ShangLuda Admirable film.

SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

John Doe The movie is dull and stupid with actors that do act good but the story is poorly written, and not good.I give 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' a 5/10

Fella_shibby I remember seein this in '97 in Sterling theater, South Mumbai with my friends. Revisited this recently on a DVD. This is writer Kevin Williamson's follow up to the successful Scream. So expectations were high. The plot - After their high school graduation, four friends head off to the beach but on the way home they accidentally hit n kill someone. To avoid police problems, they decide to throw him into the water and promise each other that they will never discuss that incident ever. One year later they start getting messages from somebody who knows what happened. Later they are stalked by a rain-coat wearing mystery man who uses a big hook. The performances from Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe and Freddie Prinze Jr. were all decent. Director Jim Gillespie (Joy ride) did a good job in creating enuff suspense n tension. The ending wasn't predictable. The killer in a raincoat with a hook was an effective n intimidating one. Although the body count is surprisingly low, the tension was enuff. One of the most memorable n tension filled scene is the scene in the alley, with Gellar jus ten feet away from a musical parade/safety n the killer chasing her. The second one is the car in a wooded lane in broad daylight parked outside Anne Heches house. Yeah u heard right. Heche in a small role.

Leofwine_draca I borrowed I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER from a friend. I had been tempted to actually buy it when I saw it in the shops but I'm so glad I waited now, as it turned out to be one of the most boring hour-and-a-half's that I have ever sat through. Maybe the film wasn't bad in terms of production, but it's certainly a below average slasher film, lacking none of the extravagance or finesse of the '80s slashers (hardly any blood is shed, the murders are all quick and cut away from the gore). The film could easily have been cut down half an hour, which would not have harmed it - in fact it might have been better.The cast is full of American teenagers, a typical staple of the slasher film, but none of the actors and actresses are up to scratch. Jennifer Love Hewitt is more adept at showing her cleavage than emoting, while Sarah Michelle Gellar (star of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER) is an annoyingly whiny character. Ryan Phillipe is okay as the drunkard Billy, while the character of Ray remains largely undeveloped (and it's difficult to fathom his sudden role as an action hero at the finale). Anne Heche also turns up, in a thankfully small role.The murderer is a generic villain, and not in the least bit scary. Candyman used a hook for murders years before this, so where's the originality? There is none. The music is good in the stalking sequences but too full of hip pop songs (sadly commonplace these days). A lot of the film is pretty by-the-numbers stuff, which looks nice but lacks substance. The chase scenes are the only worthwhile parts of the film, and even these aren't too exciting. I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER is an example of the modern horror film, clichéd, derivative, and unfortunately not very exciting at all. A botched attempt, which proved that Kevin Williamson really was a one shot wonder.

Spikeopath Kevin Williamson, hot off of the success of his screenplay for Wes Craven's Scream, here adapted the Lois Duncan novel with mixed results.A bunch of pretty teenagers in a coastal fishing town run over a man in the road and try to cover it up. Not a wise move at the best of times, even more so now as the victim, a hook wielding fisherman, is coming to get them.And that's pretty much it. Williamson adds some humour into the play, while director Jim Gillespie plays his shock tactics well and keeps the pretty young cast annoying enough for us to want to see the fisherman guy enact revenge.It sadly gets away from itself in the last quarter once the stalker is revealed, and in truth there's very little imagination gone into the whole pic. But it's a decent night in with beer and popcorn for those after a short sharp shock type horror. 6/10
