Steven Rea Philadelphia Inquirer An enjoyable formulaic fearfest. Rated: 3/4 Jul 15, 2025 Full Review Joe Holleman St. Louis Post-Dispatch This movie lacks all of the elements that made [Scream]... a fun ride -- namely humor, suspense and good acting, Jul 15, 2025 Full Review Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald It's a nifty piece of writing, even if the absence of psychological underpinnings mean that it's not much more than an exercise in popular mechanics. Jul 15, 2025 Full Review Noah Berlatsky Everything is Horrible (Substack) Unusually emphatic in its giggling assault on the young and all they stand for—sex, dreams, hopes, high spirits, and, in particular, the supplanting of their elders. Jul 23, 2025 Full Review Rachel Wagner Rachel's Reviews (YouTube) they capture the sense of anxiety and fear of being chased and attacked. Effective slasher Jul 23, 2025 Full Review Stephen A. Russell Orion's Shoulder (Substack) Not terrible. Not dull. Just ok, and infinitely inferior to Scream. Jul 18, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Pedro Henrique C I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) is a film with very dumb characters and a script full of silly dialogue. The central story is quite disappointing and also fails to develop anything. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/04/25 Full Review Amirtaha N I was actually enjoying this more than I expected throughout, but I hoped for some good explanation in the end and all I got is a schloppy revelation that doesn’t explain a lot of things that have happened during the movie thus leaving me feeling tricked and cheated on. Would have been more fun if the events happening had an actual reason behind them Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/02/25 Full Review Becks A An absolute classic & rite of passage for all slasher fans! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/23/25 Full Review Jordan L. Love this movie it is a great splash of love this movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/13/25 Full Review Oaklee D A 90s slasher that takes a little while to get going but once it does it is a whole lot of fun. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/13/25 Full Review Emmy K I think this movie was amazing! It was suspenseful, terrifying but in a fun way. I had a great time watching this movie even though I was super scared! If you haven’t seen it I’d say it’s a must-see. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/11/25 Full Review Read all reviews
