...Scream should be revered for its witty originality in jumpstarting the horror genre, I Know What You Did Last Summer should be deplored for stalling it with shocking stupidity. The movie tracks the lives of four kids in a quaint northeastern port the summer after they apparently run over the town recluse. Filled with a superficial story line, adolescent unknowns for actors and a serial killer armed with a lethal fisherman's hook, I Know What You Did Last Summer keeps the suspense to a minimum and the plot to a formula.

Though the very premise of this film involves a satirical jab at the legal profession, the movie doesn't ultimately match the sly wit of Scream or the films from which it borrows. The ending, in trying to be both clever and moralistic, comes off as manipulative and uninspired--in other words, too conventionally Hollywood. It's a huge let-down after a fun build...
