The film isn't horrifying. The acting is horrifying.

"I Still Know What You Did Last Summer" is a harmless, but incredibly pointless sequel/follow-up to the unexpected hit "I Know What You Did Last Summer." These films are what I'd refer to as "bubble gum" horror. They use semi-stars, pop music, slick set design and throw in artificial horror/anxiety designed to mainly scare the sheltered teen who actually has no clue what really horror is yet. Hmmmm. That sounded judgmental, but oddly enough I'm okay with that.

This film, starring the likes of Freddie Prinze, Jr., Jack Black, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Mekhi Phifer, Bill Combs and Jennifer Esposito among others is basically a retread of the first film with fewer novelties, fewer scares and a significant increase in ridiculousness. This second film, while basically treading the same water as the first, doesn't have near the plot/storyline (not that the first was brilliant), and simply drags way more often and director Danny Cannon falls back on violence and gore, which is over-the-top compared to the first film.

To dignify this film with a lengthy review seems pointless. I could go into the storyline, but if the director didn't care about story why should I? The simple fact is the dialogue here is tripe, the characters were nearly all unsympathetic and the performances lifeless and boring. I still know what I did last Summer. I wasted two hours watching this film.
