7/10
A total classic
17 July 2022
What a perfectly 1990s cast: Jennifer Love Hewitt, Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Ryan Phillippe. There have been many sequels in the franchise, but there's nothing quite like the original I Know What You Did Last Summer. Totally tame by today's standards, this is my type of horror movie: one that's not too scary. It's much more of a thriller, with jump scares, ominous music, and beautiful girls gasping and screaming while their makeup still looks perfect.

Every once in a while, it's enormous fun to have a retro Halloween night and rent all the old scary movies. It adds nostalgia and reminds you of all those idyllic Halloweens when you were younger; if it's been a while since you've seen this one, rent it in the fall. It pairs very well with the first Scream and Final Destination. There's nothing juicier than a group of friends being tied together by secrets and crimes from their past, is there? That's why Pretty Little Liars was so successful! For a world without cell phones, old school slang, and cute fashions (can't we bring back crop tops?), this movie is a keeper.
