I Know What You Did Last Summer Series Episode 1

A different kind of dead hooker in the trunk

After Scream slashed up the box office, every studio wanted in on the teen horror revival.

With hot young stars, a moderate body count, and a killer mystery, the film was a surprise hit in October 1997 and instantly became sleepover canon for a generation raised on Dawson’s Creek and dial-up. But nearly three decades later, does this thriller still have bite, or is it just riding a wave of ’90s hype? Donate to support Now Playing Podcast and hear this bonus review to find out!
