 I Know What You Did Last Summer I Know What You Did Last Summer Quote: I Know What You Did Last Summer is a 1997 American horror film. The film stars Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe and Freddie Prinze Jr.. The screenplay was written by Kevin Williamson, writer of Scream, and very loosely based on Lois Duncan's popular novel of the same title. The film was followed by two sequels, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer and the straight-to-DVD release I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer. The latter film did not star any of the cast from the previous two.
The film received mixed reviews from critics. However, the film was highly successful, grossing $125,500,000 at the box office. It was also nominated for and won multiple awards. As a result the film has been parodied and referenced in popular culture.

Somewhat enjoyable. It's better than the original F13, The Grudge, and Hostel, if we put the trashed copycat films in one grouping.

Not terrible for a teen slasher (granted, this was only the first one after Scream and was before the glut of them).
A movie like this would probably have worked better more as a drama about guilt and its implications (like the original novel by Lois Duncan was more like), but, whatever.
Sarah Michelle Gellar's chase scene around the department store is by far the most memorable sequence.

Enjoyable, and I can watch it whenever I see it on without wanting to change the channel.

The best of the post scream slasher films, and its most likely because they had the same writer as the first two screams

I love this one. It's incredibly well-done, and easily the best slasher film that appeared after the success of Scream. Sarah Michelle Gellar was awesome here and her chase sequence is one of my favorites in terms of horror films.

It's less memorable than Scream, but definitely a great slasher flick.

Wasn't bad by any means, probably helped by being before the flood of them.

What shocked me at the time were the legs on this film -- this film had damn good legs. That said, it's an ok film. I didn't find it spectacular, but it wasn't mind numbingly awful either.
The film did have a cute cast; I thought Gellar pulled off the long hair well.
I saw this when I was in high school and liked it theatrically. Saw it later on DVD, and it came off less fun. However, there are much worse choices: Its sequel, for example.
Theatrical viewing: B
DVD viewing: C
Scream, Scream 2, IKWYDLS, and H20 were the four slasher films that gained my attention back then. That's not saying I liked them all, but they were probably the most looked forward to "horror" films at the time.

It's terrible compared to the Scream trilogy (yeah, trilogy), Halloween and other great movies of its kind, but decent (even if stupid) if you have nothing else to do. Enjoyable while it lasts, at least.

Quite decent and one of the better films of the whole post-Scream wave. I actually like it more than the both Scream sequels and Halloween H20. The cast is okay, though I have never liked, don't like and will never like Freddie Prinze Jr. I was happy about his prolonged absence in the second film.
