The supposed Scream
renaissance of the hip slasher flick lasted, well, honestly, only about
halfway through the first Scream. Though
I Still Know
does have a deft way with topical references, this film would have been
third billed on a drive-in screen twenty years ago.
All of the hoary
old clichés rear their ugly heads here. It's an hour and a half of
beautiful, stupid teenagers pairing off and then getting sliced and
diced by a mysterious, dull stranger. In fact, the characters'
dumbness even becomes a major plot point when five college students get
into danger because not even one of them realizes that Brasilia is the
capitol of Brazil, not Rio De Janeiro.
The only reason this
film is at all worth seeing is to keep track of all the ways the writers
are able to come up with to get Jennifer Love Hewitt into a towel or wet
t-shirt. Now, that's entertainment!
