As a horror experience centred on the slasher subgenre, “I Know What You Did Last Summer” is merely competent. I would recommend it to those new to horror, but those with more experience with the genre will likely find it boring. [Full review in Spanish].

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 31, 2025

I Know What You Did Last Summer may certainly be one of the more entertaining of teen slashers from its era, but it has aged about as well as milk.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jan 3, 2025

To many people nowadays, the key version of I Know What You Did Last Summer is the film, but the novel, in many respects, better communicates this unique morality tale.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 11, 2024

The core cast are undeniable talents and the genuinely surprising story helps keep you engaged in relatively redundant slasher tropes.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 24, 2023

I Know What You Did Last Summer is a welcome hit of nostalgia that still works better than it should, the amazing cast particularly elevating the material enough to still make it a worthwhile rewatch, especially in the weeks of October.

This is a fun, energetic and scary movie by Jim Gillespie.

| Original Score: B- | Jan 10, 2023

This really does feel like it’s missing something, perhaps the result of being rushed out after the renewed interest in horror post-Scream.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 21, 2022

While not as good as his first film, Williamson still manages to avoid the “sophomore slump” with this second offering and a solid script/story.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Sep 27, 2022

On the minus side, this bright, witty writer seems to have retreated into the very genre he spoofed in Scream.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 1, 2022

Even though the murders are gruesome, the film is not scary, nor is it clever. We've seen this many times before, but with different titles and different stars.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jan 26, 2022

Takes the foundation of Lois Duncan's source material and updates it in all the right ways. Williamson's script is playful and smart , Gillespie's direction is taunt and SMG remains a queer icon with the best chase scene in modern slasher history

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Oct 20, 2021

I Know What You Did Last Summer still retains its entertaining appeal, while still inspiring the filmmakers that have followed in its wake.

| Jul 3, 2021

An '80s slasher in a '90s world that prioritizes its characters over gore and it's all the better for it. It's a perfect dessert after Scream's main course.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Dec 30, 2020

A cheesy and sometimes melodramatic slasher film that is certainly not one of the best, but... It's directed better than a lot of the slasher films in recent years.

| Original Score: B- | Oct 16, 2020

The numerous false alarms, jump scares, frustratingly disbelieving supporting personas, and misdirections are admittedly amusing.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Sep 14, 2020

For all its glaring flaws, I Know What You Did Last Summer has its fun with a loosely adapted story from the novel of the same name by Lois Duncan.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 7, 2019

Wastes more opportunities than it does teenagers.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 28, 2019

The performances by the young actors are engaging.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 28, 2019

A dreadful mad slasher film that works neither as a thriller nor as a comic commentary on the genre.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 28, 2019

All the scary, screaming, sniggering fun continues here, aided by swell performances from Hewitt and Gellar in particular... an appearance from the always groovy Anne Heche, and the crisp, crackerjack direction of Jim Gillespie.
