10 Best 90s Teen Horror Movies You Need To Watch
5. I Know What You Did Last Summer
Scream may get all of the credit for revitalising the teenage slasher movie (and rightly so), but it would be unfair to discount the influence of this, the 90s other horror film about a masked serial killer hunting down pretty young teenagers. It also happens to share a writer in Scream co-creator Kevin Williamson.
Less self-referential and not so tongue-in-cheek, I Know What You Did Last Summer tracks four friends, bound together by the man they accidentally killed one fateful summer night.
Stalked by a hook-handed killer, this is an effective, atmospheric take on the urban legend, with fun kill sequences and a well-paced story. Jennifer Love Hewitt and Scoobies Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. are of good value as the leads, and the film, and they have an interesting antagonist in the sinister fisherman.
Ultimately, the best thing about I Know What You Did Last Summer is its title, but it's worth a look all the same. If nothing else, the concept will have you hooked.
