Released in 1997, I Know What You Did Last Sumer came at the beginning of the slasher movie revival craze kicked-off by 1996’s Scream. While nowhere near as good, or as clever as Scream, both films were written by the same individual – Kevin Williamson. Both also told similar stories about teens dealing with past traumatic events while also grappling with a killer in disguise. Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, and Freddie Prinze Jr. starred. Here’s the synopsis:
The film was followed a year later by a downright terrible PG-13 rated sequel, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, and then a 2006 direct-to-video follow-up, I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer. There’s no word on what the TV series will be about, but I’m guessing it will involve some Millenials using their SnapChats and trying to get away from a killer, or something along those lines.
A year after running over a fisherman and dumping his body in the water, four friends reconvene when Julie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) receives a frightening letter telling her that their crime was seen. While pursuing who he thinks is responsible for the letter, Barry (Ryan Phillippe) is run over by a man with a meat hook. The bloodletting only increases from there, as the killer with the hook continues to stalk Julie, Helen (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and Ray (Freddie Prinze Jr.).
