IslandGuru Who payed the critics

Ploydsge just watch it!

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

bayardhiler "I Know What You Did Last Summer". It sounds like one of the corniest threats ever or one of the worst ways to make conversation, doesn't it folks? But that's the name of the Kevin Williamson written 1997 teen slasher pick starring youthful actors Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, and Freddie Prince Jr. The plot of the film has already been mentioned by many on this site, so I won't spend too much time on it here, except to say four teens living in small fishing hamlet decide to celebrate their high school graduation by (what else?) getting drunk and making out on the beach and on their way back, accidentally hit a man along the road and seemingly kill him. Rather than do the right thing and report the accident to the cops, the four decide to cover it up by dumping the man in the ocean and making a pact to never talk about it ever again, which would be fine, perhaps, if one year later someone wasn't sending out letters with the film's title on it! Who is stalking the teens? Is it someone who saw them dump the body or is it possible the person they hit wasn't really dead? Made one year after Williamson's other written (and quite spectacularly, I might add) "Scream", it's a movie that tried to capitalize on the spirit of that clever, self-parodying thriller, and while I can't say it fully succeeded, there's something about "I Know What You Did Last Summer" that I can't help but fall in love with. Perhaps this is one of those cases where the time period a film was made in overcompensates whatever flaws the story has - such as various plot holes, the fact that some of the characters are not particularly likable (Ryan Phillippe's rich kid quarterback character comes to mind), or the fact that the killer, when revealed, doesn't have quite the same impact Ghostface or Michael Myers had. Indeed, hearing the 90's soundtrack blaring over the film's scenes instantly makes me think of the better, more carefree days of when I was a kid, when the only thing you had to worry about was what new blockbuster was coming out and who the President of the United States was sleeping with! Or maybe it's because of the fact that the four leads have such great chemistry together I just can't help but stay put and watch. Whatever, the reason, "I know What You Did Last Summer" is one of those slightly cheesy films that will appeal to a certain audience, and even for those it doesn't, at the very least they'll have delicious eye candy in the form of Hewitt or Gellar, or if you're a woman, Phillippe and Prince. Regardless of what others might think, for me this is a film that's fun to look back on, if for nothing, a time capsule of better times. Also starring Ann Heche, Bridgette Wilson-Sampras, John Galecki, Muse Watson, and Stuart Greer.

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.

Filipe Neto In this film, a group of teenagers commit a crime and decides to keep that secret forever but someone knows what they did and decides to punish them. From the same writer of "Scream" (Kevin Williamson), this film is directed by Jim Gillespie and features Jennifer Love Hewitt as a protagonist.Teen movies usually go up in college or the end of high school, and show plots with stereotyped groups of adolescents (sexual perverts, idiots, nerds, dumb blonde's and others). This film starts from that and introduces notes of suspense: a crime, a secret, several murders throughout the plot and a busty girl playing the damsel in distress. This would make an excellent comedy (who doesn't like to see stupid teenagers to die horribly in movies?) and there are several moments that are deeply hilarious and predictable. The creation of suspense fails repeatedly for that reason.Jennifer Love Hewitt is a satisfactory actress, but fails to convince the audience. The problem may not be the actress but the plot, the script and the way her character was planned. The actress tries at various times to reach a higher level of psychological tension but ruins everything with theatrical moments and hysterical screams. The rest of the cast doesn't matter, are there to die or kill. The best of the film is to discover the killer's identity but, unfortunately, if we just want that, any CSI series or similar can give that even better.
