I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer

Product Description ------------------- The latest installment in the "I Know What You Did Last Summer" horror franchise which focuses on a seemingly harmless Fourth of July prank that ends in the unexpected death of a friend of four teens (Amber, Colby, Zoe, Roger and PJ) from Broken Ridge, Colorado. The friends make a pact to keep the death a secret from the authorities, despite one's desperate protest. Over the course of the following year, the four teens find their friendships horribly strained from keeping the secret. As the next Fourth of July approaches, the four teens all find themselves being victimized by a mysterious menace. The friends try to survive and figure out the identity of their tormentor before they end up dead themselves. .com ---- The 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 accled 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
