Rish Outfield's reviews
I prefer calling this film "I Still Know," but why am I telling you this? Though not as clever, well-done, or scary as the original, this sequel wasn't all that bad. True, Julie James was dumber, and the killer was indiscriminate and unfrightening, and everything seemed more contrived and less believable, but there were a couple of good jump-scares, a great sequence or two, some nice humour, and most importantly, Jennifer Love Hewitt got into a bikini (now THAT was contrived!). The film portrayed Hewitt as disturbed (a trend started in the first film and continued in Scream 2 and Halloween:H20) and paranoid, although the end of the first film found her relaxed and happy. Hewitt's a likable, angelic beauty--easily my favourite babe of the week. Freddie Prinze Jr. was back as Julie's dopey boyfriend Ray, but he doesn't have so much to do this time around. The death scenes were fun and diverse (who knew you could kill someone so many different ways armed with a hook?), One revelation is at least surprising, and the story could have been worse. But intelligent and sympathetic characters, good dialogue, and the boldness/seriousness of the first film were what kept this from being a great film. I never thought Julie or Ray would die, and realised early on that Brandy wouldn't either (what was up with that? Did the killer just decide, "Well, I like that ‘Moesha' show too much, I think I'll just let her go"?). Too often horror movies play it safe, and good horror is all about NOT being safe. They wrote the ending of the first film off as a dream (we all knew they would), and that cost them a lot of credibility, especially with this film's finale. So, it's worth seeing (especially with an energetic audience), but not a keeper.
Best Scare: I liked the karaoke scene, but Brandy's boyfriend's death was the winner.
I'd Recommend It To: Those who loved the first film, but I'd tell them not to expect its equal.

The tyranist's thoughts
It is hard not to hate the title of this movie before you ever see it. The fortunately the movie isn't that terrible and is a semi-worthy sequel to the original. There are a pile of things that bugged me during I Still Know, but most of them were in retrospect. I say it is worth seeing on the big screen, but it is probably not a keeper.
