1997 - 101m.

Four teens accidently hit and kill someone with their car one night on a winding road and dump the body into the lake. One year later they start getting messages from somebody who knows what happened and are stalked/killed by a rain-slicker wearing mystery man who uses a big hook.

The second produced movie from Scream scribe Kevin Williamson might as well be called Scream 1.5 since it is somewhat similiar to it, but it's still an okay flick that has a decent first two thirds before totally falling apart with its lousy and quite dumb finale. And like Scream the person behind the killing is predictable.

Nothing worth seeing more than once. Because it made a fair amount of money in theatres (only because of Williamson's name being attached) we get a preview for the uncoming sequel on the video of this (due Thanksgiving if you care because I certainly don't). Just barely above average.

Followed by I Still Know What You Did Last Summer.

Directed By: Jim Gillespie.
Written By: Kevin Williamson.
