While the movie is a good watch, and tense throughout, when it gets to the third act it reveals itself to be a ripoff of Longlegs. The director gets so much praise for both his films, but Barbarian was a ripoff of REC from 2007 and this film is a ripoff of Longlegs form 2022. This film, while is very well acted and directed, the visuals are a smokescreen for writing that is clearly inspired and not very original when you really analyse it for what it is. I'll give the film a 7/10 for being entertaining and never boring, but just know his witting is absolutely not original in the slightest and any horror fan with two eyes can see straight through it.
What a total waste of a franchise revival.
I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025) feels like it was written by someone who binge-watched every bad horror reboot and thought, "Yes, let's do that - but worse." The film is a checklist of tired clichés, from painfully obvious jump scares to wooden dialogue that feels like it was pulled straight from a parody.
There are no chase scenes - which, in a slasher, is nearly unforgivable. The kills aren't creative, suspenseful, or even memorable. They just happen. There's no buildup, no tension, no style. This film somehow manages to make murder feel boring.
The writing is outright terrible. Characters are either blank slates or painfully overacted, and nothing they say adds to the story. One of the main characters - a blonde girl - delivers her lines so incoherently it's genuinely hard to understand anything she says. You'd think in post they'd notice that, but apparently not.
And just when you think it can't get worse, the movie throws in two cringe-worthy cameos from original cast members. They add nothing to the plot and feel like cheap nostalgia bait - fan service with zero payoff.
It's clear no effort went into honoring the legacy of the original. The filmmakers instead leaned into every lazy horror trope imaginable, slapped the IKWYDLS name on it, and called it a day.
This isn't just a bad sequel - it's a painfully dull, creatively bankrupt one. The original 1997 film had suspense, iconic moments, and actual chase sequences. This one has... nothing.
