    • Trivia
      Kevin Williamson wrote this script before Scream (1996), but was unable to sell it. Following the big screen success of his next screenplay, "Scream," Columbia Pictures immediately bought I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997). This is the reason many critics and fans felt this was a huge step down from his more clever and innovative Scream scripts.
    • Goofs
      (at around 1h 30 mins) When Julie is in the room filled with ice, it jiggles when she moves it (it was made of gelatin).
    • Quotes

      Julie: Barry, stop!

      Barry: No! Wake up, Julie. He's behind all this! How many fucked up fisherman are out there?

      Ray: Look, he's after me too! I got a letter.

      Barry: Oh, you got a letter? I got run over! Helen gets her hair chopped off, Julie gets a body in her trunk, and you get a letter? That's balanced!

    • Alternate versions
      German theatrical version was slightly cut to avoid a "Not under 18" rating. The uncut version has been released on VHS/DVD/Blu-ray.

    6/10
    Undoubtedly one of the most memorable teen slasher movies.
    It's hard to believe 'I know what you did last summer' was made over two decades ago. This classic teenage slasher is still one of the most memorable movies in the genre.

    Although a slasher, the film has substance. The very idea of what these teenagers are going through, makes one wonder: what would I have done if I were in that situation? The event leading to the revenge killings can so easily happen to anyone of us. Its believable and quite honestly a daunting thought. What would you have done?

    What happens after the accident, off course is pure slasher material, but it still has substance. 'I know what you did last summer' is a creepy film with well crafted suspense. Naturally, there are a number of false scares and some credibility issues and coincidences, but in general this was thoroughly enjoyable. The performances were very good and the film itself has style and from the opening moments just felt memorable. The title alone is enough to make you want to watch it out of curiosity.
