Rating Summary
In the 2025 soft reboot/sequel to 1997’s I Know What You Did Last Summer, five friends accidentally cause a fatal car accident and cover it up, swearing to keep it a secret. A year later, they are stalked by a hook-wielding killer who sends them taunting messages about their crime.
I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025) REVIEW
In a 20-year cinematic slump bloated with derivative knock-offs and cheap nostalgia bait, 2025's soft reboot of a long-ago worn-out film franchise is almost impressive in its staleness.
Middling performances and a trite and banal script mark one of the summer's most remedial offerings. If you're impressed by tales that defy all logic, rely on characters behaving contrary to all of human existence as they react to cheap and telegraphed jump scare after physics-defying cheap and telegraphed jump scare, and the most unimaginative and goreless deaths in a film of a franchise that has nothing to offer but gore and over the top murder, then 2025's I Know What You Did Last Summer is the movie for you.
