Summary of "Stupidest Movie I've Seen in Years"

In this scathing and humor-laced review of I Know What You Did Last Summer (the third film in the franchise), the reviewer dives deep into what they call the "stupidest movie" they've seen in years, highlighting just how bafflingly dumb the characters and plot are. Despite being a fan of bad horror films, this one apparently sets a new low with characters who make mind-numbingly terrible decisions at every turn—described as if "Patrick Star" and "idiot" fused into one.

The movie’s premise revolves around a tragic accident on the 4th of July where a reckless kid named Teddy almost gets hit by a car, which then crashes off a cliff, killing the driver Sam Cooper. The group calls the police but chooses not to report the accident out of irrational fear of legal trouble, even though no one was really at fault. This decision kicks off a year-long revenge killing spree by a mysterious figure dressed in the iconic fisherman’s slicker and wielding a hook, echoing the original 1996 film’s villain.

The reviewer mocks the characters’ complete lack of common sense—like Teddy ignoring clear warnings and literally brushing past the killer in a dark alley without noticing, or the group repeatedly staying in a murder house where blood is still fresh on the walls. Splitting up despite knowing a killer is on the loose, refusing to take basic precautions, and acting oblivious to obvious threats make the cast painfully dumb.

A major twist reveals that Freddy Prinze Jr.’s legacy character Rey is one half of the killer duo, teaming up with Stevie, a new character connected to the victim Sam Cooper. Their revenge motive is flimsy at best, with Rey wanting to preserve the town’s dark history and Stevie acting out of grief—despite both being equally guilty of covering up the accident. The reviewer calls this motive “dogshit” and “unhinged,” lamenting the predictable and lazy writing.

Jennifer Love Hewitt’s returning character Julie is also wasted, offering little help beyond vague advice and showing up unarmed to confront killers, which the reviewer finds absurd given her history and the stakes. The film’s tone is inconsistent, awkwardly mixing attempts at humor during tense scenes with serious moments, resulting in a bizarre identity crisis.

The movie ends with the survivors discussing killing Stevie, who apparently survived, and a mid-credit scene sets up yet another sequel with Julie teaming up with an old roommate to face a new threat. The reviewer sums up the film as insultingly dumb, poorly written, and filled with characters who make worse decisions than even the "dumbest person alive" would, making it a frustrating watch even for fans of bad horror.

Notable highlights:

Characters so dumb they ignore obvious threats and make the worst possible decisions repeatedly.
Freddy Prinze Jr. and Jennifer Love Hewitt return but are underused and poorly written.
The killer duo’s motivation is weak and illogical.
Awkward tonal shifts between attempted humor and horror.
The killer’s identity is revealed early, but disbelief keeps the audience guessing.
The film’s ending and mid-credit scene tease more terrible sequels.
