I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025)

A pleasant surprise. It respects the original film, glosses over the second one, and brings back Freddie Prinze Jr. for a decent size role, Jennifer Love Hewitt for a slightly smaller-sized role (despite she herself being slightly larger), and even gives us a Sarah Michelle Gellar cameo. And then Brandi. Yeah, I forgot she existed, too.

We have a new batch of young adults who do something iffy on July 4th, then face a familiar killer in the same old town of Southport, North Carolina. Law enforcement try to hide the '97 murders to keep tourism up, so our protagonists have to do some digging to find any hope for their predicament, which leads to our old-school characters' involvements.

The new group is okay. They've got hot bodies and dress in skimpy attire, so I love them for that. The kills are okay, and the story is engaging enough, and I obviously can't put out any spoilers, but there was a good twist that really makes the movie.

If you were into the original at all, give this new one a watch.
