I liked this movie when I was a teenager, but today I know that what I liked were Jennifer Hewitt's and Sarah Michelle Gellar's boobs..

After Scream, there were bound to be immitators, and I seem to remember that, at the time, I Know What You Did Last Summer was marketed as such. Well, maybe they threw a couple of pop culture references in there, and it IS a (mild) horror whodunit, but none of the meta elements that made Scream fresh and thrilling. Based on a book from the 70s, the script might have been tweaked post-Scream, but was already in development. But even if we're not judging it against that film, it's not very good, is it? It's got a couple of good kills, but in most cases, it cuts away from the violence. Heck, even the bit where Sarah Michelle Geller (who's much more interesting than Jennifer Love Hewitt's nominal heroine) loses her hair is timid - it's shorter and thinner, but still nice a scene later. But the movie cheats. The only way to explain some of the Fisherman's actions is to accept he's a supernatural entity, but at no point is that indicated. The soundtrack confidently throws 90s hits at you except... I've never heard ANY of these songs before, so maybe the confidence isn't warranted. And then you have Freddie Prinze Jr. who only works as a red herring because he can't act and that accidentally makes him sinister. Watchable for all the pretty people and some of the TV-strength scares, but it falls apart on close inspection.

First time watcher just now. Passable is indeed accurate. A very poor man's Scream. Most characters here deserved to die and had no positive character traits whatsoever. Main cast is unusually dislikeable and that's saying a lot.

Edit: Just read the the Scream screenplay and this was written by the same person. That's insane.
