I Know What You Did Last Summer turns 25: Why a murderous fisherman hooked so many moviegoers
With the success of director Wes Craven and then-newbie screenwriter Kevin Williamson’s horror hit, which revitalized the slasher genre, Hollywood was eager to pack multiplexes with more scary movies about teenagers struggling to outrun and unmask a
relentless, stab-happy killer. With a script by Williamson , and a Peak ’90s teen heartthrob cast—Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, and Freddie Prinze, Jr.—was rushed into production by Columbia Pictures and a mini-phenomenon was born, one whose impact still resonates 25 years after introducing audiences to a hook-wielding fisherman.
to convincing Hollywood that their passion for the OG movie warranted a limited series adaptation/reimagining’s passionate pocket of fandom has kept this cornerstone of ’90s horror thriving, in part because it offers a big helping of re-watchable nostalgia porn.Whether you saw it with your high school pals on opening weekend, or discovered it later in life on cable, DVD,’s continued appeal seems to be largely found in its time-capsule, guilty-pleasure roots.
As in-fighting rages among the guilty teens, the body count increases, as does the number of red herrings that don’t lead anywhere and don’t service the story. And the tried-and-true horror movie trope of having an inept police force investigate a string of serial killings reaches a new level of incompetence here, when Helen tells the cops about a murder that they don’t appear to follow up
on. Nor do they appear remotely concerned after the film’s bloody climax, when Julie has seemingly defeated the killer and they find a boat full of fresh corpses.
