lukem-52760 I grew up watching all those AWESOME 90's slasher films after Scream started the new wave of slasher Thrillers & i loved those times of the 90's in my teens & couldn't wait for the next Horror hit & I know what you did last summer (1997) was a massive blockbuster hit & a Nostalgic classic of mine. This is actually my favourite of all those 90's slasher flicks i love the cast & the BRILLIANT atmosphere & music & the excellent small fishing town location setting!!! The movie has a darkness to it,a real sense of dread & with the old worn down looking fishing town makes this a great slasher,the setting is beautiful & similar to the little fishing coastal town in the Fog (1980) so that's a very good thing!!! Ben Willis is a scary killer too & very iconic & memorable with his wet looking fisherman coat & hook!!! Very cool & menacing looking. Yeah this movie was a huge summer hit & when i finally brought it on video i loved it & watched it many times on a summer night, a perfect summer time slasher & one of the best made & actually a very well acted proper Thriller with real drama & characters within the slasher parts & that's why this stands up way above the rest of the 90's slasher wave!!! This was made to be very good & not just another teen killer flick. Last summer also stands out for having real serious drama & sense of threat,you really feel for the damaged characters & their lives!!! Other good 90's slashers are of course Scream & Scream 2,The Faculty, Halloween H20 & Urban Legend these stood out as excellent well made slasher films & are all great

jerralagbayani What triggers me is that this film was pretty okay compared to the hate Wes Craven lovers give it. It never copied it and was probably only inspired by it. Has it ever came to anyone that in Scream there is no man with a hook gutting people, no throwing a man that you ran over into the sea, and no cast of characters watching out for a killer, without cops involved, around the beginning of July? Nope. I am very deeply annoyed. Now lets get with the rating part. I give this a 6/10 because it is a slasher film that really pushes your buttons into not knowing what's gonna happen next. It was quite bland towards the middle but other than that it was a Slash of a Good Time. What I especially like is how it messes with your mind every now and then, especially towards the end. Will be happy to rate the other two after I'm done with my list i need to watch.

Pumpkin_Man In honor of Independence Day, I decided to re-watch this and the sequel. It had been quite a few years since I've seen it. I grew up with these movies and I forgot how great they were. Creepy atmosphere, decent suspense, nice music and a very menacing killer. The Fisherman is underrated and needs more attention in the horror world. He's up there with Michael and Jason. He's not some unkillable monster, he's a human in a rain slicker wielding a hook. It's creepy that we don't really see his face or know his motivation til the end of the film. There's one scene that's very reminiscent of Halloween, which is my all-time favorite movie.Julie James, Ray Bronson, Helen Shivers and Barry Cox are all on their way home at night from partying on the 4th of July. They accidentally hit someone and throw his body in the river. One year later, each of the teens receive a letter that says 'I know what you did last summer' They are all stalked and hunted by the Fisherman til he gets revenge. If you love slashers from the 90's, you'll love I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER!!!

Python Hyena I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997): Dir: Jim Gillespie / Cast: Jennifer Love Hewitt, Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, Anne Heche: We have all heard the term regarding our sins finding us out. Here is a horror film about a watchful presence out to advocate that term. It regards four high school graduates who are out racing and drinking until they hit someone. They dump the body to avoid a manslaughter charge then make a pact for secrecy. A year later they all receive notes that say, "I know what you did last summer." Jennifer Love Hewitt discovers a body in the trunk of her car. Sarah Michelle Gellar wakes up with her locks sheared. Ryan Phillippe is nearly hit by a car. This leaves Freddie Prinze Jr. to take the blame. Anne Heche makes an appearance as a nut case. This is generally an effective horror film with an interesting theme but unfortunately the killer is someone who had no previous screen time. The third act boils down to the standard chase and slash with that ever familiar cheat ending that opens a sequel but director Jim Gillespie presents an eerie atmosphere that works in its favor. We can understand the dilemma the characters face even if our circumstances are greatly different. We have all tried to hide something at some point. The past can haunt us like a hangover on the dawn of a heavy drinking night. Score: 8 / 10
