I Know What You Did Last Summer

After a post-graduation Fourth of July beer blast, four tipsy teens accidentally smash up a pedestrian with their car, and, in a panic, dispose of the almost-dead body in the ocean. Sure enough, the following summer, the reunited group is stalked by a mysterious figure clad in fisherman's garb--replete with fish hook. A putative echo of screenwriter Kevin Williamson's mega-hit "Scream," substituting that movie's inside-jokiness for genuine feelings of guilt and angst.

    Aimed squarely at the teenage TV audience, this stalk-and-slash saga from director Jim Gillespie gives Scream writer Kevin Williamson the chance to revive his favourite psycho-killer clichés. Here, four high-school graduates cover up a hit-and-run accident, only to have the dark tragedy rear its head a year later when a hook-wielding masked fisherman starts bumping them off. The beautiful photography and nice visual flourishes make this extremely watchable, but Gillespie's chiller nevertheless trades on outdated thrills all the way through to its creak-and-shriek showdown.

    Rated - 1 star [Highly rated reviewer]

    Preposterous. I just couldn't go along with the plot of this; it just doesn't work. Awful acting and not scary because most of the time you'll be rooting for the bad guy to just bloody kill them all.

    not nice!!

    I have very mixed feelings about this one - ok I rented it because of Freddie! - . Lots of scares for a custard like me, so lots of brave people would have watched more.

    With films like this, I always end up feeling that the wrong people get killed - talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

    Does Freddie survive the sequel? because if he doesnt, let me know so I wont watch it!!

According to the Guardian, Phillippe said acting with Cooper - who has previously starred in American Beauty and Adaptation - was similar to taking "a masterclass in acting". The film Read more
