I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER 2025 Movie Review – Movie Explained

Do you love stoopid movies? Because I love stoopid movies! Some examples include: The Master of Disguise, Bio-dome, Kangaroo Jack (actually the best movie, not sure why I wrote that), Batman and Robin, and Fast n Da Furious 63. The problem with I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025) is that it is NOT a stoopid movie! It is just a stupid movie.

The only reason to go see I Know What You Did Last Summer is if you are someone that ABSOLUTELY MUST go to see any movie that has hooks. The only other reason I could think of is if you are a prahfezionnall movie critic like Dis Drawma Kingg. But back to the hooks, the primary focal point of the Last Summer franchise. I can only imagine what the creators/producers meeting in the 90’s might have looked like — 

Person 1: [Desperately] That Scream movie is popular, but what could we possibly think of other than a mask of a ghost?

Person 2: Yeah, like what would make us different? What would our hook be?

Person 3: Oh me! Me! I got an idea! He uses a hook!

Person 4: [Quietly] That’s a horrible idea…

Person 5: [Loudly] Jonathan that’s perfect! I always knew you were a genius!

Person 3: [Defeatedly] My name is Bob.

Now, it could have ended that way with the room in fast agreement. Orrrrrrr perhaps after the hook was suggested they all went for lunch. When they came back, everyone was feeling kind of tired and ready to call it a day. Someone said “So we’re just going with the hook idea?” They all just REALLY wanted to go home when Person 2 stood up and said: 

Person 2: If we leave now, I can pick up my daughter Little Mari Sue (full legal name) from daycare a little early so we can make it to our favorite ice cream shop before it closes.

Person 5: [Loudly] Yeah let Little Mari Sue get some ice cream!

Whole Room: [Triumphantly] YEAH!

Creativity may have lost that day back in the 90’s, but Little Mari Sue got her favorite ice cream! So the universe had an inversely positive moment too! Now this is just what I choose to believe. I encourage everyone to believe whatever they want to believe. But if all of this is just my imagination, and Little Mari Sue didn’t even get any ice cream – then what did ANYONE get from the existence of the I Know What You Did Last Summer franchise?

OK, I guess I’ll actually talk about what I liked and disliked about the movie. Praise all goes to the lead, Chase Sui Wonders. She was terrific! Her character was also the only one I found to be very likable. That was the problem with the film. The actors, characters, and the script were not any better than the first time around. Oh, actually there was one other great character – The Cure Disintegration t-shirt. Additionally, I did not find the motivations of each character to be very convincing (except for maybe The Cure t-shirt). SPOILER: A little into the movie it becomes very clear that it is really a sequel that just starts off feeling like a remake. It reminded me of this obscure movie from 2022 called Scream. I doubt the filmmakers knew about that one though.

Movie Explained: Various events took place, often involving hooks. You may feel I am leaving out some details, but it’s not as many as you’d think!

Final Thoughts: 2/10 Crowns. It gets such a low rating because I am rarely so bored in the theater. There just wasn’t much to like about it. If you are a long time reader (all month) of drawmakingg.com, then you may have noticed that most of my movie ratings are pretty low. It is true that I DO seek out bad movies. Bad movies are often very dramatic! Did you know that I’m into drama? A dramatic stoopid movie can be the highlight of my year! They can inspire you, make you laugh, even change your life! I Know What You Did Last Summer wasn’t one of these, but I assure you it CAN happen!
