"I Still Know What You Did Last Summer" is the sequel to the very popular teen horror "I Know What You Did Last Summer." Both Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr play their original characters, Ray and Julie however this time there's also the added bonus of Brandy and the new talent Mekhi Phifer.
The story is based around Julie and Ray escaping death in the previous film after almost killing Ben Willis and then covering it up. In this film Ben is back to get his wish and kill them both, no matter how many people die as a result. "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer" is full of extra twists to make an over all successful film.
However as I'm in the DVD section it is more important to be discussing the added features. I bought the film on region 2 as a wide screen presentation for £14-99, which is fairly reasonable as far as DVD's are concerned. All of the features are very easy to access. Once the DVD is inserted into a player the menu screen automatically loads up. All of the options appear on the screen and the menu can easily be accessed at any point in the film by pressing the menu key.
As expected it has multiple language subtitles and language choice. The choices even range as far as Hebrew! It also has scene selection so that you can jump to any part of the film at the click of a button. In this part of the menu each chapter is given a title and a small picture so it's easy to see which part of the film it is referring to. Even though this feature is available on almost all DVD's I find it essential in my viewing. For example if you watch part of the film and forget to mark the DVD at the place you get to you simply go to the scene selections and pick the chapter you require.
Included on the DVD is a music video. This is of one of the songs featured in the film and Jennifer Love Hewit herself performs it. So an extra added bonus for any males. The song is fairly good and there are cl
ips of the film included with it.
Two theatrical trailers are included, the English and American versions. I questioned the purpose of these to begin with but it's quite interesting to see why you were attracted to the film in the first place. However I'd probably say that are more of a disadvantage than an advantage as obviously they show about three minutes of the best parts of the film, so the rest doesn't seem as good.
Finally there are filmographies and a behind the scenes featurette. I feel that both are somewhat of a let down. The filmographies obviously for fill the criteria but they are pretty boring unless you are particularly interested in one of the actors/actresses. The behind the scenes featurette is fairly short and shows clips from the film more than clips from behind the scenes!
The sound and picture quality are excellent and shows a clear difference between DVD and ordinary videotapes. I even connected my hifi to my DVD player and it was like being at the cinema with the amazing quality. Over all this DVD is a good buy, especially for £14-99. It's of a high quality, includes the expected and more added material and of course the film itself is a bonus.
