Aroview: Neve Campbell and friends get revisited by another round of cell-phone threats, masked stalkers and spotty, self-referential jokesters.

It's fun in a guess-who-the-killer-is kinda way, but conforms perfectly to the sequel model by feeling predominantly second hand. A bland new cast, too, with only Courteney Cox and David Arquette also surviving the first one. We reckon I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER is in fact more of a scream.
