04. I Know What You Did Last Summer

Horror fanatic Sean selects his VHS copy of 1997's I Know What You
Did Last Summer, the Kevin Williamson slasher adaptation of Lois
Duncan's bloodless 1973 suspense novel, starring Jennifer Love
Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, and Freddie Prinze
Jr. Talking points: Kevin Williamson. Scream. The soundtrack. Kula
Shaker. Rental copy. Lois Duncan. Modernized text. Book vs. movie.
Tame slasher. A cast of pretty people. Freddie Prinze Jr. is
terrible. Low bodycount. Sweater sets. The 90's cast photo. The
not-so-violent kills. The unmasking of the killer. Trying to
explain the plot of this movie. Supernatural slasher, revenge tale,
or something in the middle? The vapid survivors. Jump scare finale.
Creepy backwoods Anne Heche. Lapses in logic and horror movie
tropes. The filmmakers hate Lois Duncan too. The inevitable remake.
Buy it/rent it/tape over it. If you were to remake this movie, who
would you cast? Next time, our first guest episode.
