If you liked I Know What You Did Last Summer, then watch these 5 movies

Digital Trends18-07-2025
More than 25 years after a group of teens first did something last summer, I Know What You Did Last Summer is back with a legacy sequel. It's far from the first of these revived horror franchises from the 1990s, but if you liked the slasher vibes of this new installment, we know exactly where you should go next.
These movies all share something in common with the new I Know What You Did Last Summer. Whether they're legendary horror movies or something a little bit newer, here are five similar movies you should check out:
Scream (2022)
Perhaps the movie most similar to I Know What You Did Last Summer, this new Scream is a legacy sequel that knows what to do. It follows a new cast of young characters who are being hunted down by a killer wearing a Ghostface mask. The teens then seek help from the now-adults who beat Ghostface the first time.

In addition to featuring a younger generation of stars, Scream is clever, funny, and knows its role as the fifth film in a franchise that has existed for 25 years. You couldn't ask for much more from a slasher.
You can watch Scream on Hulu.
Final Destination Bloodlines (2025)
Another legacy sequel that knows exactly what it's doing, Bloodlines might actually be the best movie in the Final Destination franchise. Like all of these movies, it is constructed around the notion that death is coming for a specific group of people, and often in remarkably elaborate ways.
Surprisingly, though, Bloodlines manages to find a new way into this particular conceit, one that suggests that we sometimes only inherit the worst things from the generations who came before us.
You can rent Final Destination Bloodlines on Amazon Prime Video.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
One of the foundational slasher movies, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, is maybe the scariest horror film ever made. The film follows a group of young people traveling across the country in a van who come across a group of cannibals who attack them with chainsaws in rural Texas.
The movie's brilliance is that its villains are mostly faceless and nameless. They just exist to kill our heroes, and the pure senselessness of their actions is part of the point. Even if you survive the movie's terror, you'll find yourself forever changed by what you watched.
You can watch The Texas Chainsaw Massacre on Tubi.
You're Next (2013)
As an underseen slasher-thriller, You're Next tells the story of a wealthy family who reunites at their parents' mansion in an attempt to bury the hatchet. When they begin to be picked off by masked, crossbow-wielding assassins, the family quickly realizes that they must band together to stay alive.
You're Next is thrilling and surprising and features just the right amount of gore and violence. Adam Wingard, who directed the movie, went on to make Godzilla vs. Kong, but this remains his best and most interesting movie to date.
You can watch You're Next on Tubi.
Freaky (2020)
Another great slasher comedy that got totally buried during the pandemic, Freaky combines a standard slasher movie with a body swap comedy to excellent results. The film stars Vince Vaughn as a serial killer who switches bodies with a high school girl; she suddenly becomes much more focused on getting her body back. Vaughn is excellent as a young woman trapped in the body of a middle-aged man, but just as good is Kathryn Newton as a teenage girl turned middle-aged man who wants nothing more than to kill as many people as he can.
You can watch Freaky on Amazon Prime Video.

Your Daily MomScope for July 27, 2025

It takes a village to raise a child. Sometimes we need a little extra guidance from the stars to manage motherhood. Momscope is here to help. Aries Your baby knows how to work the room. Watch as they smile and blow lots of kisses. Voila! The coveted cookie is theirs. If you try a similar but more subtle approach today, you're more likely to get what you want from people as well. Taurus You get enough cardio chasing the little one around the house. And toys and car seats are good substitutes for weights. Still, there's probably more you could be doing to insure you stay fit and healthy. Look into it today. Gemini When in doubt about what to do with the kiddos, start a creative movement. Today, have them gather the paints and glitter and stickers, then invite a few friends. That should be all it takes to get an arts festival rolling. Cancer Forming a creative partnership would benefit you today. If you team up with other moms in the neighborhood, you can share babysitters and save a bundle. Keep an eye out for other interesting possibilities along these lines. Leo This day has the potential to be a wonderful day, brilliant yet balanced. You'll have lots of ideas (surprising your other half with some lingerie you just bought is good). And you'll stay within budget as you carry them all out. What do the planets say about your love life? Receive cosmic advice with your Daily Love Horoscope. Virgo Two heads will prove better than one today. If you have some shopping to do, it might be better to go with a friend or your partner. You supply the analytical skills and logic, they can handle the emotional side of the purchase. Libra This promises to be a high-energy day. You can cross off a lot of items on that to-do list and still have time to take the tyke to practice or dance class. And you'll still have enough gas in the tank to make your partner an intriguing proposal. Scorpio This is an excellent day to toss ideas around with other people. Some lively exchanges will help you weigh the pros and cons of an important decision. Gather as much information as you can before you make it final. Sagittarius Aren't you glad you're a mom? You have cosmic permission to be just as silly and have as much fun with the kiddo as possible today. There are bound to be lots of knock-knock jokes and groaner puns, so get ready. Capricorn You're so ready to initiate new projects today. One might be that big cleanup around the house. Draw the line at the little one's room. Make it clear that it's not mom's job and that you expect to see some progress -- and soon. Aquarius You may realize that your little one has a different agenda today. You want them to engage in fun but educational pursuits. They want the computer game about the zombies that eat people's brains. Compromise is called for. Pisces You may be called upon to critique the tyke's art project. Such abstract art is not your forte, but do your best to find something positive to say. Asking 'what's it supposed to be?' will not help matters. Find your cosmic purpose. Receive personalized astrological guidance with Astrology+. Solve the daily Crossword

But the kiddo completely understands, no matter what. Cancer Today's the day to pass on some of your skill and knowledge as a great cook. Let your little tykes whisk an egg or roll out some dough.

Let them handle all the baby talk, while you handle refreshments and all the adult conversation. Scorpio Sure the kiddo wants to give a big party. But who will help them figure out what kind of cake, and should they invite the kid no one really likes and what besides Red Rover should they play? You can help them with all these details and more. Sagittarius It's so nice outside, who wants to head for a stuffy yoga studio? Try doing a few asanas in the backyard or park with the little one. They won't mind falling out of a headstand into nice soft grass at all! Capricorn It's a good thing you're so level-headed and grounded. Today, your kiddo may strap on wings and try to fly or see if they can hold their breath to beat the world record or some other crazy scheme. It's up to you talk them out of it today. Aquarius You may realize that your boss or someone else in charge has a different agenda today. Rather than create a power struggle, just go along with it for now. You can always keep your suggestions for improvement for another day. Pisces Love is in the air! You may want to find a sitter so you and the other half can spend some time together. If you feel like it, compose some poetry or find some other out-of-the-usual way to express your sentiments. Need a quick answer? Yes/No Tarot will offer guidance right now!

Ichiro Suzuki becomes comedian during Baseball Hall of Fame induction speech

COOPERSTOWN, NY. — The day was filled with passionate speeches, inspirational messages, and ended Sunday with a comedy show by the least suspecting Hall of Famer, with most of the audience unaware he even spoke English. Ichiro Suzuki, the first Japanese Hall of Famer in baseball history, brought down the house with one of the most humorous speeches since the late Bob Uecker. Suzuki, who has had a full-time interpreter since he arrived in the United States in 2001, delivered his entire speech in English, cracking jokes with a perfect delivery, entertaining the crowd of 30,000 at the Hall of Fame induction ceremony. He was one of five players inducted in the 76th induction ceremony, joined by CC Sabathia, Billy Wagner and the late Dick Allen and Dave Parker. 'People often measure me by my records,'' Suzuki said. '3,000 hits, 10 Gold Gloves, 10 seasons of 200 hits. Not bad, huh? But the truth is that without baseball, you would say, 'This guy is such a dumbass.'" Suzuki's comedy act was just beginning, reciting baseball stats, his 3,089 hits, his record 262-hit season, and saying how his career was recognized by the Baseball Writers Association of America, but it still wasn't good enough for the one anonymous writer who didn't vote for him, preventing him from joining Mariano Rivera as the only unanimous Hall of Famers in history. He paused, listened to the laughter from the crowd, and then with a perfect delivery said, 'Oh, by the way, and that offer for that writer to have dinner at my house has now ... expired.'' He thanked the Seattle Mariners and Hall of Fame GM Pat Gillick for believing in him and signing him in 2001, thanked the New York Yankees for his 2 ½ years with them, and Hall of Famer Derek Jeter for his valuable leadership. And then thanked the Miami Marlins for extending his career for three more years, but with a twist: 'Honestly, when you guys called to offer me a contract for 2015,'' Suzuki said, pausing again, 'I had never heard of your team.'' Suzuki's teammates all knew that he spoke perfect English, and had a delightful sense of humor, but now the baseball world became clued into his secret. 'I played with him for three years, so I knew he could do that,'' Sabathia said. 'I was just excited for people to get to know his personality and how funny he is.'' In the press conference after the ceremony, Suzuki said there was never any thought to delivering his speech in Japanese, saying it was important to him to provide humor to the fans and baseball officials in attendance in Cooperstown, while also making sure everyone understood the importance of respecting the game. 'I always said that being a Hall of Famer wasn't a goal,'' Suzuki said, 'but to make people laugh here was a goal of mine.'' The only time Suzuki spoke Japanese during his entire speech was thanking Hideo Nomo for giving him the courage to play Major League Baseball. 'Because of Hideo's courage,'' Suzuki said, my eyes opened to the idea of challenging myself by going somewhere I never imagined.' Nomo was the first Japanese player in 30 years to play in MLB in 1995, pitching for the Los Angeles Dodgers, and was an inspiration to Suzuki, who wrote an essay when he was in the sixth grade that he wanted to be a professional baseball player. 'I think you can imagine, there was much doubt when I tried to become the first position player from Japan in MLB,' he said. 'But it was more than just that. There was criticism and negativity. Someone even said to me, 'Don't embarrass the nation.' 'I encourage young players to dream, and dream big, but to also understand the difference between your dream and the goal. In order to make your dream your goal, you must be honest in thinking about what is important to achieve it.'' CC Sabathia hopes to see more Blacks in baseball Sabathia stressed throughout his speech and afterwards in a press conference, that he wants to do everything in his power to make sure he's not the last Black pitcher inducted into the Hall of Fame. He wants to be a role model in hopes of increasing the Black population of baseball, declining to just 6% on opening-day rosters this season. 'When I first started watching baseball, and Dave Parker was crushing homers,'' Sabathia said, 'the number of black players in the major leagues was at its highest, about 18%. Me and my friends played the game because we saw all of those guys on TV. There was always somebody who looked like me in a baseball unfiorm. 'Baseball has always been a great game for Black athletes, but the baseball culture has not always great for Black people. I hope we're starting to turn that around. ... 'I'm sitting here and thinking about it now, 'Who's next? Who's the next Black starting pitcher to win 20 games? Will there be another? I don't want to be the final Black pitcher standing here giving a Hall of Fame speech. I think it's on me and the next generation to find that next kid.'' Sabathia's speech also was effusive in praise for the women in his life, from his mother, Margie, to his aunts and grandmother, Ethel Rufus, raising him in Vallejo, California. He wouldn't be on stage this day, he said, if not for the love and support of his wife, Amber. His mother used to put on catcher's equipment to help him work on his pitching mechanics, and even talking about pitch selection in the garage. And he spent plenty of nights at his grandmother's house where he would pick grapefruits from her tree and throw them at a folding chair used as a strikezone in the back yard. When he wanted to work at Marine World as a teenager, his grandmother wouldn't let him, telling him he needed to focus on baseball. 'You'd be lucky to have even one of those women in your life,'' Sabathia said, 'and I had them all. A village of women who raised me, guided me, made me laugh, fed me, protected me, and a few times, literally save me, starting with my mom.'' Billy Wagner's wait finally ends Wagner, who had to wait until the 10th and final year of eligibility to enter the Hall of Fame while Suzuki and Sabathia made it on the first ballot, thanked dozens of teammates from Jeff Bagwell to Russ Springer to his pitching coaches to bullpen catchers to managers to writers. Wagner, 5-foot-10, is the second pitcher to be inducted under six feet tall. 'I wasn't the biggest, I wasn't left-handed [until twice breaking his right arm], I wasn't supposed to be here,' Wagner said. 'Perseverance isn't just a trait. It's a path to greatness. 'Being up here today, I feel like my baseball life has come full circle.' Dave Parker: Poet Parker, who died last month after battling Parkinson's since 2012, was able to let his son, David Parker II, present just what he wanted to say in his Hall of Fame speech, and wrote a poem before he passed. Here I am, 39. About damn time. I know I had to wait a little, but that's what you do with fine aged wine. I'm a Pirate for life. Wouldn't have it no other way. That was my family, even though I didn't go on Parade Day. I love y'all, the Bucs on my heart because those two championships I got, y'all played in the first part. I'm in the Hall now, you can't take that away. That statue better look good -- you know I got a pretty face. Top-tier athlete, fashion icon, sex symbol. No reason to list the rest of my credentials. I'm him, period. The Cobra. Known for my rocket arm, and I will run any catcher over. To my friends, families: I love y'all. Thanks for staying by my side. I told y'all Cooperstown would be my last ride.'' Dick Allen presented by his widow Allen's widow, Willa Allen, spoke for the Allen family, letting people know that her husband was a kind and passionate man, and was much more than just a Hall of Fame ballplayer. She told the story about the time a 16-year-old fan asked for his autograph at Dodger Stadium. They talked for two hours, and Allen wound up helping him throughout his life. He was in attendance Sunday at the age of 70. "It's not about where you come from, but where you're determined to go,'' Allen said. 'It's about principle, passion and determination.'' When the ceremony ended, the players retreated to the Otesaga Hotel where they had a dinner for Hall of Fame players only. No family members. No friends. Just the players and commissioner Rob Manfred. But, before they got together and sat down, Suzuki had a request to his new Hall of Fame teammates. 'I hope I can hold the values of the Hall of Fame,'' Suzuki said. 'But please, I am 51 years old now. So easy on the hazing.'' Follow Bob Nightengale on X @Bnightengale.
