Souviens-toi... l'été dernier

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.

I was so excited for this movie and I wanted to love it, but I dunno. I struggled to warm to any of the characters. As for the death scenes I found them very quick, there was no chase, no adrenaline, just seemed all very quick. I enjoyed trying to work out who the killer was, who was behind it and why, but didbt like the ending at all! I was rather disappointed and gobsmacked!

Had a great nod to the original 4 characters from The first film, loved seeing Freddie and Jennifer on the big screen again.

As I said mixed feelings - how do I deal with the ending and the reveal?

I also loved that this was filmed in Australia!

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?

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.

It started out so promising, I actually liked the characters and so fun to see characters from the previous movies. But god can't imagine any real fans being happy with this movie? Very obvious who the killer is which is fine. That how it usually is. But the ending, common? Shockingly bad! So unnecessary and stupid, made no sense and they spent no time explaining why?

Honestly the movie was okay until the last part of the movie, I would have wanted longer death scenes, with more chase, more drama and excitement but it kinda felt rushed unlike in the other movies. This could have been such a good movie, just disappointed.
