Synopsis
In a world where love is in the air and murderous fishhook men abound, a group of friends reunite when Danica and Teddy decide to marry and throw an engagement party. Once the normies head out for the night, the gang decide to smoke a joint and go for a joyride. Once parked at their favorite spot to watch some fireworks (which is just on the edge of a bend on a mountain pass), Teddy inadvertently causes a car wreck which results in the driver flying off the cliff in their Dodge pickup. To keep Teddy out of trouble, they decide to never tell anyone what they did that summer. However, somehow someway, someone finds out what they did last summer and they wont stop until vengeance is paid in blood.
Review
Right off the bat I will say this movie did make me chuckle. Not from any joke or comical scene but from the production company being named Original Films Productions. It’s no secret that this film is aimed at capitalizing off the trend of rebooting or updating classic slasher movies. This trend seemed to have started with the Halloween reboot and has spread through beloved horror franchises such as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Scream. But now I Know What You Did Last Summer wants a piece of the pie. So here it is. I won’t say that this movie is entirely bad. It kept me entertained enough and the acting was pretty decent for the most part. The thing that bothered me most in this movie was how heavily it relied on slasher tropes. It doesn’t try very hard to be unique, and literally plays off the same exact premise as the original with a few twists. To be honest, if you are really into slashers and that kind of horror movie I think you should be outraged by what filmmakers are doing to your sub-genre. But if you just like all things horror and want something to watch, it’s not the worst thing in the world.

4/10
Hi!
In the I know what you did last summer (2025) episode. You guys asked why would Ray, the killer say not to go get in the boat leave Southport. In the new movie Teddy says something like, ‘We should just get in a boat go to the Bahamas.’ Ray responds with something like, ‘I can assure you that is a bad idea.’ The reason he says that, is because Ray himself did that in the SECOND movie, I Still know what you did last Summer (1999). In that movie, he went to try and save Julie in the Bahamas by boat, and got caught in a hurricane and almost died. So you just gotta know the previous movies to understand that line, as well as a few other references in the this film. It seems like it went nowhere, but it was a cool little call out for the people who know. Also of course Brandy Norwood was in “I still know… (1999). And came back in the post credit scene.
