This movie felt very reminiscent to the first I know what you did last summer, except a little bit worse in the overall picture. The movie does have its good moments where its really good, but it also have moments that made me scratch my head. The movie clings very heavily to the formula of the first movie which sometimes makes it feel more like a copy of the original movie rather than a sequel.
Starting with the good stuff I gotta say that the tension is very much there. The movie keeps you on toes and the kills are well done. The cast also delivers solid performances and it was nice to see the original characters return for this one. The movie does a good job at not getting boring or slow down too much which makes the movie have a nice pace.
As for the bad, the movie has the same problem as the first one had with who the killer was. I found the reveal in the first movie unsatisfying and a little lazy, but the reveal in this one literally makes no logical sense to me. The movie doesn't spend any time into the why the killer does what they do. It establishes no real reason to what linked the killer to the why. The characters in the movie are also ridiculously stupid in the movie to the point where their actions or reasons why they split up makes absolutely no sense. I'm fine with a character being written as stupid, this was characters written as being in defense mode doing absolutely everything not to be in a safe place. With that the movie also doesn't feel like its own movie as it constantly follows the tracks of the first movie, to the point where the movie almost holds the audience's hand just to say, "Oh do you recognize this from the old movie?"
Overall, I did have a good time watching the movie, but I also recognize that the movie doesn't try to do anything to make it stand on its own merit.

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!

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's nice to see a sequel years later of one of my favorite movies ever, but is it really necessary?
It tries so hard to mimick everything from the original that it gets old REALLY quick.
Unlike sequels to other older movies like Star Wars, Halloween or even Hocus Pocus that the new characters are so boring that you just don't care what happens to them, the new ones are OK. Not good, just ok. Except Danica, she's horrible. And I liked that they weren't just copies of the original cast, they FEEL like a new group.
The killer reveal was dumb and the last scene is just another "yeah girl power" moment that no one asked for.
Honestly, I like going out yesterday to watch it, but I won't be seeing this one again. The original I've seen about 20 times and it never gets old.

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.

The 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' Cast Get Quizzed
Did you know
- TriviaWriter-director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson couldn't bring Sarah Michelle Gellar's Helen Shivers back to life for this sequel. In a conversation with Entertainment Weekly, Robinson said she "tried relentlessly" to fit Gellar into the new "I Know What You Did Last Summer." Her efforts were for naught because Robinson could not maneuver around the fact that Helen Shivers is dead. "I tried, okay? I harassed her! But she is dead," Robinson said. "I tried to pitch some crazy shit too. I was like, 'What if it's like you weren't dead and you're actually alive, but in hiding?' And Sarah's like, 'I was on ice. I was the most dead a person could be. You can see my frozen body.' I was like, 'Yeah, but what if?' And she said, 'I am dead. I am Sarah Dead Gellar.'"
- GoofsDanica's text to Ava in the church noticeably sends itself before Madleyn Cline hits send, revealing that, as is commonplace in movies, the contents of the phone screen were added in post production.
