Movie Reviews of I Know What You Did Last Summer
Movie Review: They Wish Now They Had Called The Police!
Summary: 5 Stars
"I Know What You Did Last Summer" is a modern slasher gem. This motion picture, along with "Scream," revitalized the slasher film industry. The screenplay for both were written by Kevin Williamson, former video clerk. "I Know What You Did Last Summer" is based on the best-selling young adult horror novel of the same title written by Lois Duncan. The occult thriller "Summer of Fear," starring Linda Blair, was also based on a novel written by Duncan.
In "I Know What You Did Last Summer," four teenagers are joyriding on a winding road on the cliffs high above the ocean. They accidentally strike a man with their car. Instead of contacting the authorities, they foolishly throw the body into the water. Unfortunately, the victim is still alive.
The next summer, the four estranged teenagers return to town where they are greeted by threatening notes. Soon they are being stalked by someone wearing a fisherman's black slicker and carrying a curved hook.
A quaint fishing village, beautiful ocean scenery, and the celebratory atmosphere of the annual Croaker Festival highlight this suspenseful film that stars an ensemble of highly successful young actors. Anne Heche gives the best performance as the country girl who likes to chop up wild game. Most memorable scene: Someone is hacked to death in the alley while their screams are drowned out by the band marching by only a few feet away.
"I Know What You Did Last Summer" is a great mystery in the vein of such 80's revenge horror classics as "My Bloody Valentine" and "Prom Night." It has a downbeat, open ending that is so typical of that era. It is a must see for anyone who enjoys good slasher fare.
Summary of I Know What You Did Last Summer
As they celebrate their high school graduation, four friends are involved in a hit-and-run accident when their car hits--and apparently kills--a pedestrian on an isolated roadway. They dispose of the body and vow to keep the incident a secret, but a year later somebody starts sending them letters bearing the warning "I Know What You Did Last Summer." At that point the panicked foursome becomes the target of an elusive serial killer whose disguise consists of a fisherman's slicker and a lethal ice hook. Part mystery and part slasher flick, this thriller was heavily hyped as a follow-up to Scream by screenwriter Kevin Williamson (who later created the TV series Dawson's Creek), and like Scream it's a showcase for a teenage cast including Jennifer Love Hewitt and Sarah Michelle Gellar. And while this shocker isn't as inspired as Scream, it's guaranteed to give its target audience a few good thrills as it dives toward a routine climax of mayhem and murder. Based (rather loosely) on the popular novel by Lois Duncan. --Jeff ShannonHorror DVD Video
