I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER Review

This is Paul Salfen with your KLAK Movie Minute. In theaters this weekend is I Know What You Did Last Summer, the sequel with the same name as the original film that serves as a reboot for the Gen Z crowd and a reminder to those that grew up on the originals that we all got older. The story follows the same idea that a group of teens are involved in an accident and don’t do the right thing and get picked off one by one. It’s a sort of Scream and Scooby Doo hybrid and isn’t and wasn’t ever as good as either but is still passable slasher fun that has a bunch of predictable elements but still a few tricks up its sleeve. Social media sensation Madelyn Cline leads the pack and this further proves that she’s got something even with the often goofy and very often of-its-generation dialogue. Freddie Prinze Jr and Jennifer Love Hewitt are fun to see again on the big screen as are a couple of other surprises from the past. Overall it’s a fairly fun mid-summer placeholder but isn’t going to make a top of the year list in horror or otherwise. But since they’re already teasing a sequel, get ready for more of the same if this weekend proves to be profitable. That’s it for this week. Join me next week and every week for another Movie Minute right here on 97.5 KLAK, AMFM MAGAZINE, and RECRD.
