‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ is so fucking bad
Not even campy bad or so bad it’s good. It’s BAD. The acting from EVERYONE is bad. Everyone. The script feels like it was written by a middle schooler. The editing is choppy, the film is uneven in tone, the cameos are lame, the ending is abysmal…
I can’t believe this got greenlit and that the director got away with shitting all over the original with this reboot.
Sarah Michelle Gellar’s cameo as Helen was laughably bad.
Just wow.

It's not like the original was a great movie to begin with. But I'm sure it's still better than the remake.

R1 it was a fun slasher. As stated, this isn’t even fun or campy. It’s just BAD.
Maybe try reading?

R2, which is why I said "but I'm sure it's still better than the remake".

It’s nothing but a cash grab. God what a way to completely shit all over the original. The female lead is insufferable and the acting from everyone involved is atrocious. It’s obvious who the killers are and the “twist” at the end is ridiculous and is a complete slap in the face to the original film. This is no threat to Superman at the box office.

It’s terrible. And what was up with all the humor? Madelyn Cline’s character lost TWO fiancés and seems unbothered.

The original deserves to be shit on. It sucked.

I loved the original.
But the two female leads are NOT JLH or SMG. It really makes you appreciate what stars they were back in 1997. Madelyne Cline looks like a poor man’s Amanda Seyfried. The other girl is NOT JLH.
I enjoyed SMG’s surprise appearance.

The original was cashing in on Scream. It was low-rent.

This film has the same title as the original?

Is there a black friend who dies early - i.e., evidence of studio pandering to MAGA by demonstrating that DEI is D-E-A-D?

I saw it last night, and while I liked it, it suffers from the same thing all modern horror films suffer from. It doesn’t have the grimy feeling or the atmosphere that horror movies used to have during the peak era of the ‘70s - ‘80s. From the ‘90s on, horror lost something. That said, it does have a lot of male eye candy, and it was good seeing Billy Campbell (who’s still hot, btw) as Tyriq’s rich dad.

The Brandy cameo at the end surprised me. It suggests that this one may have a sequel.

Is it as bad as The Strangers remake?

Acting ability certainly didn't keep Jennifer Love Hewitt in roles but at least she had charisma and the it factor.

Jennifer Love Hewitt is barely in this reboot. Don't waste your money. It will be on streaming by August 1st.

R19 everyone knew that already. The focus is the 5 new teens. The legacy characters are secondary.
See: Scream 5

R15 nonsense. The 90s slashers were all great and added mystery to their stories on top of building suspense. You felt a sense of danger for the characters.
00s onward is when it changed.
Don’t include the 90s (30 years ago) in the list of modern movies. Scream is a classic.

The SMG cameo was terrible. It would have worked better had she turned around and blood started pouring down her face and then Madelyn Cline wakes up.
The issue is the scene went on for too long. It lasted a few minutes and she kept talking. That completely ruined it.

Saying 90s films are modern is like people in the 80s saying films from the 50s were modern.
We are far removed from the 90s.

[Quote] Scream is a classic.
Scream is simmering armadillo feces. The fact that millennials and younger Gen Xers are so obsessed with it shows how low the bar was for horror in the nineties.
Slashers in general suck. They were lampooned so brilliantly in a commercial a few years back that ridicules the need to have moronic decision after moronic decision made in order for the “plot” to move forward.
The thing that annoys me about Scream is how clever and meta it thought it was about the whole genre. It’s not as “knowing” as it thinks it is. That, and it’s boring. Really, really boring. And that fucking fright mask, do us a favor.

R25 you’re entitled to your opinion but understand it’s an opinion. You speak as if it’s a fact.
Fact is most disagree with you. Scream was a good time and yes, smart.
