The 1970s and 80s were a fantastic time for horror, giving us classics like *Halloween*, *The Exorcist*, and *The Shining*. Then, in the mid-1990s, slasher films made a comeback, largely thanks to Wes Craven’s 1996 hit *Scream*. This revival continued into the early 2000s with movies like *Bride of Chucky* and *Freddy vs. Jason*, introducing a new generation to iconic slasher villains. Now, with so many films available on streaming services, it’s easier than ever to enjoy these movies – and one of the best from the 90s is now particularly easy to find.
You can currently watch the 1997 thriller *I Know What You Did Last Summer* on Paramount+ and Tubi (as of September 1st). The film, directed by Jim Gillespie and written by Kevin Williamson – the creator of the *Scream* screenplay – is based on a 1973 novel by Lois Duncan. It follows four teenage friends who are haunted by a mysterious killer with a hook a year after accidentally hitting a fisherman and covering it up. The movie stars Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, and Freddie Prinze Jr.
Why You Should Watch I Know What You Did Last Summer
It’s clear that *I Know What You Did Last Summer* is a loving tribute to both the slasher genre and the 1990s. The film embraces classic horror elements, featuring a captivating mystery that creates genuine suspense and a memorable villain – The Fisherman – who feels like he stepped right out of a local legend, complete with terrifying kills using his hook. Beyond the scares, the movie perfectly captures the ’90s with a cast that embodies the era, relatable teenage drama, and a fantastic soundtrack filled with hits from the time.
When *I Know What You Did Last Summer* came out, it received a mixed response from both critics and audiences (currently holding 46% and 41% ratings on Rotten Tomatoes). However, it became a significant movie, helping to bring the slasher genre back to life and setting the standard for teen slasher films that followed. It’s still considered a beloved cult classic and the strongest film in the *I Know What You Did Last Summer* series. The movie was also a financial success, earning over $125 million worldwide on a $17 million budget, which led to a franchise that now includes four films and a TV series, with another sequel planned for 2025.
