I know what you did last summer – funny 90s slasher revival caught us again in | Horror films

RAfter the surprise success of the 1996 scream, I know what they suffered and suffered in the same bracket last summer. Sure, it is another slasher with a further occupation of flawless faces and sure that it was also written by Kevin Williamson, but it has always been a much easier, straighter and stupid film. Scream tried to reinvent the wheel while I know what you did last summer, just tried to keep it going.

As a franchise, it quickly became what Williamson made fun with a waste bahamas set continuation (I still know what you did last summer!) And at the time an inevitable, lost, direct, direct follow-up (I will always know what you did last summer last summer!). People quickly gave up to take care of what everyone was present in a summer and when the subgenre died, it followed. But when Hollywood continues to fix itself on Millennial nostalgia, the story is repeated as a revival of Scream (with two new films, both are larger than expected, and a third on the way is now being pursued by a return for the fisherman that is still being beaten up. Resurrection that is best ignored).

The expectations are reduced, there is enough Hokey fun to have the familiar formula – children do a bad thing, someone tortures them for it, with a standard lever from the 2020s – the old line -up hits the old line -up. It means a return for the 90s heartbroben Jennifer Love Hewitt (who appears on TV with 9-1-1) and Freddie Prince JR (who definitely does not see them), which they definitely did not see), and with a grading characters who never starts more than a solid start. Like Jamie Lee Curtis' Laurie Strode, who became an alcoholic headmistress in Halloween H20 (a far superior sequel than everything else in David Gordon Greens aggressively stupid trilogy), Lovhewitt Julie James now works in education (a professor!) And she has withdrawn to her hometown near Twentysomethings.

The sharp young line -up, led by bodies body, outstanding chase sui miracle, glass onions madelnn cline and stereophonics Tony candidate Sarah Pidgeon, are all stronger than the characters that were given to them, and their dynamic case made less effective without the tragedy of the innocent of the high school and with an unusual attempt to reconfigure the opening accident. When the author director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (who made one of the sharpest and funniest teen comedies from Netflix, the author director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson got a little too much messed with the beats and never really finds a way to justify why the friends would not have asked at the beginning. But what Robinson understands is that the original two films are both films Real sincerity was underlined, and their repetition is confusing (it looks like a real film that in contrast to 2022's scream that looked like a Netflix film), and only takes seriously without eating on the smink dresses Smink-Smink-Smink-Smink. does Try to inject humor, it is mainly from a limited brand LA that draws guided meditations and astrology, but not much starts (I was really shocked that vaping was not used as a comedy source). It's not annoying enough to distract, but it's never as funny as it could be.

While the first film has achieved some really torn offspring (Sarah Michelle Gellar's last chase is still a seat in the edge of the seat), there is no equivalent tension with an increase in Gore instead. The death scenes are certainly scarce, but there is a rhythm that is somewhat out of the crotch, and Robinson is far more comfortable with the soap mystery. While the double bluff finale may lack the tension (both sequences that take place in daylight, is a real atmospheric killer), but the happy absurd is almost revealed again. This type of hyper-specific fan service has something charming that speaks some selected few with the brazen trust that everyone knows exactly what they are talking about. There is not only a surprising dream sequence-Cameo task, but also a mid-creditus sequence that is one of the slimest fanfic discounts that I have seen outside of a Marvel film (I am, a teenager from the 90s who grew up with these films, ruthlessly and successfully and successfully targeted?).

Early Buzz has proposed that a younger audience does not really know what happened last summer, and an older audience is not really important, and it is therefore possible that this is mainly a pop culture. But in a time of nostalgia overload (unsuspecting, legally blonde and urban legend are next), Robinson finds a way so as not to make it precisely necessary, but pleasant enough so that this is not really important. Maybe there is no summer, but that ensures an entertaining last hurray.
