A year after running over a fisherman and dumping his body in the water, four friends reconvene when Julie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) receives a frightening letter telling her that their crime was seen. While pursuing who he thinks is responsible for the letter, Barry (Ryan Phillippe) is run over by a man with a meat hook. The bloodletting only increases from there, as the killer with the hook continues to stalk Julie, Helen (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and Ray (Freddie Prinze Jr.).

Critics 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.

Rosalind Bentley

Minneapolis Star Tribune

Even though the murders are gruesome, the film is not scary, nor is it clever. We've seen this many times before, but with different titles and different stars.

Rated: 1.5/5

A cheesy and sometimes melodramatic slasher film that is certainly not one of the best, but... It's directed better than a lot of the slasher films in recent years.

Rated: B-

Bloody Disgusting

To many people nowadays, the key version of I Know What You Did Last Summer is the film, but the novel, in many respects, better communicates this unique morality tale.

Rated: 3/5

Patrick Cavanaugh

The Wolfman Cometh

The core cast are undeniable talents and the genuinely surprising story helps keep you engaged in relatively redundant slasher tropes.

Rated: 4/5

I Know What You Did Last Summer is a welcome hit of nostalgia that still works better than it should, the amazing cast particularly elevating the material enough to still make it a worthwhile rewatch, especially in the weeks of October.

The stupidity leading up to the conclusion really made this hard to take seriously. A sober ending with a clear resolution would have been a lot more respectful to the audience.

This film doesn't follow the book and it can be predictable but it has few scares and it does have it's suspenseful moments.

I don't hate it, seen it quite a few times. It is a fun movie even though it's terrible. Ive always just felt like this movie was put together with little to no effort and just thrown in our faces as some kind of lesser rival to Scream. For some reason, the powers that be always have to have 2 of everything so they can compete. Whether it be with movies, singers, bands, TV shows, etc... There's always 2 of whatever. I feel like that is the entire point of this movies existence.

I Know What You Did Las Summer is such a classic horror mystery for a reason, there is great gory kills, some good jump scares, and intense well made chase scenes. Also the movie had a really good killer reveal. I Know What You Did Last Summer is an amazing classic which had me stumped the first time I watched it.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

não teve o molho. não me envolvi com os personagens, não me importei com eles. não gostei do assassino, sem carisma nenhum.
