This article contains spoilers About "I know what he did last summer."

If you are an ordinary fanboy of Slasher Films, you may think about who the killer turns out to be in the latest movie "I know what you did last summer" is pretty standard. However, the property, despite its resemblance to other post -slim franchises, has several subversive tricks to the sleeve. For one thing, although it is a WHODUNIT technical film series that carries the template that began in the original novel by Lois Duncan, the discovery of who the killer or killers are in every film is not typical. For wit: Ben Willis (Muse Watson) was a killer in the original film in 1997 and in his sequel, "I still know what you did last summer", adding to Willis Will's son (Matthew Sethle) as his accomplice. In the sequel to the direct video-video "I will always know what you did last summer", the fisherman was discovered that he was not a man at all and instead was an unsalted spirit that took over the fishing mantle of Willis. When it comes to this franchise, all bets are well and really excluded.

Since the director/co-writer Ennenifer Katin Robinson is introducing a brand new package of characters in Her legacy "I know what you did last summer"The Whodunit game can start over, with new suspects and new red herring to take over the places of himself, very dead Ben and his son. Indeed, one of these new people has proved to be one of the movie killers of the film: Stevie Ward (Sarah Pijon), the troubled young woman who had a rocky relationship with other young residents of Southport's film, North Carolina, who worsened only when she was present during their accident. However, just like "I still know", this time there are Two The fishermen for whom Ava (Chase Sui wonders), Danica (Madeleine Clin) and their friends need to worry, and the other is a little cheat.

Yes, The Companion Killer turns out to be none other than ray bronson (Freddie Prinze Jr. Few Reasons: It's one of the rare instances which a legacy Hero Character is turned in a Villain, it as a payoff for the property's long standing red herring involving ray, and instead of being an Ephythin, Discovering Are. The franchise of guilt and trauma with the power to destroy the lives of those who release it. It's a smart choice for a movie - no, brand - it's too often as silly.

For almost any other franchise (weaker or otherwise), the discovery of the heroic character as a villain of the legacy of the sequel would be essentially vertebra. (For proof, do not look away from the child's reaction against to make the garlic skywalker Fascinating dimensional character in "War of Starvars: Episode VIII - the last edice".) The only movie before "I know what you did last summer" (2025) who really dared to try out and undermine expectations in this way was "Tron: Heritage" in 2010, in which one of the Effe Bridges' characters from the original, Avatar Club, was back as a big movie. But where that film was able to have his cake and eat too much through the fact that the bridges can play both the de-old villain and the regular old human hero Kevin Flynn, "Last Summer" makes a bold choice to fully devote himself to rotating Ray's heels.

However, crucial, Ray became a killer in "last summer" is not a development that comes out of nowhere. In a way, Ray's entire bow in the films "Last Summer" led to this, as he was probably the number one suspect in "I" and "I know what you did last summer" (1997) and "I still know" before the fishermen were made. This is partly thanks to the biggest turnaround in Duncan's novel, where protagonist Jululey's guy turns out to be a boy's relative that she and her friends accidentally killed a fateful summer night - and is thus the guy who threatens everyone in retaliation. The first two films made by Ray's big suspect not only pay tribute to the turn, but also the one in the original "scream", which "last summer", writer Kevin Williamson, also wrote. In that film, the protagonist boy proved to be one of the killers, so Williamson ripped himself up as much as Duncan's story was, and that's an aspect that happened to the sequel to those who made the movie.

Although it was certainly not the intention of the directors to play a long game with Ray, the fact that Prince Runior had to play the character in the first two films with the opportunity in mind that he could be the killer means that Ray's portraying fits well into the discovery of the new film. Ironically, Ray's whole vibration even led to Mike Mendez fired a completely separate idea for a "last summer" sequel a few years agoin which Ray would also have been discovered as one of the killers (for various reasons than in Robinson's film, of course). Thanks to all this, Ray finds it hard to feel like a shocking betrayal of the character, allowing him to come across more like a bold and intriguing idea that he is.

One of the most attractive themes of the films "Last Summer" is the concept of trauma and guilt that destroys the lives of those who allow them. For her film, Robinson, along with co-writer Sam last year, makes a neat trick where people and events are disturbing, but still vary from each other. The main team of characters resembles the archetypes of the original group of 1997 - Danica is also the Queen of Crocker, Just like Helen Shivers (Sarah Michel Gellar) was in front of her - Still this is not just a repetition of history or a "redistribution", like The "scream" at 2022 has. Instead, the parallels derive from the whole city of Southport's insistence to suppress and cover their own collective wines and trauma, with authorities in the city literally and figuratively deleting their past to attract more tourists.

There are not only film echoes such as "Jaws 2" and "Freddie Against Jason", but also some meta comments about the "last summer" franchise. Stevie's motivation for her murders stems from her trauma over her past and the random death of her careful, yet Ray's motivation includes the city she lives in her entire life trying to catch her trauma and a survivor under the rug. In essence, the city wants to deny not only the killings of Willis, but that they could appear again, so Ray is trying to prove them wrong by making them do just that. It is this growing emotional and ethical division that led to the split of Juluuli and Ray between "I still know" and this film. In contrast, Ray descended into the murderous rage, Juluuli, once the last girl, refuses to let her own trauma and win.

The biggest example of the different answers to each character lies in how they (and, after sequel, the film) treat the not -so -loved "I still know". Ray has an excellent one -lide, warning the young team that fleeing the Bahamas is a terrible idea, a target of how the sequel is generally not well considered. In the case of jului, however, scene with medium -sized credits He sees that he is looking forward to one of the characters of that sequel, Carla (Brandy Norwood), in order to seek her help with a new mysterious note she received. In other words, Ray is resentful that "I know what you did last summer" can be too neglected, while Jululey is focused only on the strongest elements of the franchise. Given how conscious fun and clever Robinson makes a sequel, it is safe to say that the property is firm on the side of Juluuli.
