When five friends inadvertently cause a deadly car accident, they cover up their involvement and make a pact to keep it a secret rather than face the consequences. 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.

Critics Consensus

Faithfully harkening back to the original for better or worse, this I Know What You Did Last Summer reboot serves up plenty of nostalgia without finding a compelling hook of its own.

Kyle Smith

Wall Street Journal

The film’s flaws would be forgivable if it were clever, but apart from a few random one-liners, it isn’t.

Matt Glasby

Empire Magazine

“Nostalgia’s overrated,” warns this vacuous slasher with a wink. Trouble is, other than obnoxious new characters meeting immemorable ends, that’s all it has to offer.

Rated: 2/5

Patrick Sproull

Little White Lies

The whole effort is admirable in a surrealist way – there’s one dream sequence that feels like you’ve huffed paint – but this level of fealty to an IP probably isn’t healthy in the long term.

Rated: 2/5

Treading a fine line between nostalgia and unoriginality.

The decision to reboot this D-list slasher series in 2025 is a telltale sign that Hollywood is giving new meaning to scraping the bottom of the barrel.

We're living in a very good time for new slasher stories, and this is the latest addition to an impressive contemporary roster.

It reminds me of the Scream movies, I especially love the twist and turns. The nostalgia alone was good.
