BluRay - Decent Improvement Over Original
Added 7/16/2009
Being a ginormous fan of the I Know series, I had to buy this on Blu Ray when it came. Part 1 is surprisingly a very good transfer to Blu Ray and certainly worth the repurchase/upgrade. I Still Know is a little iffier. The picture quality is certainly improved, but not substantially so. My recommendation would be to stick with the original DVD version unless you're a rabid fan of the movie, as I am.

I still know . . . this is an underrated sequel
Added 3/19/2009
I Still Know What You Did Last Summer is a very good sequel to the hit 1997 movie I Know What You Did Last Summer and, in my opinion, is a very under-rated movie. Instead of making this movie almost exactly the same as the origional, as most horror-movie-makers seem to do, this movie has a totally different setting to the first - a holliday resort in the bahamas!
Julie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) and her best friend and roommate Karla (Brandy) win a radio compition and win a holliday for four to the bahamas. Karla takes her boyfriend Tyrell (Mekhi Phifer) and Julie takes her new love interest Will (Matthew Settle). The arrive and check into their hotel (which I admitt, was a bit of an unrealistic point of the film as there are only five or six staff members and seemingly no other guests, however it is the "off-season").
Julie begins to relax, enjoying the luxury and relaxation of the hotel, but, unknown to Julie and her friends, the body count is rising and its not long before those awaited words "I Still Know..." appear and once again Julie must face the wrath of Ben Willis.
Just as good as the orgional, this movie is not one to miss. It is as scary as the orgional and a bit gorier too. This movie also features an appearance from Jack Black and Ray (Freddy Price Jr) is also back.
I would highly reccomend this movie especially if you enjoyed the origional.

A watered down mess.
Added 11/3/2008
"I Still Know What You Did Last Summer" is the sequel to "I Know What You Did Last Summer". While the original wasn't terrible, the sequel was. Basically, in this rather poor sequel, Jennifer Love Hewitt's character goes with some of her friends to the Bahamas, and someone apparently still knows what she and her friends did last summer, and it looks like he/she decided to follow her to the Bahamas--or something stupid like that.
Once again, like the original, the revelation of the killer was poorly done in the sequel. However, unlike the original, there was virtually no suspense in the sequel, and the ending of this film simply solidified this movie as being complete garbage. While the first wasn't particularly good, this sequel was just plain boring. At least the original was somewhat suspenseful until the revelation of the killer basically ruined the movie, but this sequel has basically nothing to offer. That said, I have sadly seen worse.
Severely lacking in originality and basically just a weaker extension of the first, the sequel suffers from a lack of dynamic characters as well as a predictable and stale storyline and a dull and lifeless script. The acting is severely lacking in quality in this film, and the result is a watered down mess of a so-called slasher film. With this sequel, it's not that the plot is so bad as it is that that the movie just seems pointless. I mean, they didn't do anything different or better than they did before. I guess they just wanted to cash in on another teeny sequel, but for the serious horror movie viewer, it's a complete waste of time.

Pointless
Added 7/29/2008
I STILL KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER is a huge let down. Julie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) & her new best buddie Karla (Brandy) win a holiday to the Bahamas. Once there they are stranded after a hurricane warning. The fisherman shows up & starts slicing & dicing.
The sequel is nowhere near the same level as the original. Also the style is different. I KNOW was a clever build-up of tension. I STILL KNOW is all about needless gore, bikinis, tight clothes & cheap scare tactics.
I'll be fair and say that I wasn't bored by I STILL KNOW, the jumps did get me & when the action started I was drawn in to the drama. The film was OK, but it's a let down after seeing what was done first.
The thriller versus the slasher. There is a huge difference. Judge for yourself.

entertaining, but dont expect this to be scary
Added 7/24/2008
i really liked the first I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER and even though this sequal isent scary in the slightest, it still entertains.
good points:
-great ending (5/5)
-pretty good acting (3/5)
-smart title
bad points:
-the first thing you will notice in this movie is the overly dramatic music, which i think is a little over done, compared to the first
-the fact that evry time someone opens a door ( for no apparent reasen)
a dead body falls out. by the 3rd time im like "dont bother, theres a dead body in there". this gets really old by the end

Mindless fun
Added 7/29/2008
If you're expecting originality you'll be disappointed. If you're expecting a faithful adaptation of the superb book this is based on you'll be let down. If you just want to sit down to enjoy a entertaining movie, that is well-acted (the supporting cast (Bridgette Wilson in particular) do as good a job as Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Philippe & Freddie Prince Jr.) you've come to the right page.
Four friends run over a man & dump his dead (?) body into the ocean after their drunken 4th July celebrations. One year later almost to the day, one of the friends receives a letter & the game is on. As it draws to 4th July the letters escalate to hair cutting, disappearing bodies & hit and runs.
I must mention that the main `stalk n slash' scene is gripping, edge-of-your-seat stuff. I wouldn't really call I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER a slasher though; it's more of a suspense thriller. The film focuses revenge.
The film relies on tension & building suspense instead of blood and gore, like classics such as HALLOWEEN. I'm not saying that I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER is on that level, but it is well done. The film is better then it's chief comparison SCREAM because it seems more realistic.

i know what you did for a payday!
Added 6/28/2006
these two movies are bottom of the barrel "slice and dice" movies and don't stand the true test of a good horror movie,do i want to see it again?(not on your life)! to be kind the first"summer" does show some sparks at first but soon settles into grab bag of every horror shock trick in the book. the actors try hard,but they just can't get past the hackend script and the lifeless direction!
"still" is worse than the first and even goes so far as to making great leaps over plot holes just to get to the gore!
skip it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The first is better then the second...
Added 4/19/2006
...I Know were you did Last Summer was a good movie. About 4 friends who hit a man and since they thought he was dead (and didn't want to get into trouble) they droupped him to the bootom of and ocean. The following summer, they are begin stalked by someone who knows what they did...who could it be?
I Still Know What You Did Last Summer was good too. Julie made new friends in college, and are taking a trip to the Bahamas. The weather is horrible, raining all day; the resort in empty, except for a few employees; and someone still knows what Julie did a few summers before.
All in all, these were good movies. They are not scary scary, but it does have it's moments that you will jump. I think that the first one is somewhat better then the second; but this does not mean that the second one is bad. I usually always feel in in a sequal or tridigy (whatever the case may be) the first one is better; it starts you off. Without the first movie, there wouldn't be a second or third. I'm probably not explaining it correctly, but I like the first one better.
Enjoy!
