i know what you did last summer summary book

This party is flashbacked to throughout the first few episodes to show us new moments of vulnerability, betrayal, and connection between our main cast. The dynamics of the group are set up in one of the opening scenes at their high school graduation party. The friends have known one another since they were children so there are bound to be secrets amongst them. It follows a group with a lot of secrets that will ultimately be their undoing. The writer and producer Sara Goodman also worked on the series Gossip Girl which is why I feel comfortable saying that this show is the Gossip Girl of horror. While I liked Scream, I think IKWYDLS does a better job of adapting a story in a new and original way. When I heard about this show, I was wrapping up my viewing of the Scream television shows third season so I immediately wanted to seek this out. This is a vague summary because I do not want to give away a single piece of this incredible puzzle. The show doesn’t rely on an urban legend killer like the film did with “the hook”. A group of teenagers commit a vehicular manslaughter, all decide to keep the dark secret in the group, and the next summer… trouble comes calling. The show follows the same model as the movie, both of which are based on the novel by Lois Duncan.

But sometimes I want to watch a bunch of messy college students be dumb, horny, and just kind of awful to one another.

Watching I Know What You did Last Summer brought back a lot of the feelings of watching a slasher for the first time as I sat and watched the first four episodes.Ī lot of modern horror films are very cerebral in the mainstream and that’s totally great. I always felt like I came in at the tail end of the slasher genre after the entire rulebook was being handed out on screen. Growing up in the 90’s meant sneaking as many horror films as I could, starting with my first horror film Scream. There is no reason to why I haven’t but it may be the only 90’s horror film I haven’t watched. I come to this show with no nostalgia for the films whatsoever so I am nothing but a clean slate for a revenge tale. Reader, I will be up front with you and say that I have never seen the original I Know What You Did Last Summer.
