Synopsis: After a post-graduation Fourth of July beer blast, four tipsy teens accidentally smash up a pedestrian with their car, and, in a panic, dispose of the almost-dead body in the ocean. Sure enough,... After a post-graduation Fourth of July beer blast, four tipsy teens accidentally smash up a pedestrian with their car, and, in a panic, dispose of the almost-dead body in the ocean. Sure enough, the following summer, the reunited group is stalked by a mysterious figure clad in fisherman's garb--replete with fish hook. A putative echo of screenwriter Kevin Williamson's mega-hit "Scream," substituting that movie's inside-jokiness for genuine feelings of guilt and angst. [More]

It can't even lay claim to the thin joy of being a tremendously bad and trashy wallow in the gutter. It's just... useless.

...a tedious, distinctly by-the-numbers slasher flick.

A reasonably well-made low-end pic that serves as a cautionary tale for callow teens. [Blu-Ray]

A depressingly routine slasher film.

Often feels more like a perfume commercial than a “horror movie”.

O ponto forte de 'Pânico' é o calcanhar de Aquiles de 'Eu Sei o Que Vocês Fizeram no Verão Passado': em ambos os casos, o roteiro de Kevin Williamson.

A smart, sharply drawn genre film with a moral center and a solid cast.
