I Know How Many Runs You Scored Last Summer Audience Reviews

KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?
GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
ironhorse_iv Honestly, I didn't care for any of the characters in this film. So when they were soon killed off by the killer. I spent most of the time yawning where suspense was supposed to be. How can I take this movie seriously when one of the victims was killed by choking on a jock strap and another one running nearly nude in bondage gear? The violence is very over the top even the gore can't be taken serious, when how one the guy's "intestines" were obviously just 10 strands of sausage links? The FX shots are bad, as the splattered blood in the bathroom always disappears, making it look faker than it already did. The movie has the nerves to tease the audiences. In one scene, somebody picks up a chainsaw and look at it. I was thinking "Oh, this will be used later on. That's why we're being shown it now." But then nothing. Then another scene had a guy about to set another guy on fire that went nowhere. This movie is full of teases and not follow thru plots. It's said the DVD, it's a horror comedy, but the movie is not funny nor does it seem like a horror comedy. Everybody plays it the roles too straight that I didn't figure out it supposed to be funny. Let me state out about the title of the film. This film has nothing to do with any of the America 'I know what you did last summer' horror series. So I don't know why they had this title. It's no way parodying those films. It seems to sucker up viewers into seeing their film, mistaking it for the far more popular 'I know what you did Last Summer'. Film by an Australian-British crew, this low budget horror satire flick is about a cricket team being killed off by a killer known as Phil Phillips (Otto Heutling) because as a kid, Phil suffered a life-scarring memories of being bullied. He kills his victim in cricket relation ways, such as putting nails in an athletic cup supporter. It's a bit hard to take the killer seriously when he dresses like the Fifth Doctor from Doctor Who. Director Stacey Edmonds stars in the film as a cop who must team up with another arrogant detective (Jai Koutrae) to set out to find the killer before it's too late. In my opinion, it's already too late. It took two years to film so they had plenty of time to fix it up and yet the movie when finish, sucks. The film tries too hard on color grading as the film footage looks like it melt in the sun. There was also some a pointless camera shake to the film giving the movie a look like it's filming during an earthquake. The acting is poor, as I hear them reading out their lines. The sound was pretty appalling as it get loud in some scenes and soft spoken in others. Then there is awful cursing that would make a sailor says what was the point of that. There is an overt homage to the 1986's James Cameron's film Aliens ending that really out there. At less, Mortal Sin as the film soundtrack is a nice touch. It mixed poorly with the film itself. The movie suffers from really bad editing. Some scenes last way beyond their natural length to the point that it become awkward. There is a lot of pointless fillings such as driving intercut with people doing nothing. There is a worthless woman nudity shower scene that would jump kick the perverts out there. Don't worry women, there are plenty of stupid male masturbation and crotch shots scenes that you can kick your rocks off. All of them pretty dumb. I do like the split-screen suspense, but it felt lost. When use correctly split-screen extensively to depict the many simultaneous events, enhancing the movie's real-time element as well as connecting its multiple story lines. It can show actions occurring simultaneously, but in the split-screen in this film. It's all the same shot. I know they were going for Director Brian De Palma's style, but it didn't work. Then there is the twist that comes out of nowhere. It was alright, but gees, this is a bad tribute to B-movie Ozploitation filmmaking. For 75 minutes, it's a short film, but in my opinion, it's still a waste of time, like watching real cricket. The DVD has some extras, like behind-the-scenes of the low budget gory effects and full uncut version of the shower scene. It's really really worth the price, if you find this movie in the dollar bin at Wal-Mart. I wouldn't pay any more. I wouldn't bother buying it if I even wanted to see it. I would just borrow it from somebody. Well it was certainly a lot better than the follow up "I know how many assists you had this season". Whatever its intentions 'I Know How Many Runs You Scored Last Summer" doesn't deliver.
pgallacher This is a riot from start to finish and shouldn't be missed. Yes it is low budget and it is obvious that the ambition of the film makers is sometimes sacrificed, but if you take this into account then you can really appreciate the qualities this feature has to offer. It is hilarious with some good performances, particularly from the leads. There is a proud history of off kilter horror gems from the land down under and IKHMRYSLS continues this trend and deserves to be considered in the same league as Bad Taste or Black Sheep. The film makers, Doug Turner and Stacy Edmonds show real promise in their debut and I hope they make another film soon. Maybe a sequel but I suspect their interest would be in another story judging by the conclusion.
kosmasp This is a B-movie or even a C-movie if you will. I watched it at the Frightfest in London, were the "stars" of the movie, who also produced/edited/directed and what not the movie, held a Q&A after the movie. They were more than likable and at least as crazy as they were portrayed in the movie ... just kidding, of course.If you look for some nice "killings" in movies (as I believe anyone is who watches Jason movies for example) and don't mind the low production value of the movie, than you might have a fun time with this film. Acting wise you shouldn't expect anything either. But the movie knows what it is and it never tries to fool you into thinking it is something fancy or convince you that the actors actually can act. It's low-to-no budget with some nice (make-up)effects. If you're "down with that", than go ahead and watch (but don't say, I didn't warn you!)
badboyarcade Caught this at Frightfest last night after the harrowing Eden Lake! We needed a bit of light relief, and this delivered in that respect.Been reading a fair bit about it online, seems like it's taken a while for them to complete it. But for a low budget film, it delivered the T&A and gore we needed after the previous film.Was quite impressed with the couple of fight scenes - something you don't normally get in slasher films. The cricket element was there, but as a definite non-cricket fan, it didn't put me off - just made it more eccentric.Oh yep, and the shower scene was TOTALLY gratuitous... and great!
