A year later, their past comes back to haunt them and they're forced to confront a horrifying truth: someone knows what they did last summer... and is hell-bent on revenge. As one by one the friends are stalked by a killer, they discover this has happened before, and they turn to two survivors of the legendary Southport Massacre of 1997 for help.

REVIEW SUMMARY
I Know What You Did Last Summer is a glossy, shallow reboot that mistakes recognition for resonance, failing to revitalize the franchise in any meaningful way. Despite a few solid performances and flashes of potential, the film never finds its footing as horror, legacy sequel, or even as a character-driven drama. It’s not thrilling, it’s not moving, and it’s certainly not memorable. The only thing I know for sure is that I’ll never revisit this summer.
