Sorry, this movie sucks

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

I remember seein this in '97 in Sterling theater, South Mumbai with my friends. Revisited this recently on a DVD. This is writer Kevin Williamson's follow up to the successful Scream. So expectations were high. The plot - After their high school graduation, four friends head off to the beach but on the way home they accidentally hit n kill someone. To avoid police problems, they decide to throw him into the water and promise each other that they will never discuss that incident ever. One year later they start getting messages from somebody who knows what happened. Later they are stalked by a rain-coat wearing mystery man who uses a big hook. The performances from Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe and Freddie Prinze Jr. were all decent. Director Jim Gillespie (Joy ride) did a good job in creating enuff suspense n tension. The ending wasn't predictable. The killer in a raincoat with a hook was an effective n intimidating one. Although the body count is surprisingly low, the tension was enuff. One of the most memorable n tension filled scene is the scene in the alley, with Gellar jus ten feet away from a musical parade/safety n the killer chasing her. The second one is the car in a wooded lane in broad daylight parked outside Anne Heches house. Yeah u heard right. Heche in a small role.

In honor of Independence Day, I decided to re-watch this and the sequel. It had been quite a few years since I've seen it. I grew up with these movies and I forgot how great they were. Creepy atmosphere, decent suspense, nice music and a very menacing killer. The Fisherman is underrated and needs more attention in the horror world. He's up there with Michael and Jason. He's not some unkillable monster, he's a human in a rain slicker wielding a hook. It's creepy that we don't really see his face or know his motivation til the end of the film. There's one scene that's very reminiscent of Halloween, which is my all-time favorite movie.Julie James, Ray Bronson, Helen Shivers and Barry Cox are all on their way home at night from partying on the 4th of July. They accidentally hit someone and throw his body in the river. One year later, each of the teens receive a letter that says 'I know what you did last summer' They are all stalked and hunted by the Fisherman til he gets revenge. If you love slashers from the 90's, you'll love I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER!!!

I know what you did last night (1997) is a somewhat entertaining teenage slasher film that follows the story of 4 different teenagers and how they accidentally hit a man on the road, kill him, and because they don't think the cops will believe them, they dump his body in the water. They swear never ever speak of it again, and just move on with their lives. Well, first of all let me just say that I loved Jennifer Love Hewitt in this film, I thought she really fit her role well. I also really loved, probably loved more than all of the characters and actors playing them, was Sarah Michelle Gellar. Sarah Michelle Gellar really did do a great job portraying her role in the film. Then, there's Ryan Phillipe, who I disliked the most of all the actors and characters in the movie, he just was not the correct choice for the role, and basically all he did was just overact and be wayyyyy over the top, it didn't work for him. The plot is interesting and intriguing, at least to me it is. The scare factor is there at certain times in the film, but some "jump scares" were just dull and boring. But the action and the chase scene were high octain, fun and cool to see, and entertaining. So overall I'll give it a 6/10.

In this film, a group of teenagers commit a crime and decides to keep that secret forever but someone knows what they did and decides to punish them. From the same writer of "Scream" (Kevin Williamson), this film is directed by Jim Gillespie and features Jennifer Love Hewitt as a protagonist.Teen movies usually go up in college or the end of high school, and show plots with stereotyped groups of adolescents (sexual perverts, idiots, nerds, dumb blonde's and others). This film starts from that and introduces notes of suspense: a crime, a secret, several murders throughout the plot and a busty girl playing the damsel in distress. This would make an excellent comedy (who doesn't like to see stupid teenagers to die horribly in movies?) and there are several moments that are deeply hilarious and predictable. The creation of suspense fails repeatedly for that reason.Jennifer Love Hewitt is a satisfactory actress, but fails to convince the audience. The problem may not be the actress but the plot, the script and the way her character was planned. The actress tries at various times to reach a higher level of psychological tension but ruins everything with theatrical moments and hysterical screams. The rest of the cast doesn't matter, are there to die or kill. The best of the film is to discover the killer's identity but, unfortunately, if we just want that, any CSI series or similar can give that even better.
