Why We Rated This off for Ages 16 and Under

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    While heroine Julie struggles with her conscious a little bit over covering up deadly indiscretions in her past, there's really not even the token soul-searching that went on in the previous film. Her black best pal pretends to be tough and assertive, but when faced with a maniacal killer she mostly screams and falls down a lot. West-Indian islanders are domestics who exist only to be ominous or slain or both.

  • Violence:

    Bloody impalings (two characters are skewered on the same knife), death by gaffing-hook, vicious beatings, shootings.

  • Sex:

    Characters talk about sex but never get around to doing it. A joke scene makes it appear that strenuous bedroom action is happening, when it's just a character jumping up and down on the mattress little-girl-style.

  • Language:

    Abundant profanity.

  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Recreational drinking. Comic-relief character of a marijuana-smoking island handyman, or something, whose sole function seems to be there smoking joints and offering to hook the characters up with dope of their own.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About I Still Know What You Did Last Summer

Parents need to know that despite the upscale production values and name cast, this is a pretty violent wallow. Characters are killed in bloody closeup, usually with sharp instruments, and much of the alleged entertainment derives from terrorizing a young woman.

    GREAT MOVIE JUST BAD FOR KIDS UNDER THE AGE OF 15

    This movie has bloody killings, shootings, and other violent acts. There is some sexual content, there is unnessasary langage. While the ruthless Ben Willus hunts down Julie she does have stong Social Bevahior.This movie will be a great exepernce for people over the age of 15 and even greater for people over the age of 17.
