Happy Sunday everyone! I've just finished watching I Know What You Did Last Summer, directed by Jim Gillespie and starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Ryan Phillippe, and Freddie Prinze Jr. (all of the main actors excluding Ryan Phillippe were in the Scooby Doo movie!!!) They play four high schoolers who, during their last summer together, run a man over then dump his body into the ocean. They swear never to speak of it again and go their separate ways. Julie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) goes to university but is haunted by the memory of having killed a man, Helen (Sarah Michelle Gellar) goes to New York to pursue a career in acting but comes back to work with her sister in a family run store, Ray (Freddie Prinze Jr.) follows in his father's footsteps and becomes a fisherman, and Barry (Ryan Phillippe) still lives with his rich parents as super douchebag of the nineties.
Everything changes when Julie receives a letter saying, you guessed it, "I know what you did last summer". So begins a hunt to find out who sent the letter.
Everything about this movie screams 90's. It's obviously directed at older teens, with the music and the language and the low cut shirts showcasing Jennifer Love Hewitt's assets. I personally liked this movie but honestly it is not a piece of cinematic brilliance. A lot of mistakes were made and it isn't very original, but I'll give it three point five out of five stars.
It's sort of a sleepover movie, you know? Like Asylum (also about four friends being stalked by a psycho murderer) or The Midnight Meat Train. It's pure slasher horror.
