David Roggenkamp "I Know What You Did Last Summer" spawns a related sequel in typical horror movie fashion. What was supposed to be a death and cover-up in the last film, comes back to haunt the town inhabitants in this sequel. What starts out as a prank the year after the original, quickly turns into horror as one of the teenagers involved dies. They slowly, in typical teen slasher fashion, get picked off one by one until only two are left and survive – again in typical teen slasher fashion.What makes this movie so good is the fact that the teenagers involved, attempt to leave the past behind them and get on with their lives. This works quite well, until one of the teenagers, now an adult, is back from California, weird text messages and other events remind them of their grizzly prank gone awry, and now they are forced to deal with it. Clearly everyone must form a bond of trust with people they otherwise do not trust – anyone could be the suspect and anyone of them could die at any time.Unlike in previous teen slasher installments, this one pulls a few one shots that work quite well – the fisherman that is after them uses a hook to perform the murders and nothing else; this same hook is his demise as it seems to be able to inflict heavy damage to him, when otherwise guns and other methods of fatal wounds have no such effect. Several times throughout this movie, the hunted soon turn into the attacker as they try to take down the menace that would otherwise threaten their lively hoods – rare for a movie, especially the teen slasher genre. This however, is no thriller, as there is only suspense for the audience and lots of anxiety for the victims involved.Originally posted to Orion Age (http://www.orionphysics.com/? p=4618).

Jackson Booth-Millard The original Jennifer Love Hewitt film is obviously the only good one in the series, the sequel also with Hewitt was rubbish, and I was sure this third film straight to DVD instalment would be bad as well, directed by Sylvain White (Stomp the Yard, The Losers). Basically on July 4th, in the small town of Broken Ridge, Colorado, teenagers Colby Patterson (David Paetkau), his girlfriend Amber Williams (Brooke Nevin) and their friends Zoe Warner (Torrey DeVitto), Roger Pack (Seth Packard) and P.J. Davis (Clayton 'Clay' Taylor) are at a town carnival. At the carnival entertaining park they decide to play a prank, using the legend of the Fisherman that appears on July 4th to stalk and kill teenagers with dark secrets with his hook. They are successful in scaring a number of the people attending, however the prank gets out of hand and goes wrong when P,J. is performing a trick jumping with his skateboard, and an unexpected accident occurs, when P.J.'s body is found impaled on a pipe, the public believe it to the be the Fisherman behind the death, so Colby convinces the others to burn the evidence and make a pact that the secret will die with them. A year later, Amber receives 50 identical text messages on her cellphone, from an unknown number, saying "I Know What You Did Last Summer", she automatically gathers that this is referring to the accidental death they caused. Amber goes in search of Zoe and Roger, and Colby who she parted with, to find out if they told anyone else about what they said they would take to the grave, all have moved on into different career and personal circumstances, none of them have said anything to anyone, however P.J.'s cousin Lance (Ben Easter) also knows what they did somehow. Soon enough the situation gets worse when a man dressed as the real Fisherman wearing the dark slicker is chasing the teenagers with a hook to kill each of them, the killer is towards the end revealed to be the decomposed Ben Willis (Don Shanks), the man who brutally committed the original murders ten years ago, but even shoving his head into a thresher doesn't stop him reappearing a year later as the Fisherman to kill last survivor Amber. Also starring K.C. Clyde as Deputy Hafner, Michael Flynn as Sheriff Davis, Brittanie Nicole 'Britt' Leary as Kim and Star LaPoint as Kelly. The story may not be repeating what was seen in the previous two films, it is a completely new story as teenagers accidentally kill someone in different circumstances, and the gore created by the killer stalking the teens is still the hook, but it has a silly and rushed script, lame acting and a predictable plot, it's just another daft (more so than the second) sequel, a dreadful horror. Pretty poor!

Angelus2 A group of teenagers play a prank that goes horribly wrong and results in the death of a friend, however only they know the truth that it was a prank...But a year later it seems that someone knows about what happened.I watched this when it went straight to DVD, simply because of Torrey Devitto. Compared to other slasher movies it actually gives you the 'slashing' element of the film, there is blood and gore, spooky calls in the middle of the night. Yes, the acting could be better, but the ensemble is relatively new to acting in an actual movie...so, I'll let it slide. Brooke Nevin is definitely the scream Queen, at times her scream is terrifying enough.A satisfactory slasher movie.

Raul Faust Much like "Urban Legend", this movie follows the idea of people dying because of a destiny that themselves have built. No matter what they do, where they run for or who they ask help to, the legend monster will catch you. If the idea of the movie wasn't clichéd and used in lots of movies in past years, this film would've been great. The suspense is (almost) scareable and again the mystery involves the spectator into the thriller. By the way, am I the only one who found the killer's face just like Freddy Krueger's?But of course I'm not expecting a sequel for it. Actually I'm hoping for it to not happen, in respect for all of us who don't stand sequels.
