''I Know What You Did Last Summer'' (1997) is a horror/slasher film very loosely based on [[Literature/IKnowWhatYouDidLastSummer the novel of the same name]] by Creator/LoisDuncan, starring Creator/FreddiePrinzeJr, Creator/SarahMichelleGellar, Creator/JenniferLoveHewitt, and Creator/RyanPhillippe. The screenplay was written by Creator/KevinWilliamson, who also wrote ''Film/{{Scream 1996}}'', ''Film/TheFaculty'', ''Film/{{Cursed 2005}}'', and ''Series/DawsonsCreek''.
The tale starts with a party and the consumption of too much alcohol, as these stories tend to do, during a beach party after Helen Shivers (Gellar) wins the Croaker County Beauty Pageant. On the way home, however, a drunken swerve of the friends' car leads to the death of a fisherman on the side of the road. The four decide to tell no one, and to forget the whole thing, throwing the body into the ocean. But somebody saw, and the next summer, they start to take vengeance, warning the four with an ominous message: ''[[TitleDrop I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER]]''. Before long, people start dying, killed by a rain-slicker-clad figure wielding a hook...
