7:30 ~ I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER
In 1997 slashers were hotter than ever thanks to Scream injecting new life into a dormant genre, leading studios to greenlight as many titles with masked killers, beautiful young actors, and sweet soundtrack singles as they could muster. With Scream writer Kevin Williamson retooling the plot of Lois Duncan’s 1973 suspense novel into a slasher, I Know What You Did Last Summer follows a group of teenagers (including Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. at the height of their powers) who accidentally hit a man with their car and cover it up. A year later, a seemingly faceless person in a raincoat armed with a hook starts picking them off one by one . With a new entry on the way, it’s the best possible time to remind yourself of what these irresponsible kids did almost 30 Summers ago in this perfect distillation of late-90s studio horror.
