In 1997, there was a horror movie released called I Know What You Did Last Summer, with Sarah Michelle Geller, Freddie Prinze Jr, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Ryan Phillippe. It was a reasonable hit, but it was not a film I loved. I rewatched it a few years ago and felt that it was a decent watch, but had a lot of stupid things happening in it.

In 2025, a Legacy sequel was released to I Know What You Did Last Summer with younger stars, along with a couple of the actors who had appeared in the first film. It was not a reboot or a reimagining. It was a sequel 28 years later… and not a zombie movie.

A group of friends were involved in a tragedy on the 4th of July and decided to cover it up. A year later, much like before, the friends reunite and a slicker-wearing, hook wielding killer stalked them, trying to murder them.

Couple of things, the movie is basically the same film from 1997. The plot is very similar to the original. Then, the film is basically Jaws. Why don’t the people in charge believe in the dangers coming to their towns on the Fourth of July?

This was truly stupid. The acting was terrible. The characters were all just barely characters. The story is totally stupid and made almost zero sense. The end of the film was such a mess, even for a slasher movie.

There is a pre-credit scene that sets up for a sequel, but I can not imagine that it is something that we will ever see.

The only parts that had any sort of interesting pieces was the part of the movie that nostalgia was involved. The rest was just so bad.
