| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about I Know What You Did Last Summer |
|---|
Last Summer a group of teens accidently hit a man with their car and hid the body. One year later a mysterious stalker knows what they did and will make them pay.
A suprisingly suspensful and scary thriller written by Scream scribe Kevin Williamson. Full of atmosphere and style and with a young all star cast, I know what you did last summer is a A+ Thriller in what is commonly a D- genre. Wonderful!
--Ken Carper, Resident Scholar
