These Movie Plot Twists SUCK!
5. I Still Know What You Did Last Summer
Hooo boy are we kicking this off with an absolute stinker! While the original I Know What You Did Last Summer might hold up about as well as a rotten fish in this day and age, the sequel somehow is even more rancid when it comes to its plot twists, to the point that it's almost impossible to take this supposed horror movie seriously.
The big reveal here is that the real killer of the piece is actually Will Benson, one of central star Julie's old college friends. Shock! Gasp! Betrayal! However, before this twist has any chance of settling on the "ok that's a pretty fun twist" you suddenly begin to realize the cascade of failures that are attached to this decision.
Let's begin for example with the big one. WHY BOTHER GOING TO THESE LENGTHS WILL YOU !*$% DONUT HEAD? You take Jule and all of her friends on holiday just so you could kill them one by one? What was the point? To have some sun, sea, and slashing? A weekend trip to Gateshead would have been fine enough plus there no one would even care about finding the bodies. Win-win! (I lived there so I can say this)
Also let's not forget that the twist is monumentally stupid when you realize it couldn't have been anyone else at all as literally, all other "suspects" are too dumb, high, or both to have pulled this off.
And finally, the main event, the absolute whopper of whiff that is the fact that Will Benson is actually Ben's Son aka the offspring of the original serial killer that the group offed last time around. This moment, when I saw it in cinema caused me to burst out laughing at how utterly stupid a twist within a twist it was. It adds precisely nothing to the film and only serves to detract what little there was to love. The fact that it even got its own line "Ben's Son?" hammers home this point like a nail to the pee hole how utterly braindead a movie this was.
