Why You HATE I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997)!

Why do so many horror fans hate I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997)? In this horror movie talk video essay, we dig into the teen slasher that tried to ride the wave of Scream but found itself drowning in backlash. From its now-iconic cast including Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, and Freddie Prinze Jr., to its formulaic story beats and the infamous "What are you waiting for?!" scream—this movie became both a 90s horror staple and a punchline. But does it deserve the hate?

Join us as we break down what I Know What You Did Last Summer got right, what it got so wrong, and why it still holds a weird place in horror history. Perfect for fans of horror movie reviews, video essays, and deep-dive movie discussion, especially if you're into 80s horror, 90s horror, or the Scream franchise. Whether you love it, hate it, or love to hate it, this video will reignite your opinion on the hook-handed killer and the slasher that just wouldn’t die.
