I Know What You Did Last Summer was a big hit when it came out in 1997, back when it was released during the ’90s Renaissance of teen-slasher movies. Adapted from the 1973 novel of the same name written by Lois Duncan-Arquette, the film follows four teens after they accidentally run over a person, dump his body in the sea, and then face the wrath of a homicidal fisherman who knows their dark secret. The movie starred Jennifer Love Hewitt, Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michel Gellar, and Ryan Phillipe, and at the box office, it was a huge hit.
Along with the new I Know What You Did Last Summer Steelbook 4K Edition, there’s also a standard Blu-ray edition of the flick available. It includes many of the same special features as the 4K Stellbook Edition but is only $25.
I Know What You Did Last Summer was followed up by a sequel in 1998, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, and a direct-to-DVD sequel in 2006 titled I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer. It was also mercilessly lampooned in the satirical horror-comedy, Scary Movie. There was also an eight-episode TV series adaptation of the novel in 2021. If you’d like to complete your collection, these are also available on Blu-ray.
Meanwhile, the upcoming film is scheduled to be released on July 18, and while has the same name as the original movie, it is actually a direct sequel to the first sequel, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer. That shouldn’t be confusing at all.
