The original movie follows four friends, who, after a night of revelry, accidentally run over a man and dump his body to conceal their crime. They then go on to continue to live their lives as normal as it used to be.

They are reunited a year later when they find themselves haunted by an axe-wielding maniac. The original film draws inspiration from the urban legend known as “the Hook,” as well as preceding slasher films, like 1980’s ‘Prom Night’ and 1982’s ‘The House on Sorority Row.’

Even though it was only moderately received by critics at the time, it has continued to have a significant impact on pop culture, with the film being parodied in 2000’s ‘Scary Movie.’

Its success led to the making of the 1998 sequel, ‘I Still Know What You Did Last Summer,’ in which Hewitt, Prinze Jr., and Watson reprised their roles. Another sequel, ‘I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer,’ was released in 2006, but since it featured an entirely new cast and plot, it’s considered a stand-alone.
