"I know what you did last summer" there is a special place in the Pantheon of Horror-not to break new terrain, but for being a major example of opportunism in the studio late in the 1990s, dressed in blood and teenage engagement. Loose adapted by the malicious title of Lois Duncan, who was the mainstream of every younger high library, the script was written by the screenwriter for time and coming of time, Kevin Williamson. Unfortunately, the film did not move the needle, and was rejected by Colombia pictures. But then Williamson teamed up with Wes Craven for "Creek", He led a fierce renaissance that every studio in the city had to earn desperately.

"Ikwydls" was hastily exhumed and headed for production, now boasting the golden mark "by the writer of" Crick ", which basically guaranteed the bloodshed. Better yet, the production was used by lightning in the bottle ensemble, casting at Ennenifer, Jewitt, Freddie Prince Runior, Sarah Michel Gellar and Ryan Filipe - all perfectly equalized and ready to run screaming through the fishing villages.

But nostalgia has a way to take advantage of our memories, softening the rough edges of how things actually were in favor of how we would like to remember them as being. "I know what you did last summer" was not a critical hit and His tracking, "I still know what you did last summer," worsened worse. The great majority doesn't even know "I will always know what you did last summer" even exists, and I know I'm one of the few who actually watched the only season of adapting the Premier Video series (That team was fantastic, for the record).

This is to say, it is a little revisionist history to behave as director Ennenifer Katin Robinson ("sweet/malicious", "make revenge", "Thor: Loveubo and Thunder") tries on the sacred territory with its legisel, and it is important to remember the waters.

How a weaker movie? Yes, surely, it's good. In addition to the franchise "I know what did you do last summer"? Wild, we're up!

Following the Engagement Party of Danica (Madelyn Cline) and the Wealthy and Well-Connected Teddy (Tyriq Withers), The Lovebirds and their Two Longtime Best Friends, Ava (Chase Sui Wonders) and Milo (Jonah. Hauer-King), decide to drive to the best spot in Southport, North Carolina to Watch the Fourth of July Fireworks, and invite their estranged pal Stevie (Sara Piljon) to join them for the sake of old times. Unfortunately, the group inadvertently causes a car accident, resulting in the death of an unknown man, but thanks to Teddy's dad, they can all go further without Scottish with nothing but a head full of guilt.

A year later, Stevie and Danica are best friends in Southport, with him again engaging with a new man after leaving Teddy, who drowned in alcohol on his family's yacht. Ava's blame manifests itself in rough sex with strangers (to ask to punish because "I deserve it"), while Glad makes her best Ray Bronson around 1997 impression, aka ... he's just a kind There. Like the events of almost 30 years ago, Danica receives a card claiming to know what she did last summer, and body counting is immediately considered. But Southport of 2025 is not what was in 1997. Police are still, quoting the queen of Crooker Helen Shivers forever, "T-stamp-Meibery-aas rejects it", but this is no more humble, working class city of fishermen. The new Southport is a refuge of wealth and As the convicted island of Amit of the "jaws", The one who is ready to sacrifice his people if that means maintaining tourist dollars.

With no one else to turn, the group is looking for the survivors of the 1997 massacre, Ray (Freddie Prince Runior) and JULULI JAMESEMS (ENNENIERFER Lave Hewitt), who both processed what happened to them in different ways. Ray owns the bar where Stevie works - the last vest of what was once Southport, complete with the Billy Blue's corpse as a wall décor - while Juluels became a professor of psychology, specializing in the way trauma permanently changes a person's body and mind.

It is up to them to reopen the old wounds to try and help prevent new ones from getting the hooks in this generation.

The script of Ennenifer Katin Robinson and Sam last year attracts some incredibly smart metal parallels between the events of 1997 and 2025, with deliberate suits, placed pieces of locations, well-laid uniform, and even "roles" within a friend of a friend, a friend. It is incredibly smart and provides the film Platform for some of the funniest moments of the film, but is also rooted in the very real and very serious recognition that things like guilt and tragedy can be fainted for decades and bleed in everything that surrounds you. If you choose not to deal with it, your deterrence may also be.

Movies that movies (and people, if we are honest) are wrong about the trauma is that trauma is not a real event, but the individual's internal experience and response to that event. Think of how "mental damage", a longer wound that affects a person's thoughts, feelings and behavior, sometimes permanently. Robinson Legacyquel shockingly gets it properly, opening the door for Serious conversations movie like "I know what you did last summer" does not often appear.

And yet, none of this is detrimental to fun. This work is climbing. It is funny self -conscious, never deceived in thinking that it should "elevate" the source material to justify its existence. The original ikwydls is, let's face, inadvertently ridiculous (seriously - where Ben Willis glued all those crabs in the Jului trunk?), And instead of being ashamed, Legasikel accepts the camp with both hands and screams. I don't know how Madeleine Wedge is capable of delivering as 90% of what she is saying in this movie but crowned this queen of crocker again. Okay, yes, the tension of the killings breaks down almost immediately with a strong sense of humor, but ... That is exactly what the film is. At least this one is honest about it.

There are a lot of things I want to talk about the film's themes, but to do it, it would be to spoil the moments that my audience spoiled, clapped and cheered on the screen. If you are a fan of this franchise and even have an interesting interest in this Legacequel, I please see it in the opening weekends, or drain the hell from the title of the film on social media so that you do not be spoiled. Just know that "I know what you did last summer" understands why the original series is so beloved, even though she admits to being stupid as hell. It accepts the humor and carries it to the forefront, but is not afraid to brutal torture of some twenties in this process.

People will defend my rating in the same way as the film will do, but everything is fair in Loveubeub and spoiled tomatoes, and as a continuation for almost three decades in making, it exceeds all expectations and completely nails the balance of nostalgia, bringing in our famous story. The third act (Jano, when we learn who the killer is) occupies some large swings that do not land, but the film is so explosion in half, it is suspicious that you will worry. If you do Care, you probably don't think the first movie is so great, and that's fine. Most people don't! But if you are at all at the fence, there is a sequence of medium -sized credits that really leaves medium credits made mandatory by Marvel's Chinese universe in dirt and is So damn good That it completely repeated the tone of the film that came earlier.

What are you waiting for, huh? Go to see it yourself and try not to hit anyone on the road there.
