“I know what you did last summer” evaluation: Who is that for?

“Nostalgie is overrated,” announced Julie James (Jennifer Love Hewitt). She has just gone through a tangled domino of events and was driven back to the fictional city of Southport, which is ridiculous nothing like the North Carolina in which it is supposed to take place. It's a strange line. We have just seen 100 minutes in the nostalgia dialogue. Jennifer Kaytin Robinsons Legacy Continuation I know what you did last summer Is nothing if it is not full of direct references to its original film from 1997, a vapide, completely hollow cover of the revival. And if there are no copier lines directly from Hewitt's mouth, it uses an almost impressively high level of pandering to its gene z-audience.

The whole thing raises the question: “Who is that for?” Why do we make a legacy continuation into a slasher who has only remained relevant as a footnote for its far superior cultural test stone? Scream? Are either millennials or gene horror fans after reintroduction in a franchise that died in the water before the turn of the century?

It is a bizarre company from the moment when it begins with an initial act with an exhibition and absolutely zero actual characterization. Unfortunately, this is a gross indicator of what will come; Everything we have ever learned about the leadership of the film, Ava (Chase Sui Wonder), is that her mother is dead and that she is apparently bisexual, two facts that are not characteristics in particular. AVA says lines like: “Can you believe that we are at the engagement ceremony of our best friend?” Because we are too stupid to see that with our own eyes.

Regardless of this, there is a film here that is so if the already slack original had fewer missions. On July fourth, Ava, the fiancee Danica and Teddy (Madelyn Cline and Tyriq Withers), their somewhat estranged former friend Stevie (Sarah Pidgeon) and Avas ex-boyfriend Milo (Jona Hauer-King) go late to clear a long way. The cliff. A year later, they are hunted with a fish hook by a fancier.

The murderer is obviously the style of the murderer from the first two films, so that the young adults of the group, which are more definable by ai-like Z-jargon than with anything that resembles the actual human behavior, according to the individual survivors of this massacre and Julie (Freddie Prince Jr.), who now live in Bitterdie Prince Jr. Bitterdie-Prinze-Jr.), Who have now lived in the bitter station. If this sounds familiar, it can be Scream Restart from 2022, which unfortunately continues for Robinson's perception that this franchise cannot help but copy the creation of Wes Craven. There is bizarre metatext references to the tradition that is not completely useful in a franchise that is not metatextual through design. This means that the film has an almost impossible time to justify why a killer would be a imitator or more, why someone would bother to put on a massive and undoubtedly heavy, glittering and chunky boots, just to cut in Twentysomethings in a theatrical way.

Almost nothing works here. When two characters try to underline the entire journey towards the end by speaking the Internet of how “men prefer to become empty, instead of going to the therapy”, Robinson seems to make a wide gesture towards women's hostility and sexism that the film has not supported in the least. There are moments of tantalization, as in the minor suggestion that the entire police belong to a rich country developer or that very much Jaw-A similar implication of a local government that refuses to recognize the danger to its population in order to surrender to tourism, but these are essentially subsequent thought in an otherwise unmotivated, TORRIDIER OFFER.

When the phrases come – and I admit that the unveiling, who is behind the bloodshed, is surprising if it is no other reason that it will break your brain how absurd this is – there is almost nothing that you can hang on. And the sociopolitics of the Killers reveal some cynics about the perception of classes, money and searches by the filmmaker. It is a film that is evil for any other reason than its red kills.
