I Know What You Did Last Summer star explains ending twist: “Some people will get mad”

I Know What You Did Last Summer 2025 spoilers follow.

In simpler terms, the actor who played in the movie “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” Freddie Prinze Jr., has shared insights about the ending of the latest version, admitting that it’s a controversial conclusion.

In the upcoming movie, the actor takes on the character of Ray Bronson once more, a role he played 27 years ago in the initial films.

In the movie, Ray is depicted as the proprietor of a bar and Stevie’s superior. However, it is the actions that Ray takes throughout the film that the actor has stated may provoke strong reactions among viewers.

Full spoilers follow after the image, so be warned.

It’s been discovered that Ray has taken on the role of the murderer this time, collaborating with Stevie to resurrect the tale of The Fisherman as a means to exact vengeance against the town of Southport. He accuses the very place itself of the years of pain and suffering he has endured.

He shared with ScreenRant that the filmmakers made a significant departure by shattering the psyche of character Ray Bronson, and as a result, he portrays a damaged individual.

The impact of it can be either constructive or destructive, depending on your approach. For Julie, it strengthens her, whereas for Ray, it weakens him.” (He went on to say…)

He has not addressed or handled the issue. He did not receive therapy, which would have provided an opportunity for him to discuss his emotions. Instead, he internalized these feelings, leading to the buildup of anger and sexual desire that he now bears responsibility for.

Similar to many men of our age, our emotional range seems limited to statements like, “She’s attractive,” or “I’d like to have a confrontation.” We rarely discuss anything else. Over time, this pattern of avoidance can lead to a 25-year cycle of not addressing deeper issues.

As a fellow gaming enthusiast, I’ll be honest – when the big reveal unfolds, I know some of us might feel angry. I get it, because Ray was someone we cherished, and he symbolized so much for us. I understand where you’re coming from.

Should you feel upset, please remember I poured all my effort into this performance. I was thrilled to embody this role, and carrying the emotional toll home with me each evening – that’s no joy. And arriving at work prepared to give another stellar performance the next day – it’s far from enjoyable.

Between the phrases ‘action’ and ‘cut,’ it brought me the most enjoyment. It was a truly unique, memorable experience.

Growing up, I’ve always dreamt of stepping into the shoes of the terrifying monsters from horror flicks, donning the menacing masks. And here, in this game, I found a glimpse of that fantasy – it’s as close as it ever will be, unless maybe one day I get to become the Predator!

The new I Know What You Did Last Summer is out in cinemas now.

The latest edition of Digital Spy’s print issue, titled “Oasis – Live in ’25,” is now available! You can purchase it from your local newsstands or online for only £8.99.
