VarietyLeonard Klady
Purists will find the pic's obviousness disappointing, but there's no question that the film delivers a sufficient shock quotient to satisfy its youthful target audience. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyOwen Gleiberman
Lacks even the good, guilty setup of "I Know What You Did Last Summer" -- the sense that the heroes are fleeing the consequences of their own crime. Read full review

EmpireDarren Bignell
Never quite as witty as it should be. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesKevin Thomas
A fairly silly and ultra-gory schlocker/shocker. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Liam Lacey
A lazy, hasty effort that offers little beyond a few jack-in-the-box startles and a high body count, including Hewitt's bouncing about in a shirt half-unbuttoned over a bikini top. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonagh
The less you demand of this bloody, by-the-numbers sequel, the more you'll enjoy it. Read full review

Film ThreatRon Wells
It lacks humor. Unlike "Scream", this film is more of a horror-drama, with everybody taking themselves way too seriously. Read full review

The A.V. ClubNathan Rabin
There's gore aplenty here, but precious little suspense or terror. Read full review

Washington PostStephen Hunter
More in the dumb and dumber tradition of "Halloween" and "Friday the 13th" sequels. Read full review

New York Daily NewsDavid Kehr
Ain't exactly the Bahama Mama of all horror pics. [13 November 1998, p. 56]

USA TodayMike Clark
Suspense takes a vacation in sequel. [13 November 1998, p. 6E]

Chicago Sun-TimesRoger Ebert
Assembles the building blocks of idiot-proof slasher movies: Stings, Snicker-Snacks, false alarms and point-of-view baits-and-switches. Read full review

ReelViewsJames Berardinelli
If there's a blessing, it's that the sequel isn't appreciably worse than the original - but that's slim praise considering how bad the first one was. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleBob Graham
It's standard slasher fare but has its moments. Read full review

San Francisco ExaminerG. Allen Johnson
The best that can be said about this film is that it's watchable, and that's not the way it could or should be. Read full review

Chicago ReaderLisa Alspector
This 1998 sequel seems almost deliberately designed to disappoint--our enjoyment is supposed to lie in making fun of the obvious red herrings, contrived opportunities to show cleavage, melodramatic dialogue, gullible characters, and inevitable to-be-continued ending. Read full review

L.A. WeeklyHazel-Dawn Dumpert
It's noisy, it's flashy, and it's deadly dull -- without the goofball, horror-nerd energy of Kevin Williamson, who wrote the first film, this essentially storyless picture, written by Trey Callaway and directed by Danny Gan-non, revolves doggedly around Hewitt's tits. Read full review

The New York TimesStephen Holden
An empty, farcical blood bath that's virtually shock-free except for one preposterous plot twist. Read full review

Austin ChronicleMarc Savlov
You want REAL terror? If this second outing proves profitable, we'll be looking at Yet Again I Recall the Summer Before the Summer Before Last. Now that's scary. Read full review
