Hello Readers,
Okay, I’ll put my hands up I’m four years late to the
party, but I finally watched I Know What You Did Last Summer on Amazon Prime
Video. As someone who loved the 1997 slasher classic, I was curious (and a bit sceptical)
about how the cult film would translate into a TV series. To my surprise, it’s
not bad in fact, it’s kind of addictive and I found myself binge watching.

Amazon’s reimagining of the 90s hit updates the story for
the social media generation. Gone are the mysterious letters; now, the teens
are haunted by texts, webcam footage, and viral videos. It’s a modern take that
blends Gossip Girl-style teen drama with a healthy dose of blood, secrets, and
suspense.
The series follows twin sisters Lennon and Allison,
played brilliantly by Madison Iseman, along with a group of friends whose
summer mistake spirals into a nightmare of guilt and murder. While the pacing
sometimes dips into melodrama, there’s enough mystery and psychological tension
to keep things engaging. Think less slasher flick and more dark murder-mystery
with teen chaos.
Sure, some dialogue feels cringey and the show leans
heavily into its teen drama roots, but the twists, turns, and red herrings kept
me guessing. I especially liked the creative kills and the eerie coastal
setting it gives the show an unsettling atmosphere that feels both nostalgic
and new.
Overall, I Know What You Did Last Summer (2021) is a
guilty pleasure: part horror, part soap opera, and surprisingly fun. If you
missed it like I did, it’s worth adding to your Amazon Prime Video watchlist.
Just don’t expect a fisherman with a hook this one’s got a few new tricks up
its sleeve.
