I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer (2006)

Summary: Amber and her friends are just trying to enjoy their last year together before they go their separate ways. Unfortunately someone ends up dead and they decide to keep the secret they know, to protect their own futures. However, one year later, a mysterious fisherman starts to stalk and prey on them and they better run and hide before they end up dead.           Overall: Outside of the names and a few small plot points, this film is identical to the first film. Ok, my summary left out the part where they knew who the kid was who died because of the prank…but watch this film…and you can practically see these same identical pieces of dialogue uttered by Ryan Phillippe. This film just absolutely rips the first film off, in a big way. No question, they have the same type of characters, including the one sorta friend who knows something but the group of 4 tries to threaten him anyway (ala Johnny Galecki). Then when the twist/killer gets revealed…it’s one of these reveals where you sorta praying they weren’t actually revealing what they did. You hit the dvd remote and utter “Are you kidding me?”           Now, the back-story is that this film was planned for Jennifer Love Hewitt and whomever else...but got shelved and forgotten about. But tell me…if you aren’t brining any original cast back, why make this film? It’s an awful film that just embarrasses the first 2 films, and the 2nd film wasn’t very good either. But I’m gonna call out director Sylvain White and the 5 listed producers of the film: Amanda Cohen, Erik Feig, Nancy Kirhoffer, Neal H. Moritz, & Jefferson Richard. People...what the hell were you thinking???? What possessed you to think that this was a good idea??? The film is awful, the acting is substandard…but that’s not your sin. It’s the awful copied dialogue and the just downright absurd thought that this film was a good idea. I sure hope they made their money back...hell I hope they didn’t…this movie should be the kind of mistake people get fired for. Sure, it’s direct to video and I don’t actually know another living being who so much as even knew this film existed…let alone took the time to rent it. Because you can’t buy this film. No one can seriously justify spending their grocery or rent/mortgage money on this movie. You can’t sit there with your browser open and tell me you purchased this and did so in good faith. Sylvain should be embarrassed to so much as have his name connected to this movie, let alone actually appeared on the set each day.           I’m ashamed for them all...Take the money you spent and send it to victims of Hurricane Katrina or Cancer Research or fight AIDS. Hell, I could understand the money better spent on some cheesy California Ballot Proposition...           Sorry folks...I just wanna bitch-slap them all. But then they’d wanna film it for the 4th film and send the Fisherman’s grandkids after me!           Comparison: IKWYDLS meets Final Destination 3
