A sequel (doomed!) to 'I know what you did last summer' Sequels are never as good as the original -think 'Scream', 'Home Alone' and 'Halloween' etc. This film unfortunately is no different. If the original isn't all that great then the sequal has no chance anyway.
I know it's supposed to be a horror film, but I found parts of it hilarious. Heres the basic plot- in the original there is a group of teens who accidentally knock down a man think he's dead and throw him in the sea. The thing is he isn't and comes back for revenge. The only two survivors are in this sequel. Julie(Jennifer Love Hewitt) and Ray (Freddie Prince Jnr) and they are high school sweethearts. I won't tell you what happens in detail as it may spoil it for you if you haven't seen it already. They've tried to make this better by having more blood and gore but it doesn't save the film.
Brandy plays Karla, Julie's best friend in the film. The thing is none of the characters in the film are very convincing actors. Jennifer Love Hewitt comes across well as a paranoid teen in the beginning, but the rest of the time she's not that great. Another bad point about the film is that there's no mystery to who the killer may be. We are told quite early on. The guy who plays Brandys boyfriend is quite entertaining at times and cheers up dull moments.
However there's a lot of blood and gore in the film, so horror fanatics won't be disappointed! Check this film out if you like making fun of bad actors, or if you're a bloke who likes Hewitt. You will see a lot of her. The sunbed scene is a particular one for the guys.
Hewitt sings in this film (its soo funny!). It really made me laugh, its out of place in a horror/thriller film. If you haven't seen this film yet and like Hewitt then you have to see this.
P.S Does anyone know what the end was all about??! it was really strange, probably to leave the option open for another sequel (nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!)
