When I saw that I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer was a direct to DVD release two questions popped into my head: 1) Why would they release a sequel to a popular slasher series to DVD and 2) Who the hell actually heard of this one? I ended up adding this one to my spooky season slate mainly since I was going to check out the first two, might as well do this one. So, I checked out the trailer and I had a feeling it wasn't going to be nearly as good as the first movie.
And, this is definitely the weakest of the three. With how cheap the movie looks, you can tell they didn't have a huge budget to work with and the editing of some shots were terrible. There really isn't any suspense at all and the third movie is just downright bland!
SPOILER WARNING!! SPOILER WARNING!! The ending of this one is just the worst. Ben Willis, the killer from the first two movies who was actually killed in the second one somehow comes back in this one, only in a supernatural/zombie form. When I first saw the ending, I had to pause it and backtrack it just to make sure I was actually seeing that the filmmakers went the supernatural route. And yep they did!! I was hoping that it was just something that one of the characters were seeing, but nope ...
