A year after killing vengeful hit-and-run victim Ben Wills (Muse Watson), who gutted her friends with an iron hook, college student Julie James (Jennifer Love Hewitt) is still shaken by the experience. When her roommate, Karla (Brandy), wins a vacation for four to the Bahamas, she plans to bring along her boyfriend, Tyrell (Mekhi Phifer), attractive Will (Matthew Settle) and Julie. At the resort, Julie starts receiving threatening notes and realizes Ben is still alive.

Critics Consensus

Boring, predictable, and bereft of thrills or chills, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer is exactly the kind of rehash that gives horror sequels a bad name.

This followup to last year's successful teens-in-jeopardy opus piles on the chills, thrills and body count.

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.

Too dumb to function ... Sure, the body count increases, but I Still Know What You Did Last Summer is even less focused, almost entirely targeting random hotel employees.

This year's follow-up is predictable but better than the original.

3/5

It works as the horror-movie equivalent of a college party: bigger, louder and more absurd than the original, and best enjoyed with your brain switched all the way off.

After watching the first movie I didn't have high hopes for the movie apart, especially not when it comes to the killer. It's a horror movie you can watch with your brain turned off.

Riding the late‑’90s/early‑2000s teen slasher wave, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer tries to turn Lois Duncan’s simple 1973 story into a franchise. Julie James is still coping with the past, her relationship is strained, and—after hilariously missing the capital of Brazil—she and friends win a vacation to an island resort during storm season. Naturally, the hook‑wielding killer returns, with a familiar twist about their identity. IKnow 2 is dumb fun, elevated by darker humor from Tyrell (Mekhi Phifer) and comic relief Titus Telesco (Jack Black). It’s pure baloney, so don’t take it seriously—none of these slashers from that era did. If you enjoy Scream-style teen horror, it’s an easy 100‑minute watch. With the franchise revival looming in 2025, it works as a nostalgic catch‑up, though casual viewers can skip straight to the reboot.
