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

  • What's it about?: After a prank leads to some guy's death, his friends, who have no connection to anything from the first two movies mind you, swear to take it to their grave. A year later and bodies start dropping.
  • Thoughts: This is so much worse than the last two. I care about these teens even less and the movie has no connection to the other ones, other than a guy dressed up as a fisherman killing people with a hook. The twist at the end has to be one of the most assinine ones I've ever seen.
  • Rating: 2/10
  • Recommendation: Not Recommended
  • Tier: F

I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (1998)

  • What's it about?: A year after the first movie, Jennifer Love Hewitt is now suffering from PTSD from what happened. She and her friends win a trip to the Bahamas where she tries to get over it, but then bodies start dropping. 
  • Thoughts: It's still just ok. Still can't really bring myself to care about anyone, not even the Jack Black character. The villain's whole plan seems kinda convoluted and unnecessary.
  • Rating: 6/10
  • Recommendation: Maybe
  • Tier: C
Minor Characters
Titus
Jack Black
A pothead who creeps around on the island.

Other notable actors: Jennifer Love Hewitt, Brandy, Freddie Prinze Jr., Bill Cobbs, Muse Watson, Jeffrey Combs

I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997)

  • What's it about?: A group of friends hit a guy with their car. They throw him in the ocean and swear to take it to their graves but a year later it comes back to haunt them.
  • Thoughts: It's ok. As with a lot of teen horrors, I didn't really find myself caring enough about many of the characters, even with Buffy the Vampire Slayer as one of them. 
  • Rating: 6/10
  • Recommendation: Maybe
  • Tier: C
Notable Actors: Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Freddie Prinze Jr., Johnny Galecki, Muse Watson

Bongwater (1998)

  • What's it about?: A weed dealer (Luke Wilson) and a crazy chick get into a brief relationship and then breakup. We then watch as they go on their separate journeys.
  • Thoughts: It's ok. I can't really bring myself to care about the main relationship, it just seems a bit toxic. Also there doesn't seem to be much pacing, I just feel like I'm wandering aimlessly while watching this. The soundtrack is cool though, especially the song Jack Black sings.
  • Rating: 6/10
  • Recommendation: Maybe
  • Tier: C
Supporting Characters
Devlin
Jack Black
Luke Wilson's friend who runs a stoner retreat in the woods.
