Soon sufficient Danica will get an nameless word saying, sure, “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” and all of it begins once more — the hook, slicker, hat, blood and our bodies. The kills will not be notably imaginative, the chases are on the unsuitable facet of thrilling and the ultimate reveal could have your eyes roll proper out of their sockets.
While it was good to see Prinze Jr. and Hewitt reprise their roles, I Know What You Did Last Summer provides nothing new by means of plot, character or dialogue. The younger solid act for all they’re value and the hassle reveals. The movie supplies unintentional laughs with reminiscences of Keenen Ivory Wayans’ Scary Movie (2000). Unless, one can provide you with radically new twists to the slasher formulation, it’s in all probability time to lay the hooks and ghostface to relaxation. Sigh.
