There isn't a whole lot to say about this movie. It's not original, not very scary, very cliché with bad characters and bad scripting, but still enjoyable to watch. Doesn't try to score cheap with ''jump scenes'' but puts more emphasis onThere isn't a whole lot to say about this movie.

Nice to watch when you're drunk and don't have the attention span for a more complicated horror movie.… Expand

To be honest, I like I Know What You Did Last Summer. It is quite interesting and scary. However, it is a bit confusing and can sometimes be stupid.

If you thought Scream was scary then this summer 7 little words will give you the biggest scare of your life.

The film starts by looking at a group of four friends who are celebrating the fact that Helen (Sarah Gellar) has won a beauty pageant. The party is going great until the four friends decide to take a drive and accidentally run over a man. Not wanting to report the crime the four friends decide to throw the man in the river. But just before they throw him in the river the man wakes up but luckily for the group of friends after he wakes up he falls in the river and disappears into the murky depths. After this the friends seem tohave gotten away with it until a year later one of them, Julie, (Jennifer Love Hewitt) recieves a letter which reads "I know what you did last summer." From this moment on the four friends find themselves in a revenge story where the killer is taunting them at first and then horrifically killing them one by one.
Even though the film is a bit slow at the start there are some very scary parts in it like when one of the Julie is driving and she hears a scratching sound coming from her boot. So she opens the boot and inside is her friend's dead body covered in crabs. This scared me because at first I thought it was going to be a false-scare but then I saw the dead body and almost jumped out of my seat.
My favourite scene in the film is when Julie is trapped on a boat and is getting chased by the killer. This is a good chase scene because not only does the killer nearly catch her on more than one occasion but also you get the feeling that the killer will catch her eventually because the boat is the middle of the water so you get the feeling that she can't run from the killer forever.
I would recommend this film to anyone who likes horror/action films with a bit of gore. And I would rate this film 7/10.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It wasn't quite as good as Scream but it had just about as much originality as Scream did. The acting was good except for Freddy Prince Junior's. It was really creepy and scary at certain parts. Way scarier than Scream but not as smart with how the story goes. The only problem is that every character that should have escaped got killed because the killer appeared out no where as if he was a ghost which he is not. He's like a 60 year old man and he walks when he chases people when their running as fast as they can but he still manages to kill them somehow. Sarah Michelle Gellar should have survived.… Expand

I have to say, I liked I Know What You Did Last Summer even better than Scream. It was one of those "at the edge of your seat" thrillers with plenty of jumps, scares, and surprises.

At the same time, this is a typical low-budget film. There is not one famous actor here, there is nothing different from another large number of films of this genre. As the thriller I Know What You Did Last Summer fails most of the film, it is unable to keep on its toes, most scenes looked more like delights to scenes from other films. I Know What You Did Last Summer did much better as a "dumb" as it should be for the slasher genre. Here are the idiotic decisions and deaths that follow them, and the "stupid" dialogues of the main characters. Overall, I Know What You Did Last Summer is a great example of its genre. I advise you to watch if you want to watch a teenage slasher.… Expand

While it is clear this is one of the movies that perhaps was trying to cash in on the success of Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer is still in my opinion a solid and enjoyable film.

The plot isn't necessarily original and that's not where this movies shines. Where this movie shines is in the performances of Sarah Michelle Gellar and Ryan Phillippe. Gellar and Phillippe give stellar performances and Gellar's performance is a foreshadowing of her spot in Hollywood as a scream queen. Jennifer Love-Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr., being the leads, give relatively weak performances in my opinion. I think if you go into this movie not taking everything so seriously you will enjoy it for what it is: a simple, yet enjoyable 90s slasher.… Expand
