Finally, the highly anticipated 90s horror flick, I Know What You Did Last Summer, is making its way to Netflix just in time for a chilling New Year's Day movie marathon. Released in 1997, this iconic film stars Jennifer Love Hewitt alongside a star-studded cast including Freddie Prinze Jr, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, Muse Watson, and Johnny Galecki. The slasher follows a group of high school students who accidentally kill a man and then try to cover it up, only to be terrorized by a hook-wielding serial killer on the one-year anniversary of the incident.
As the release of the sequel draws near, the original movie will be available for streaming on January 1 in the US, joining other hidden horror gems on Netflix. Although it may not have received the highest ratings from critics (46% on Rotten Tomatoes), fans have deemed it an underrated classic. In fact, many have praised it as their favorite 90s slasher film, with an amazing cast and a must-see for genre fans.
Some have even called it a guilty pleasure, filled with silly writing but also some standout slasher scenes. Others have noted its self-awareness and solid kills, making it a fine addition to the 90s whodunnit slasher genre. And for many, it remains a classic horror mystery with great gory kills, jump scares, and intense chase scenes. Despite its flaws, it continues to captivate audiences and keep them on the edge of their seats.
Unfortunately, the movie is not currently available on Netflix in the UK, but fans can rent it on Amazon Prime. However, there is hope that it may be added in the future. In the meantime, the sequel, titled I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, is set to premiere next year, bringing back the beloved characters played by Hewitt, Prinze Jr, and Gellar. Even Sarah Michelle Gellar, whose character met her demise in the first film, has hinted at her return to the set.
With its all-star 90s dream team and a perfect mix of horror and mystery, this movie has stood the test of time and continues to be a fan favorite. As one fan put it, "What is it about 90s horror? Maybe it's just nostalgia for me, but it seemed to be the best time for horror. I Know What You Did Last Summer is a pretty perfect slasher." And with the return of the original cast, along with some potential surprise appearances, the sequel is highly anticipated by fans all over the world.
So, get ready to relive the terror and intrigue of I Know What You Did Last Summer on Netflix this New Year's Day. And who knows, maybe the sequel will be added to your watchlist in the near future. Until then, keep an eye out for updates and get ready to scream once again.
