I Know What you did Last Summer

I had heard of this movie a lot and finally watched it. Directed by Jim Gillespie, this one's a mystery thriller rather than a horror. Again as usual i wasn't aware that its adapted from a book. So the movie starts on 4 July where 4 friends Julie, Ray, Helen , Barry are enjoying their graduation. While returning home they accidentally hit a person on the road. Full with fear they all decide to dump the body in the sea. While dumping the man they find that the man is still alive but still they drag push him in. Also they make a pact that they wont disclose anything about what happened to anyone. One year passes by and we see that Julie returns home for summer break. At her home she receives a post. Inside she finds a letter stating - 'I know what you did last summer'. She is freaked out to read that and decides to tell it to Helen. Soon the whole group of 4 unites again to find out the secret.


Well the movie stars Jennifer Love Hewitt [Julie] and Sarah Michelle Gellar [Helen] in the female lead to catch your eyes. Though both have done just ok acts. The whole start cast has acted just average. The direction of the movie is not up to the mark. Small things have been woven into a big movie and it lacks continuity. Being written by the writer of Scream you find similarities in the script. The background score is just fine. The twist is nice and the savior of the movie. On the whole what i feel is that it could have been much better as per the script but it lacks everywhere. Can be watched for once only.


One important thing, if you've watched Scary Movie, you already know half of the things.

My rating - 5.5
