I Know What You Did Last Summer

Pros: Nice cinematography and direction, decent story

Rating: USA: R/ UK: 18/ Australia: MA

After the box office success of 1996’s Scream, screenwriter Kevin Williamson was suddenly the hottest commodity in...

Pros: story; acting; unique killing; good red herrings

Pros: Nice-looking cast, some good suspense
Cons: poor acting, weak plot

I left a note on my wife's pillow the other day, folded thrice, and written in red ink. "I know what you did last summer" it read.

"Oh, sure" she said, upon discovering it. "I ran around undoing all of your bizarre little projects before you...

Pros: Great cast; fairly original script
Cons: Cliche-ridden, nothing especially creative about it.

The horror genre, or more specifically, the slasher genre, is attempting at a comeback whether we want it to or not. What's interesting this time around is that, unlike the completely brain dead flicks of the 1970s and 80s, horror films of today are ...

Pros: Cast, Soundtrack, Plot Twist
Cons: Not enough of Hewitt or Gellar

I Know What You Did Last Summer was another pleasant surprise for me; maybe the key was coming in with low expectations. I expected a silly summer slasher movie a la Friday the Thirteenth part 43, albeit with opportunities for top-notch...

Pros: ummm.....
Cons: rip-off, lame plot, concept, storyline....

Wow. What a surprise. A completely stale attempt at a slasher flick by the same guy who wrote SCREAM. Ironically, I know What You Did Last Summer incorporates a lot of the very same cliches and lame scare attempts that SCREAM made fun of. It's not...

Pros: they die
Cons: one lives

Out of Scream, Scream 2 Scream 3, Friday The 13th, Halloween, and the entire other line of teen slasher flicks, I Know What You Did Last Summer has got to be the worst. In most slasher flicks innocent people with personality and appeal die, but in this...

Pros: Was a good movie
Cons: Could have been made a little better.

I know what you did last summer was one of the hottest movies out during 1997. Everyone was saying how good it was and it was just soooo scarry. People told me they went about two times already and it had to be the best movie out!

I decided...

Pros: Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar
Cons: stupid, by-the-numbers slasher film

Kevin Williamson wrote the screenplay for "Scream", which was an enormous
sleeper hit in 1996. His follow-up was a more derivative slasher film, very similar to "Friday the 13th" and "Nightmare on Elm Street". Once...

Pros: Some good scares.
Cons: The ever-bland Jennifer Love Hewitt.

After resurrecting and reinventing the teen slasher film for the '90s with the blockbuster Scream, screenwriter Kevin Williamson keeps the genre alive with I Know What You Did Last Summer, an effective "scary movie" directed by...

Pros: scary
Cons: some bad dialouge

I gotta say, although most of you will disagree with me, I loved this movie. When I went to see this movie in the theater, everyone was jumping in sync. I believe that this movie didn't have a predictable plot and was very suspenseful.

This...

Pros: Great movie, great action, great acting, great young stars
Cons: Not for children under 10, 2 heads in an ice box

Yes, I know that we were scared to hell when we saw this movie. Yes I know that everyone's probably seen it. Yes, I know that, probably, a lot of girls are jealous of Jennifer Love Hewitt, and guys too, of Freddie Prince Jr. After all,they are the bubble...

Pros: some good gore, not a bad story
Cons: very trendy

Modern slasher flicks have become the bane of horror fans throughout the nation. There's an undying loathing for any horror which uses a weak story and fills the cast with "beautiful people". Here is one of the first (besides Scream) that joins...

Pros: Umm...uhh...okay some of the action is cool, kind of scary, some okay acting
Cons: Most of the acting is terrible, bad dialog, uninteresting characters, stupid plot, predictable as hell, just a bad movie

Yet again, someone has come out of nowhere, grabbed a bunch of pretty teens, and filmed them running away from a campfire tale bad guy. Wow, I think I just might have a heart attack. No, not from terror, but from having to muster this film's utter...

Pros: brought teens back to the horror industry
Cons: acting so so...theme overdone

Okay, horror had slowed down for awhile, so out pops I Know What You Did..aiming to teens to start watching and getting involved with the horror world.

Not a bad idea if you ask me.

No, the movie isn't that good. The acting so-so....
