United Kingdom	Darren Bignell Empire	"Until it gives up at the two thirds mark, this is a decent companion piece to 'Scream', but the final act needs to be taken to with a meathook (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Derek Elley Variety	"A polished genre piece with superior fright elements that should perform at better than normal theatrical levels for this type of picture".	POS
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"The best shot in this film is the first one. Not a good sign (...) The shot leads us to anticipate dread, horror and atmospheric gloominess, but, alas, it is not to be (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly	"The killer himself is generically scary (though his pranks with corpses are cleverly staged), and the story, by the end, has more holes than the bodies do. There’s no griping about the cast, though"	NEU
United States	Trace Thurman Bloody Disgusting	"[It] really is a pretty great film (...) Had it come out before 'Scream', 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' probably would have had a much better reception."	POS
United States	David Nusair Reel Film	"A disappointingly uneven effort that may be a cut above its teen-friendly brethren (...) Yet it's impossible not to have expected something more than just a passable time-waster given the caliber of Williamson's first screenplay (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Lisa Alspector Chicago Reader	"A poorly conceived 1997 thriller with plenty of empty references."	NEG
