So cosa hai fatto

I grew up watching the originals. Have been a huge fan ever since... seen them more times than I can count. Wtf were they thinking with this one..... without a doubt one of the most disappointing & unnecessary reboots I have ever seen.

I am going to try to pretend this one never happened... It was that bad.

Bad casting bad story bad pace bad acting. No character development. Too many plot holes. Nothing to get you "hooked"... if you gotta see for yourself, go for it. Recommend waiting til it comes out on digital if anything.

The music score was kinda dope, as well as a few scenes and the nostalgia was there with a few surprises but overall I left really upset and disappointed. And the twist at the end made me SO angry.

They should have left this one alone. I honestly liked the trailer and idea they had for it more than the actual movie. There are fans of the originals 30 years in the making and they basically just spit in our faces.

1997 was a wild year. Jennifer Love Hewitt and her pals in Southport, North Carolina, committed flat-out murder-and somehow managed to build a franchise out of what should've been a one-and-done slasher flick. Now, 27 years later, we're back with the worst-kept secret in horror history. What began with four friends has evolved into a new generation mirroring those same moments.

I'm all for paying homage and drawing inspiration from the original, but this film felt like callback central. Reference after reference. A loosely connected series of events that kind of made since... maybe. Its a legacy sequel so yeah expect some nostalgia, however the script seemed very rush and the film suffered because of it.

The connection between the original cast and the new generation was half-baked at best. I was glad to see Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr., but their presence felt forced, like the film just wanted the audience to just go along with it.

As for the new stars there were some decent performances, a couple of laughs, however nothing truly stood out. I didn't feel invested in any of the characters and the film didn't give a reason why I should.

Dunno what the negative reviews are on about. I Know What You Did Last Summer was always seen as a lesser version of Scream, released one year later. I grew up in the height of these teen slashers and I enjoyed them (also thinking of Urban Legend here). I knew they weren't great quality, and not critically acclaimed but I enjoyed them. They're like murder mysteries where you actually get to see the murders and have a go at guessing whodunnit.

This new revival of IKWYDLS is almost exactly like watching the original when I was only 10, as a 37 year old. It is just plain silly fun with some glaring plot holes and daft decisions all round. I did guess who the culprit was early on but that didn't take away from the fun of being teased with the alternative motives. And we got to see some legendary 90s icons again which hits the nostalgia bell that the film knowingly mocks when Julie states "nostalgia is overrated". It even felt like the 90s in how little CGI and cinematography is used. It's fairly straightforwardly shot with one scene being an exception.

This film isn't falling down in its silliness, it is self aware - it knows it isn't contributing to a quality film legacy (the original only has 5.8 on here, guys) and everyone should accept that it's never going to be oscar worthy. It's a daft over the top teen slasher and it delivers exactly what it says on the tin.

Five friends become responsible for a tragic car accident that results in a man's death. They decide to cover it up and swear never to speak of it again. But exactly one year later, the nightmare returns: a mysterious killer wielding a hook begins hunting down those involved. To stop the maniac, the group turns to the only people who've survived something similar - the victims of the 1997 Southport massacre.

As a fan of classic slashers like Scream and Urban Legend, I'll be blunt: if the filmmakers' goal was to make a straightforward remake with a new cast but no real changes to the script, the result is a missed opportunity. If they were aiming for the meta-approach of the later Scream sequels, referencing the original while updating the formula - it's not quite enough.

On the plus side: solid direction, a couple of effective jump scares, and decent visuals. But everything else feels derivative and predictable.

The film may spark nostalgia for fans of the genre, but it doesn't breathe new life into the franchise. If you've been missing slashers, it's worth a watch. If you were hoping for something more - unfortunately, this isn't it.

The first 2 minutes are as good as it gets - the inner monologue of a 25 point IQ who chose UofMich - enough said - she should be offed just for that. Terrible lighting, terrible acting, script sucks - you were hoping they all died - but it took 31 minutes for the first dead body. You couldn't tell any of the characters apart and the location/set up was so ridiculous. Seriously - THIS is your idea of a reboot of a great movie?
