I Know What You Did Last Summer. On Graduation Night, four schoolfriends accidentally hit a man in the middle of the road with their car. Fearful that they will be blamed they dispose of the body and try to get on with their lives... but a year later someone has other ideas. Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Freddie Prinze Jnr and Ryan Phillippe star in this late 90s post-Scream teen slasher flick that I haven't seen for ages. I've never been a massive fan of this one, and I think it's because it's very tonally inconsistent, starting out as an essentially serious drama/thriller that wants to play with adult themes of guilt and responsibility, only to then turn into a silly slasher flick in the second half (this is what happens when you lift the premise from a serious book and then try to rip off Scream!), with a very dumb ending to boot. It's okay, the actors are good, and it does look superb on Blu ray (glad I got it) but gimme Urban Legend any day to be honest.
