DVD Reviews of I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer
DVD Review: Worth the money, great series.
Summary: 4 Stars
Well, I loved the movies. It was great, and had a Scream/Urban Legend feel to it (that being essentially what it is). So, if you liked those film, go for this. Continuing the review...
First movie was great, a bunch of nice twists, and a feeling like this could actually happen, not a Friday the 13th or Nightmare on Elm Street rip-off at all. The killer is a living, breathing man who wants revenge for these kids hitting him with their car and leaving him for dead. Some pretty good death scenes. Featured some great actors: Jennifer Love Hewitt, scream queen Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, and Freddie Prinze, Jr.
Second movie: Hey, you just can't expect a sequel that's better than the first film. Once again, a feeling of realism in this movie, and there are some good kills. Once again stars Jennifer and Freddie.
Third movie: Pssh, this sucked. Essentially the first movie remade with a sequel's title. Yeah, NOW the Fisherman's a supernatural killing machine that can't be stopped. Okay kills, but this was just a movie that should never have seen the light of day.
Collection: Fairly good. No commentary, but all trailers are included. There may have been a 'Making of' for the third film, not sure. The first two discs have blank sides, one for widescreen and the other for full. The third has a cover, and is in wide-screen. So, if you're a horror buff like me, get it. If you have the first one or two, I wouldn't get it. But if you saw it in theatres, or never saw it before, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. I got mine at Wal Mart for 20-so bucks. Worth it for three films.
DVD Review: Spend the Money!
Summary: 5 Stars
A moving suspenseful thriller giving you a emotional rollercoaster ride that promise to entertain you with heart thumping sporadic action. The characters brings you right into the heart of the movie with professional role playing that you can expect only from a mega star.Buckle your mental seat belts because the fear will give you a rodeo ride of your life. A must see. Get the 2 other DVDS that gave life to this one. Then you will understand why everything that follow you is not only your shadow.DVD Review: Not too bad, but still rather poor
Summary: 2 Stars
Since about 2005 direct to video sequels have started to take off; while there is still a fan base for these movies it's not as strong as it once was so the DTV route is probably the best way to go. A lot has changed since the first 2 movies in the series and odds are a theatrical run would have been a flop. I'll Always Know was clearly produced on a lower budget than the previous 2, but that's not what hurt the movie.
I'll be honest I was never really a fan of this series, but I can tolerate the first one, but the 2nd was pretty much a big waste of time. The original was written by Kevin Williamson who at the time was red hot and with the success of Scream the teen slasher film made a nice comeback for a short while. I Know What You Did Last Summer was one of the better ones from that era, which isn't saying much since it was about average at best.
In many ways I'll Always Know is almost a remake of the original; if not for a very brief history on the previous 2 films this one bares no connection at all. The screenplay by Michael D. Weiss is nothing more than a rewrite of the original. It's almost the same exact movie; the characters are a like and portions of the plot are reused here. The script really isn't so bad, but not all that great either. Again it just takes the first movie and does a rewrite.
Director Sylvain White mostly works well with the limited budget he's given, but the suspense and tension is very much lacking through out. There are far too many clich?s and sometimes that help a movie, if you play up to them it can make it fun, but this is a straight up slasher and the clich?s bring it down. It's slasher movie 101. Sylvain White never really attempts at putting his own spin on things and does it by the book and pretty much copies the original film.
The biggest problem here is the lack of action; the first death in the movie results from a prank gone wrong, than after that 1 person who was involved gets killed. That death also comes in the first 70-minutes, which means the rest of the murder scenes come in during the final 20-minutes. Had there been some suspense and tension it wouldn't be a big deal at all, but with all that lacking it can get boring and again it's almost a remake of the original film and while the original film made for a decent suspense flick, this one however doesn't and is often just too slow paced.
One of the biggest faults of the movie is the terrible editing. I'll Always Know suffers from the quick cuts so many horror flicks use and quite honestly it almost never works and here it kills any possible tension, not that there was much to begin with, but any possible tension is ruined by the terrible quick cuts.
The cast for mostly unknowns don't do such a bad job; the acting is anything amazing, but it's not too bad. I actually quite liked Brooke Nevin as Amber. She was pretty much the Jennifer Love Hewitt character. Don Shanks best known for his role as Michael Myers in Halloween 5 steps into the role of the Fisherman and is very much under-used and the twist involving the character is quite idiotic.
If you're a fan of the series or at least the original I'll Always Know is worth a shot. For the rest of us this movie is better off being skipped. It serves as a decent time killer, but the end result is a slightly below average movie. I didn't hate the movie, but sure didn't like it and I'm in no rush to see it again. For fans only.

Summary: 1 Stars
The twist leading to the identity of the killer turned this thriller into a sci-fi horror. Awful sequel to an already mediocre franchise.
Description of I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer
A horrifying urban legend about a group of small town teens struggling to hide the truth of their role in their friends death as well as fighting off a mysterious menace who wants them all dead. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 06/24/2008 Starring: David Paetku Ben Easter Run time: 91 minutes Rating: RThe hook-wielding Fisherman returns in the third installment of the popular teen-horror franchise based on Lois Duncan's novel I Know What You Did Last Summer. Jennifer Love Hewitt, who top-billed the previous entries, is nowhere to be found in this film, and the action has been moved from a fishing village to a Colorado ski community where a gaggle of attractive teens led by Amber (Brooke Nevin) are wrapped up in a prank gone wrong which again results in an unfortunate death. The friends commit to keeping the accident silent, until they are plagued by mysterious messages that implicate them in the murder. What follows is the standard stalk-and-slash, with the Fisherman (played here by Don Shanks) dispatching the guilty parties with a modicum of bloody special effects, until the inevitable showdown. Director Sylvian White, an acclaimed music-video helmer, pulls out all the visual stops to deliver a "cutting edge" thriller, but the story itself was drained of any interest by the two previous films, and what's left is a empty exercise in flashy excess that may prove a passing entertainment for teen viewers seeking a good excuse to scream (and snuggle). The DVD includes a making-of featurette and an anemic, tech-minded commentary track by White. --Paul Gaita
