I Know What You Did Last Summer

It started out so promising, I actually liked the characters and so fun to see characters from the previous movies. But god can't imagine any real fans being happy with this movie? Very obvious who the killer is which is fine. That how it usually is. But the ending, common? Shockingly bad! So unnecessary and stupid, made no sense and they spent no time explaining why?

Honestly the movie was okay until the last part of the movie, I would have wanted longer death scenes, with more chase, more drama and excitement but it kinda felt rushed unlike in the other movies. This could have been such a good movie, just disappointed.

Run. Run far away. Run far away and never return. You know, you really begin to understand and appreciate what a great writer Kevin Williamson is when all these new directors and writers try to continue his stories and fall flat on their face. This movie is trash. What the director has done is basically just spitting in the face of the fans that have loved these characters for almost 30 years. I rolled my eyes and went along with it for almost 90 minutes and then the train derailed. I don't know that I've ever witnessed a more jarring and sudden character assassination in my 40 years of enjoying movies.

I'll be honest, I didn't have the highest hopes for 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' working as a legacy sequel. I felt like it was a story that works once, but doesn't lend itself to being done over again with a fresh cast. I was wrong. They found a way to make the concept work and it was highly enjoyable.

The returning cast got a lot more screentime than I expected. I was kind of just expecting little cameos here and there and the new cast would have almost entirely their own story. Again, I was wrong.

The film doesn't pull any punches with the horror side of things. There are some brutal kill scenes and I liked that the fake jump-scares were kept to a minimum (there are still a few though annoyingly).

There is a scene that made me laugh where two bodies have been hung up in horrific fashion and the police have set up their "Do Not Cross" tape literally 5 feet in front of the scene, with hordes of people just standing there staring at it.

There's a line in this movie that says, "Nostalgia isn't real." But it is. The movie is riddled with references to the original two films, (sometimes a little heavy-handedly perhaps) but I really enjoyed it every time. It's crazy to me the original is 28 years old.

I loved everything about this film. It was the legacy sequel I didn't even know I needed. 9/10.

Dunno what the negative reviews are on about. I Know What You Did Last Summer was always seen as a lesser version of Scream, released one year later. I grew up in the height of these teen slashers and I enjoyed them (also thinking of Urban Legend here). I knew they weren't great quality, and not critically acclaimed but I enjoyed them. They're like murder mysteries where you actually get to see the murders and have a go at guessing whodunnit.

This new revival of IKWYDLS is almost exactly like watching the original when I was only 10, as a 37 year old. It is just plain silly fun with some glaring plot holes and daft decisions all round. I did guess who the culprit was early on but that didn't take away from the fun of being teased with the alternative motives. And we got to see some legendary 90s icons again which hits the nostalgia bell that the film knowingly mocks when Julie states "nostalgia is overrated". It even felt like the 90s in how little CGI and cinematography is used. It's fairly straightforwardly shot with one scene being an exception.

This film isn't falling down in its silliness, it is self aware - it knows it isn't contributing to a quality film legacy (the original only has 5.8 on here, guys) and everyone should accept that it's never going to be oscar worthy. It's a daft over the top teen slasher and it delivers exactly what it says on the tin.

Mann, the movie was good, bad, decent, bad, decent...the last 30 minutes were solid, but wow, it felt so hokey, like Urban Legends 2 hokey, I'm not sure why i liked some parts, but i will say the fisherman is more menacing, faster, and bigger...the kiIIer is upgraded, but the main young actors are pretty bad, I loved the scares and set ups...that's about it! The kiIIs were also WEAK... also the agenda is like, all men are bad...so all girls should just date other girls! Cause ya know? Men are bad!... But this should've been straight to netflix or hulu...I can see it flopping having less than a 20 million opening...sadly, this franchise was just never that good to being with. Oh well...But if you wanted another IKWYDLS film, this movie should definitely entertain you at the most.
