good movie, but much more intense.I recommend it if you've seen the first one, though I think it could have been better..
There is hardly a plot except people getting killed on an island by a man with a hook.The kill scenes are not scary and there is not one part in the movie where you would be on the edge of the seat or feel like screaming.
The acting in the movie was hopeless, Jennifer Love Hewitt's and Freddie Prinze Jr. acting skills have gone down since the first one.I loved the original and gave it 9/10 but this sequel sucked and I give it 0/10.
Jennifer Love Hewitt is so annoying in this movie.
Plot was good (better in the first) and I like how they explained the ending of the original.
I like this film very much,  Jennifer Love Hewitt gives sexy and appealing performance.
Kevin Williamson's Writing is sorely missed and would be the only thing that could save this franchise from becoming I SORTA KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER BUT I"M GOING TO KILL YOUR FRIENDS AND EVERYONE ELSE ANYWAY It's a Fun Film but Scream it ain't..
I felt bad through the whole thing that someone as fine as Jennifer Love Hewitt was stuck in this awful film.
I liked the original movie well enough, but this sequel was a total disappointment.
Some movies have some of this and others like I know has MANY.
Jennifer Love Hewitt was good but the rest was pretty bad, and all the scenes where she was looking through each room became very repetitive very fast.
