I Know What You Did Last Summer

"The characters are never really more than stereotypes... but as the body count begins to mount, you feel their terror build."

"Wastes more opportunities than it does teenagers."

"A smart, sharply drawn genre film with a moral centre and a solid cast."

"Once the setup is in place, the picture degenerates into a formula slasher."

"This crude slasher movie... fails to spice up the old recipe and is far too sparing with the basic ingredient - the gruesome slaughter of nauseating American teenagers by a terrifying killer."

"Combining familiar elements from horror staples and a few novel twists, I Know What You Did Last Summer is a polished genre piece with superior fright elements..."

"Until it gives up at the two thirds mark, this is a decent companion piece to Scream, but the final act needs to be taken to with a meathook."

"Though it flies in the face of credibility and becomes downright silly by its end, I Know What You Did Last Summer knows its way around the rules of the popular horror-film genre"

"My bet is that (scriptwriter Kevin Williamson) hauled this one out of the bottom drawer after Scream passed the $100 million mark."

"Fun, energetic and fairly scary."
