I’ll be honest: I don’t hold any of the earlier I Know What You Did Last Summer movies in very high regard, and I didn’t have huge expectations for this legacyquel, which I have to assume exists because Scream got a successful legacyquel a few years ago.

That’s something that’s happening a lot these days. Though there are still occasional reboots or prequels, this very specific kind of sequel — in which beloved aging stars reprise classic roles and pass the torch to younger successors — is becoming increasingly common in the American film industry. These movies are all about revitalizing old franchises through the notion of legacy, leading to this current wave of what we could call “legacyquels.”
