1998 - 100m.

Jennifer Love Hewitt returns in this entirely unnecessary sequel set a year after the events of the original.

Hewitt, still struggling with the murders from before, wins a trip for her and three friends to the Bahamas only to end up trapped on a practically deserted island during a storm with a rain-slicker wearing hook-handed killer.

Basic stalk 'n' slash rubbish offers absolutely nothing original and overdoes it on the murders while "why bother" thoughts run through your head. Even manages to waste genre favourite Jeffrey Combs in a cameo.

Prepare to groan at the karoke moment (Hewitt sings though fellow cast member, and accomplished singer, Brandy doesn't), the annoying white rasta comic relief character and Mr. foul-mouth Ty (Mehki Phifer) who inbetween saying the F-word tries acting all macho.

Like I said before, we didn't need this - neither do you.

Directed By: Danny Cannon.
Written By: Trey Callaway.
