I Know What You Did Last Summer
If you're going to bury the truth, make sure it stays buried.
I Know What You Did Last Summer is a pure fright machine of movie. This is a tale of a body that just won't stay dead.
After an accident on a winding road, four teens make the fatal mistake of dumping their victim's body into the sea. Exactly one year later, the dead man returns from his watery grave and he wants more than an apology.

This movie is one of those late 90's horror movies that I apparently completely missed out on during my high school years. That being said, this movie was alright, with ok acting, an ok script, and an ok plot line. It definately wasn't anything earth shattering, but it was some good old fashion horrific fun.Suspense - moviemonger
There are a few ghost movies that can give you the ultimate scare of your life. I got a similar effect once I saw the movie “I Know What You Did Last Summer“. The most thrilling part of the story is that it can actually happen in anyone’s life. So, once you watch the movie you get a lasting eerie and spooky feeling. The movie is actually based on an adaptation of Lois Duncan’s thriller about four teenaged friends who inadvertently get involved in a murder. The plot of the movie unfolds as the friends try to provide a cover for the hit and run case that they commit accidentally. The audience have to endure being on tenterhooks till they get to know who is murdering the rest of the friends. The killing of the friends takes place after a year of the accident, when they get a mysterious letter saying ‘I know what you did last summer’.
After receiving the mail the friends realize that their worst fears have come true and someone really knows about their past. The irony lies in the fact that the four friends, who were really very close a year back, now cannot even stand the sight of each other. However, the impending crisis does bring them together as they try to find out the person who had mailed the mysterious letter. There are many critics who believe that this teen flick was not as great as its counterpart ‘Scream’ but some still feel that the movie gave them quite a scare.Run of the mill teen terror - Coconut_Willy
Overused recipe? Really? I don't know how many of these films have been made and will continue to be made but here is another one. Interesting basic concept that (sadly) gets developed in a very predictable way. That is probably the main issue with this type of film; how can it be original when it's been remade so often? There are a few jumps and a few gruesome scenes but not much more than that. The cast is comprised mostly of very well known actors doing the expected acting job with a nice dialogue and semi-interesting characters. The sets and locations are nice, the soundtrack is good and the camera work is appropriate. Overall, this is a very average movie. If you have seen any number of such teen terror movies, you know exactly what to expect.
