Julie James was a better lead. She was empathetic, selfless and sweet. Helen was the best friend. And she was a little mean girl-ish, not heroine material. Barry was a douche, but Ray was the worst. I always laugh every time he asks if Julie is ok, after Barry brutalized her. I mean, it’s your girlfriend! You should at least try to interfere, and not let her being bruised and chocked by that brute, lol.

Julie's life was the most affected by her guilt. Yea, Helen went to NYC and failed, but that happens to almost everyone who goes there to be an actor. But SMG brought more to her character. Much more charisma. Possibly the fault of the writers for giving Julie's character not much to do beyond look sad, blink a lot, and scream.

I've always had a soft spot for Jennifer Love Hewitt, since the movie Can't Hardly Wait. But, Sarah Michelle Gellar is a way better character in this movie. Her as Buffy for so long and then being in the Scooby-Doo movies for two films as Daphne, lots of wonderful dreams to be had as a kid.

I think I saw an interview where Jennifer said they were going to play the opposite roles but she didn't want her mother to have to see her get killed off, so they swapped them around. But I don't know how true that is, since Sarah fits Helen more than she does Julie.
This is one of the most underrated slashers ever. Constantly compared to Scream even though they have absolutely nothing in common whatsoever. From an atmosphere standpoint, the movie is so successful at being ominous, constantly and the blue lighting throughout reminds me of Halloween. The setting and fisherman town creates such a unique time and place. Last Summer is not a knock off. It has literally no similarities. It’s more 80s in style than anything. Helens chase scene is the best chase scene of all time. I do think this is a great film. I never hear a single solitary argument for why it isn’t. People just say it’s a ripoff and I’m like what??? Last Summer was written but the writer of Scream but they feel completely different and Williamson was going for something entirely different.

Julie's character is indeed uninteresting and Freddie Prinze Jr acts... Poorly. So, the leads steal our attention while Barry's vulnerability arc never fully completes and Helen gets an undeserved death (reminds me of Suspiria in that sense). I mean, it's a wasted opportunity, but the pieces that work, they work greatly.

@@nitehunter91 I also disagree that Julie was a bad character. The film needs a guilt ridden character. I do agree she’s far less likable. I’d be crazy if anyone but Helen was my favorite character. It Julie is critical and I feel JLH did a fantastic job with what she was challenged to do. I would also agree that I’d have preferred Helen and Barry lead. That’s def a criticism I can accept and agree with. But the film still needed Julie and FPJ was perfectly fine. A bit bland, absolutely. But not a bad performance by any means. We can prob just not keep the chat going since we won’t really agree. But PS - Scream is literally perfect and the best acting I’ve ever seen in a slasher. Like wtf kind of comment is that.

I revisited this movie last night specifically because of this review. On the whole, it was a nice trip down memory lane. I had forgotten how high a production this was, there were a lot of very well lit night scenes (although I think they could've done a lot better these days with low light performing digital cameras). My biggest complaint was that was the same as yours: Jennifer love Hewitt's character was extremely annoying. She was basically pointless (Freddie Prince Jr. was running a tight second for annoying LOL).

The locations, the cast, the blue at night, its a really good looking film. I love Halloween and Friday the 13th but they are low budget, with the grainy look, mostly tripod or handheld, they feel a bit grindhouse, it's rare to get a slasher done on this budget.

I remember having debates between the similarities and differences with Christopher Pike's Teen Thriller books and RL Stine's Fear Street Series back in the days. I always thought Christopher Pike went for more violence ,had gore and grit that was more mature in its writing. He would go into otherworldly themes and scopes whereas RL Stine was more horror teen scare but both were great in their own approach to what they brought to the table.
The music is stunning, the cinematography is high class and Anne Heche is amazing. Those 3 things elevate this film beyond a level it has any business falling in to. I think this is solid.
Fellow Christopher Pike fan here! Those covers are just amazing-I grew up wishing I could live in them. It’s a shame the style isn’t as popular in YA as it was; the painted covers are way more evocative than the photographs used in many of today’s YA books.

I’ve never understood why people hated this movie so much. I love it! You’re spot on about Julie being a pretty weak character but the moments of suspense outweigh the shortcomings. It was also my first slasher movie when it ran on TNT during the afternoon one day or something. A different world back then.
You should review Martyrs, I know it's a pretty brutal movie, but I want to hear what you think about it :)

I second this, would be nice to see Chris review some extreme cinema.
This movie is always nostalgic to me because my friend & I skipped school at lunch and saw this as a Friday Matinee. My feelings for this movie are tied to that memory.
I have a soft spot for both this and Urban Legend. I went to see Urban Legend when I was in college and we actually were in a folklore class focused on the genre of urban legends. A bunch of us decided to count all the urban legends used in the film. There are over 20! You have to pay attention to lots of background dialogue to see some of them but I love the attention to detail in that film. Also, it's one of the few slashers with a female villain.
Man, the nostalgia. I remember that whole Kevin Williamson era of slashers. For some reason i was always a lil underwhelmed by the killers visual appearance in this. The most memorable thing about the movie is prime Hewitt twirling around calling out to the killer in frustration. Incredibly spoofable material. Definitely a step (or 3) down from Scream, but if you're gonna watch a ton of slashers this month, it wouldn't hurt to make this one of them.

@couldn't think of a username Almost forgot about that one! Yeah The Falculty was a good one. Been awhile since I watched it though. I'd have to agree those are his 3 best. I saw Urban Legend long ago, but cant recall anything special about it.

Helen has always been my favourite horror character of all time. great review Chris. thank you for mentioning Sarah Michelle Gellar performance, she is my favourite famous person ever and not many reviews on this film comment on her performance and for me this was her best after cruel intentions
Always love these times of year since I can expect constant reviews from you. Finally getting to college at Cleveland State (5 years late due to military service) for film and I just can’t tell you enough how much I enjoy you’re content, and the kind of impact it’s had on me and my decisions to pursue a film career. Keep up the great work Chris, been and early viewer and I’ll always come a-runnin at the notification of a new vid 👍
I love this campy pulpy slasher. SMG is definitely the high point and the only character you genuinely feel bad for
did any straight guy born in the 90's not have JLH and SMG as their fantasy celeb crushes? I doubt it

I'm a straight woman and I had a big girl crush on them.
This is the movie that got me into horror. I was 7 when I saw the trailer on the VHS for Anaconda and I became obsessed. I begged my mom for weeks before she finally let me rent it from Blockbuster. It'll always have a special place in my heart.
Great review! Love this movie , Sarah and Jennifer love still had a special place in my heart from back then.
With your inspiration, I've been trying out movie recommendations. 😀 Love from India❤️
I never thought that Stuckmann would ever review a Jennifer Love Hewitt films
Don't forget those nostalgic VHS commercials right before the movie starts, Chris. Those nostalgic appetizers are the fondest memories I have of any Disney-animated movie, & why I'm open to getting a VCR again, some point in the future.
Gellar is really good in this, but Anne Heche also gives a very interesting, underrated performance as Missy. She's got just a few minutes of screentime, but gives enough to suggest a life outside of the plot. Nicely done.

The original poster didn't have any of the actors on it, only the hand covering the face. When the movie became a surprise hit, they took pictures from a random photo shoot and updated the poster
Did you hear, there's a third movie coming out next year, and it's called 'I Know You didn't do Shit Last Summer'
This is 100% why you are one of my favorite reviewers. I love the way you see cinema. Although a movie may not be A+ material, the fact that you see it as enjoyable speaks volumes. I’ll always see a movie as “great” when it does it’s intended purpose which is to entertain. Thank you Chris! Love your channel!
Hey Chris. Since you've mentioned "Urban Legend" can you please review it? I feel that its highy underated movie. Unknown to most of the audience. For sure it is guilty pleasure but for me super enjoyable one. Its totaly self aware, its making fun of horror tropes and cliches and has cameos of horror leegnds. What else do you need?
I haven't seen this since it came out in theaters, but it's absolutely burned into my brain because I went to see it with a dude I knew from college, without realizing he was gay and that he meant for it to be a date. I had to politely let him know later that I was flattered but didn't swing that way. (I at least tried to let him down easier than the girls who shot me down at the time.) Probably my most awkward moviegoing experience ever.
When you mentioned Christopher Pike, I thought you were talking about the captain of the Enterprise from the Star Trek pilot episode.
Also nice to see Ryan Phillippe and Sarah Michelle Gellar together. You know, because of the ultimate guilty pleasure "Cruel Intentions"....which I will watch at some point today because of this review. Thanks, man. Thanks a lot!
I recently played Alan wake and loved the references to this movie
If they had called the police when they had hit Ben Loomis with the car the police could of discovered Ben Loomis murdered that Eagen kid for the death of his daughter. The moral of the story is do the right thing!

Lol, it's Billy Loomis in Scream and Ben Willis in IKWYDLS.
lol at the montage of JLH screaming and SMG's character was more compelling
Stuckmann has no idea how closely his reviews this season are paralleling my own viewings. Here at my base, we are doing a slasher movie theme every weekend and he keeps reviewing movies that we're watching. Also, I love this movie. Sarah Michelle Gellar's whole chase scene is incredibly tense. The whole thing is this harrowing fight for survival that is actually tragic to watch.
2:25 “because of that I find myself enjoying a lot of films from that time now that we’re considered at one point bad” I know exactly what you mean about going back to old films that at the time we’re poorly received. For some reason I have been doing that with old superhero movies. It’s really interesting to see the 2000s superhero genre and how it started to get more popular before the explosion with the MCU. One of my favorite superhero movies right now is ang Lee’s Hulk (2003) partially yes for nostalgia and a bit of a guilty pleasure but I actually really enjoy what he tried to do with that movies psychology behind Banners development into the hulk. Anyway getting off topic here, just wanted to point out and say lately that’s something I’ve also been doing Chris Stuckmann!
Silence of the Lambs review please..........😭
SMG was definitely the star of this movie. I remember thinking that as a teen. Jennifer's character was flat, 2D and unlikeable

I love SMG, but that’s exactly what I thought of her character. The dumb blonde with big tits, only written by someone who knows how to give depth to her cardboard personality.
IKWYDLS was still fresh when released during the 90s slasher revival. Kevin Williamson was at the top list and I think the movie was released in the very right moment. I like it a lot too. It has a darker atmosphere and the cast did a pretty good job, even J. Love Hewitt, despite the fact that her character is, like you said, pretty much useless. Kevin did slip on that after creating Sydney, which became a reference in the genre for obvious reasons. At the same time I feel that he did maintain all those cliche and stereotyped elements on purpose to Jen's character. Well, who knows! And I might be wrong, but I think I read somewhere that IKWYDLS was one of Kevin's first screanplays, snubbed by all studios, and they only green lighted it after Scream success and pre-production started immediately after that. And I agree about Sarah and her sequence, very good indeed. After Scream 2, a movie magazine in Brazil wrote a front page article about why Sarah Michelle Gellar was being considered a promising next gen movie actress, the name of that article was "SCREAM QUEEN", it was very interesting in fact. And they were not wrong... She nailed in Cruel Intentions and in The Grudge after that, even though the movie itself isn't that good. A shame that Hollywood turned its back on her as it did happen so early on.
Jennifer Love Hewitt, Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Philippe, Chemical Brothers in the trailer... Chandler Bing: ''Could this movie BE more 90's??''
