I Still Know What You Did Last Summer
Jennifer Love Hewitt (Party Of Five on TV) fans might
want to see I Still Know What You Did Last Summer but
there's little else to recommend this teen (early twenties)
slasher flick.
Apparently the original I Know What You Did Last
Summer did tty well at the box office, teenagers
fronting up for the sparse and cheap thrills that little
gem had to offer, but in the tried, and almost always
true, cinematic tradition, the sequel doesn't measure up.
In this series the slashing is done by a particularly
ridiculous fiend. He's no Freddy Kreuger. He's a
disgruntled fisherman in a hooded Sou'Wester, who was
mistakenly run down by some drunken teenagers and then
left for dead at the end of a pier.
But in I Still Know What You Did Last Summer we only
have a mysterious shape looming out of shadows, lunging
with a fish hook, bloodily impaling mostly good looking
Party Of Five types and then lugging the bodies off. The
squeaky violin sounds get a good work out, but it's all
so dictable.
The fisherman's face is hardly ever revealed, he
rarely speaks, you don't see much of him, he's pathetic
really, and that's a major problem with this uninspired
horror/thriller. The last half hour of I Still Know What
You Did Last Summer is fairly exciting when the blood
starts to really flow but don't bother with the rest.
