‘I Know What You Did Last Summer' movie review: Return to Southport fails to reel you in
The latest reboot after the show was cancelled, is a sequel to I Still Know What You Did Last Summer and features the two survivors of the 1997 Southport massacre, Julie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) and Ray (Freddie Prinze Jr.).
I Know What You Did Last Summer (English)
Director: Jennifer Kaytin Robinson
Cast: Madelyn Cline, Chase Sui Wonders, Jonah Hauer-King, Tyriq Withers, Sarah Pidgeon, Billy Campbell, Gabbriette Bechtel, Austin Nichols, Freddie Prinze Jr., Jennifer Love Hewitt
Runtime: 111 minutes
Storyline: Five friends are haunted by a death they were responsible for a year ago
Southport has a new bunch of terrorised friends — Danica (Madelyn Cline), Ava (Chase Sui Wonders), Milo (Jonah Hauer-King), Teddy (Tyriq Withers) and Stevie (Sarah Pidgeon).
After Danica and Teddy's engagement party, the five friends go for a drive on the winding cliff road where a terrible accident occurs. Stevie, who had a problem with substance abuse, just got cleaned up and was working at Ray's bar when she joined the friends on the fateful cliff road drive. The five friends decide to keep quiet about their involvement and go their separate ways.
A year later, Ava returns to Southport for Danica's bridal shower. The events of the previous year naturally have affected the friends. Teddy, whose father, Grant, (Billy Campbell) a wealthy real estate mogul who 'scrubbed the internet' of all mentions of the earlier killings, spirals out of control prompting Danica to break their engagement. Danica is now engaged to sweet Wyatt (Joshua Orpin).
On her flight to Southport, Ava meets Tyler (Gabbriette Bechtel) who hosts a true crime podcast called Live, Laugh, Slaughter (one wonders how slaughter is a laughing matter) and is coming to North Carolina to follow up on the 1997 Southport killings.
Soon enough Danica gets an anonymous note saying, yes, 'I Know What You Did Last Summer,' and it all starts again — the hook, slicker, hat, blood and bodies. The kills are not particularly imaginative, the chases are on the wrong side of thrilling and the final reveal will have your eyes roll right out of their sockets.
While it was nice to see Prinze Jr. and Hewitt reprise their roles, I Know What You Did Last Summer offers nothing new by way of plot, character or dialogue. The young cast act for all they are worth and the effort shows. The movie provides unintentional laughs with memories of Keenen Ivory Wayans' Scary Movie (2000). Unless, one can come up with radically new twists to the slasher formula, it is probably time to lay the hooks and ghostface to rest. Sigh.

Charlotte Ritchie talks about her experience filming ‘Code of Silence'
Mumbai: English actress Charlotte Ritchie, who steps into detective mode for the first time as DS Ashleigh Francis in the gripping new British crime drama Code of Silence, said that her character is good at what she does and quite intuitive, so she's been fun to play. Speaking about her role, Ritchie said, 'She's been a detective sergeant at Kent Canterbury police for quite a while, and confident in her job. She's very instinctive and not fully by the book, but definitely not a maverick either. 'She's good at what she does and quite intuitive, so she's been fun to play. But where she excels in work, there's a marked contrast with the chaos of her home life.' What drew Ritchie to the project wasn't just the character, but the story's fresh perspective, she added, 'I thought it was an interesting way of telling a story, with the focus being Alison's point of view. People love crime dramas – and a lot of them are brilliant – but this felt different and refreshing in its perspective and the themes it was dealing with.' 'It's about the way we communicate, the way the world sees Deaf people and interacts with them, underestimates them and keeps them at arm's length.' Ritchie said that it plays out against the backdrop of an already strong narrative about an inexperienced young woman who finds herself way over her head. 'I also knew that Rose Ayling-Ellis was playing Alison and she's brilliant, so connected and alive when she's acting. There's an attentiveness to her that was captivating.' Sharing her experience about what it was like working on a set with such diversity, she added, 'It's so great to have a variety of outlooks and experiences onset and in life. There were things that were subtly different: I began to notice that hearing people rely a lot on not necessarily looking at each other when they speak, but everyone was learning on set.' The actress said that it meant that people looked at each other more, considered each other more and took a second to make sure someone had understood what they were saying. Said the actress: 'You just thought a little bit more about the person next to you and how they might be experiencing the day, and became more conscious of the way that you're behaving in relation to other people. It binds everyone together.' The series puts the unsung powers of silence front and center, following Alison Brooks, a smart but struggling deaf canteen worker with an extraordinary knack for lip-reading. Suddenly swept into a high-stakes undercover operation by the cops, Alison finds herself navigating criminal conspiracies, double lives, and an emotionally charged connection with main suspect Liam Barlow. The British crime drama lands exclusively on Lionsgate Play on August 1.
