2025 vs 1997: Does the New Slasher Live Up to the Classic?
from Fantasy for the Ages · host Jim Scriven
2025 gave us a new I Know What You Did Last Summer — and yes, this is a true sequel, not a reboot.In this spoiler-lite review, I break down whether this 2025 follow-up to the 1997 slasher classic could recapture the magic that made the original so iconic… or whether this is a sequel that never really needed to exist in the first place.We’ll talk about:• How the film compares to the original• The surprisingly strong script and plot twists• Why Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. completely outshine the new cast• The modern slasher elements, kills, and production value• That very weird ending after the ending• And whether this sequel actually weakens the legacy of a horror classicI enjoyed this movie—but enjoyment doesn’t always mean justification.If you’re a fan of modern slashers, mystery-driven horror, or just wanted to see Hewitt and Prinze back in these roles one more time, this review is for you.👇 Drop your thoughts in the comments:Did you love it?
