Summary: Don't "Scream" When You Can Get HOOKED!
Review: Don't "Scream" When You Can Get HOOKED! I loved "I Know What You Did Last Summer". It was way better than "Scream" and stars the very talented Jennifer Love Hewitt and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" Sarah Michelle Gellar. The plot is great and it's very surprising to see who the killer is at the end. What an AWESOME movie.

Summary: I don't "KNOW" why I bothered to see this "last summer."
Review: When I read Lois Duncan's book as a kid, I remember it vividly because of its well-developed characters, clever mystery, and most of all for its appeal to my intelligent mind. The movie incarnation of a once great book is so dreadful that Lois Duncan could rightfully sue the producers for libel, just for having her name attached to this idiotic blunder. A throwback to the era of "the whole cast gets mutilated" movies of the 1980s, "I Know What You Did Last Summer" is a decade late in appealing to an audience. Ornamented with terminally cute Jennifer Love Hewitt and Sarah Michelle Gellar this movie is a horrible hypothetical meeting between "Friday the 13th" and "Baywatch." Nothing in the book is followed on to the script, and nothing in the script is intelligibly coherant. A movie that clearly is designed to make money of packing little hormone-ridden boys into the movie theatre to watch beautiful girls get killed by a weird dude in a rain slicker with a strange walk, this film deserves no more attention from the viewer than the producers and screenwriters offered Lois Duncan in reading her book. END

Summary: I Know What I'd Like To See Again
Review: The book was brilliant, the film was better. Sarah Michelle Geller, Bridgette Wilson & Anne Heche were my favourite stars unlike most people with Jennifer Love Hewit. The sequel looks okay, but i can't be too sure, Brandy should do a good job of it. But overall, I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER was excellent - no matter what the critics say END

Summary: This movie totally rocked
Review: After I saw this movie it instantly became one of my all time favorites. After reading the novel by Lois Duncan I felt that it may have deviated from the original story a bit too much. Nevertheless, Jennifer Love Hewitt gave an incredible performance. I do feel though that too many characters got killed in it. Should have kept some for the sequal. END

Summary: this is the only horror movie i like
Review: I saw way back in 1998 and I loved it. Yeah that's right it's not really scary but more of a thriller. All actors plays thier parts very good. The death scenes are okay I guess,no gore or blood here folks so people who likes that stay away. The ending is kinda lame but don't rent or buy the second movie,it's so damm bad. Hevitt is the female actress in any horror movie I have seen in my life. She's really cute and I hopes she will do a third and final movie even if the 2nd sucked really bad. Buy this if you like thrillers or just wanna have a good time. Oh by the way for all the ladies out there. Ryan is almost naked in a long scene in the middle of the movie,he is very hot. Thank you and have a nice day.

Summary: Not bad for a teen slasher flick!
Review: "I Know What You Did Last Summer" was the first film to be released after "Scream" reinvented the teen-slasher genre. Adapted from Lois Duncan's 1973 novel, the film followed 4 kids who accidentally hit a man while driving, and thinking him to be dead, dump his body into the sea. One year later, someone in a fisherman's slicker carrying a huge hook exacts revenge on the teens. Is it someone who saw, or is it the dead man returning from the grave? Now, this isn't a bad horror film, not at all, there are some genuine scares here. The chase scene with Sarah Michelle Gellar and the killer is quite suspenseful as well as the very end, which definitely generates the best scare of the whole film. The casting is good, although Ryan Phillipe tends to get on one's nerves, portraying the buff macho jock a little bit too intense. Jennifer Love Hewitt is ok, Freddie Prinze Jr. is a little overly-annoying, but Sarah Michelle Gellar is great! She certainly uses those lungs! I guess all those episodes of Buffy paid off. One thing about this film, is that it makes you think who the killer might be, like in the other post-Scream flicks. Once you find out who he/she is, you'll end up laughing or end up being surprised. One or the other. I also think this film would have been better if it wasn't compared to "Scream" so much, it's a stand-alone film, leave it at that! This was followed by a horrendous sequel one year later in which everything that could have gone wrong with a film, did.

Summary: Teen thriller delivers the goods in spades!
Review: Produced in the wake of "Scream" (1996) and written by that film's acclaimed scriptwriter Kevin Williamson from a Young Adult novel by Lois Duncan, "I Know What You Did Last Summer" (1997) is a solid contribution to the updated, multiplex-friendly teen-slasher cycle. Following a drunken revelry at their graduation party, four teens (Jennifer Love Hewitt, Ryan Phillippe, Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar) accidentally run down and kill a man and, fearing the possible consequences of a manslaughter charge on their respective careers, they dump his body into the sea. One year later, someone who apparently witnessed their crime begins to hunt them down, disguised behind a fisherman's slicker and wielding a massive steel hook...Though rife with implausibilities, this remarkably straight-faced shocker benefits enormously from a strong narrative, gorgeous location work in the picturesque fishing village of Stockport, North Carolina, and an ultra-beautiful quartet of hot young actors with talent to spare. Their impossible good looks may simply be a nod to cinematic convention, but Williamson's script dares to explore the flaws in their characters as they're torn apart by guilt and fear - Phillippe in particular comes across as a wealthy, unpleasant bully even before the accident occurs, and his temperament simply crumples further under duress. But the gulf between talent and experience is deftly illustrated by co-star Anne Heche, who almost steals the movie with a cameo appearance as the dead man's haunted sister, living in decayed isolation in a crumbling old house in the woods. The four young principals give terrific performances, but they're no match for Heche's subtlety and precision. Jim Gillespie's debut feature rises above its modest ambitions by virtue of its handsome production values and relentless forward momentum, and the film's production history is recounted in some detail during a comprehensive DVD audio commentary by Gillespie and editor Steve Mirkovich. They provide a fascinating insight into the workings of a mid-budget horror movie, describing not only the technical requirements, but also the day-to-day process of compromise and innovation which gave rise to the final product. Oddly enough, no one mentions the film's triumphant use of the scope format: Denis Crossan's luminous Panavision photography takes full advantage of the stunning locations and makes few concessions to television, placing characters at either end of the screen and underlining the film's emotional content with a number of extraordinary visual 'stings' (such as Gellar's final scene, which concludes with an aerial shot that is both heartbreaking and deeply ironic, completely lost in the 4:3 pan-scan version). Creepy, sexy, fast-moving and genuinely thrilling in places, this glossy Hollywood shock-machine may not be terribly original, but it looks good, it doesn't play down to the audience, and it features a couple of jump-through-the-roof shocks which are absolutely NOT for the faint-hearted!! As usual, Columbia Tristar's region 1 DVD provides a 4:3 pan-scan version along with a 2.35:1 anamorphic print derived from a high-definition transfer. Both are eye-poppingly vivid! Similarly, the 5.1 soundtrack is a constant delight, with shameless use of deep-bass effects to augment some of the wilder set-pieces. English captions are also provided, along with a letterboxed (1.85:1) trailer, and the film itself runs 100m 43s.
