After seeing the explosive and eye-popping success of Saw X<\/a> and Final Destination Bloodlines<\/a>, the I Know What You Did Last Summer<\/a> franchise hook-scratched its chin and said, \u201cWhy not me? Ow.\u201d After all, if torture porn could release such a celebrated legacy sequel, then how about a reversal of fortune in kind for this dormant teen slasher, just like its Scream<\/a> ilk in 2022.<\/p>\n

Based on the Lois Duncan school library mainstay, the original I Know What You Did Last Summer<\/a> grabs the novel\u2019s mystery & suspense plot and gnashes it into a bloody affair, getting the killer to drop the gun and instead pick up a fishing hook to stick it to the victims, real personal-like. Starring Jennifer Love Hewitt<\/a>, Sarah Michelle Gellar<\/a>, Ryan Phillippe<\/a>, and Freddie Prinze Jr.<\/a>, they portray recent high school graduates who make a pact of silence after their reckless driving leaves a pedestrian dead. But now, a cloaked stalker terrorizes them with a sharp blade and mash notes of threats and vengeance.<\/p>\n

Released just before Halloween 1997, I Know What You Did Last Summer<\/a> was the first major teen slasher after Scream<\/a> jolted the genre awake for the decade in 1996. Summer<\/a> beat Scream 2<\/a> to release by a few months, and then got its own sequel in 1998 with I Still Know What You Did Last Summer<\/a>. The 2006 direct-to-DVD I\u2019ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer<\/a> makes it a trilogy, crucially.<\/p>\n

Over 25 years after their last appearances, Hewitt and Prinze Jr. return for 2025\u2019s I Know What You Did Last Summer<\/a> to guide the next generation of piss-poor drivers, co-starring along Madelyn Cline<\/a>, Chase Sui Wonders<\/a>, Jonah Hauer-King<\/a>, Tyriq Withers<\/a>, and Sarah Pidgeon<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tCritics Consensus: A by-the-numbers slasher that arrived a decade too late, the mostly tedious I Know What You Did Last Summer will likely only hook diehard fans of the genre.\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
