Reviews: I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025)

Here are review links for this film submitted by our members:

Alex Bentley @ CultureMap Dallas
- Excerpt: It might just be the laziest and most incompetent attempt to capitalize on an existing piece of intellectual property. There is almost zero effort put into establishing a connection between the members of the friend group, making them feel like strangers for the entire film.
David “DC” Bolling @ DC’s Take
- Excerpt: You’re more than likely going to come out remembering a few performances (Wonders, Pidgeon), but it’s an uninspired legacy sequel that should probably stop with what comes ahead.
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: The convoluted psychological hogwash the filmmakers engage in as motivation for a murderous rampage fails to satisfy as well, as does the jokey ending which makes it all too clear they hope to revisit it.

[New] | Harrison Martin @ Flixfrog
- Excerpt: The 5th Annual JanuScary Special continues with I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025)! Another horror legacy sequel that attempts to revitalize a dead franchise.
Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: Just as the 1997 ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ rode the coattails of ‘Scream’ (1996), the 2025 installment follow the legacy sequel blueprint of ‘Scream’ (2022). Despite being fairly generic in most departments, its decent sense of humor and a solid twist almost make this slasher revisit worthwhile. But not entirely. Middling kills and forgettable plotting keep it firmly in the “decent enough for a streaming night” tier of horror revivals.
Eddie Pasa @ DC Filmdom
- Excerpt: Full of surprises, wit, humor, and genuine chair-jumping frights, I Know What You Did Last Summer has risen from the ashes with this (mostly) excellent reprise.

Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: Considering that the first movie isn’t a masterpiece, I suppose it makes sense that this new production isn’t anything special either. But as a traditional slasher with low ambitions, it’s at least fine to watch at home.
