I Know What You Did Last Summer

(3.5 stars for the movie, 5 stars for the 4K UHD disc)"I Know What You Did Last Summer" was released October 10, 1997 grossing $125.3 million against a production budget of $17 million. It was directed by Jim Gillespie from a screenplay by Kevin Williamson which was based in the novel of the same name by Lois Duncan. It received mixed reviews from critics. This slasher flick was quickly rushed into production to capitalize on the huge surprise success of "Scream" from 1996 which was also written by Kevin Williamson. Whereas "Scream" had a ton of meta dialogue & humor, "I Know What You Did Last Summer" is much more of a straight ahead slasher flick in comparison. The cast acquit themselves nicely as a whole though they don't have as much to work with as the cast of "Scream" did overall. While it won't win any awards for originality, it is a fun 90's slasher that has aged nicely in my opinion. Fans of the lovely Jennifer Love Hewitt will also find a lot to like here as she is incredibly beautiful and sexy throughout.Sony rolls out the red carpet for the 25th anniversary of "I Know What You Did Last Summer" by releasing it on 4K UHD blu-ray featuring a new 4K scan of the original camera negative. This new 4K digital intermediate was then graded for both HDR10 and Dolby Vision. Simply put, the film looks amazing on this 4K UHD release leaving the ancient standard definition bluray from 2008 (which is also included in this set rather than a remastered standard blu-ray) in the dust. While both the HDR10 and Dolby Vision encodes look fantastic, should you have a 4K television that supports Dolby Vision, I recommend going that route as the Dolby Vision encode has slightly better color saturation, contrast levels and black levels than the HDR10 version. While the HDR10 version looks great, Dolby Vision takes that superb visual fidelity & kicks it up another notch overall. The bit rate stays in the upper 70's and low 80's for the most part on the 4K UHD release so the 1 hour 41 minute film has ample room to breathe with no compression artifacts to be seen. Fans of the film will be ecstatic at how it looks on this 4K UHD release. I would place a safe bet that this is the best the film has ever looked.The English audio tracks are presented in both 7.1 Dolby Atmos and 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio. I found the Dolby Atmos mix to sound full and punchy. Other audio options include Czech 2.0 Dolby Digital, French 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio, German 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio, Hungarian 2.0 Dolby Digital, Italian 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio, Portuguese 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio, Spanish 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio and Spanish 2.0 Dolby Digital. Subtitles are included for the hearing impaired in a ton of different languages including English.The new extras on the 4K UHD disc are as follows:- deleted scenes- "My Own Favorite Summer" - an interview with director Jim Gillespie- "He Knows What You Did" - an interview with Muse WatsonExtras on the included standard blu-ray from 2008 are as follows:- Filmmakers' commentary- Director's short film: "Joyride" with optional commentary- "Now I Know What You Did Last Summer" featurette- Music video: "Hush" performed by Kula Shamer- theatrical trailerSony delivers an incredible looking and sounding 4K UHD blu-ray release for "I Know What You Did Last Summer" for its 25th anniversary. Fans who are 4K UHD blu-ray capable should pick it up without hesitation. Keep in mind though that the included standard blu-ray is not remastered however being the same disc from 2008.Highly recommended!

Great looking in 4K! The extras on the 4K disc are ported from the 88 Films release except the Deleted Scenes which don’t appear to have been previously released (and unfortunately don’t amount to much). But the A/V quality for the feature film was outstanding. Not thrilled with the constant lack of the commentary track on the 4K disc releases. Who wants to watch the old BD to get the commentary? I’ll tell you who: NOBODY!!! Actually, no one who buys a 4K release needs a standard BD, so these studios and boutique companies really need to get with the picture and DROP THE STANDARD BD AND PUT ALL OF THE EXTRAS ON THE 100 GB TRIPLE-LAYERED DISCS INSTEAD FROM NOW ON!!! YOU HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM WITHOUT SACRIFICING A/V QUALITY ON THE FEATURE FILM!!!!

Shortly after the release of the movie SCREAM with its cast of hot young stars came this vehicle with the same screenwriter (Kevin Williamson) that also combined a cast of young up and coming attractive leads in a vibrant concoction of suspense and thrills.Whereas SCREAM starred "Party of Five" actress Neve Campbell, this production was led by another female alum from that television hit, the gorgeous Jennifer Love Hewitt. Hewitt is joined by Ryan Phillippe and Freddie Prinze Jr., two actors who (strangely enough) seem to have both been out-shined in their real lives by their two wives Reese Witherspoon and Sarah Michelle Gellar respectively.Rounding out the cast of the leads is none other than Gellar, who plays Phillippe's girlfriend Helen.The story, which is based on a novel by Lois Duncan, revolves around the events one night as a group of four friends prepare to say goodbye to their high school lives and go their separate ways. Driving along the coastal highway in the middle of the night they hit a man and freaking out because of his alcohol consumption, the owner of the car (who wasn't actually driving it) persuades his companions to dump the body.Fast forward a year and Julie (Hewitt) returns from her first year of college still haunted by the events of the previous summer. This isn't helped when she receives a note with the chilling message "I Know What You Did Last Summer."It seems someone is out for revenge and stalking the four former friends wearing a fisherman's slicker with an ice hook as his preferred weapon. It's up to the four to figure out who is behind the messages, and fast because he seems intent killing all of them.Sticking clearly to the slasher movie formula it's easy to dismiss this movie, but it's actually much more intelligent than a casual retread of familiar ground. There are some really chilling sequences here and moments of real white-knuckle tension, all laced with some truly witty dialogue.By today's standards the DVD is rather short on special features, but given that the DVD was released in 2000 this actually stacks up quite well with its contemporaries. What we do get is the theatrical trailer and a scene specific commentary by director Jim Gillespie, which is nice and light touching on a number of elements from casting and music to production design.This movie was successful enough to warrant a sequel and the two movies are available in one deluxe pack for less than purchasing the two individually But, unfortunately the follow-up was not of the same quality and even the presence of the appealing Hewitt cannot save the production. Still this movie is a worthwhile purchase for those who enjoyed SCREAM.Recommended.

Received this item used. 4k and blu ray repackaged in a blu ray (blue) case instead of the 4k black case. Discs were received loose. No marks on the disca however thr 4k dis freezes half way through the movie. Had to skip a couple.of chapters in order to watch the whole movie. Waste of money as the blu ray quality is no different that prior releases.

The 4K looks amazing! This film has a lot of nostalgic charm for me and is a great example of mainstream 90s horror. Lots of cool actors in small roles pop up and the story is very entertaining. Informative bonus features are included.

Excelente precio una joya de película que vale la. Pena tener en 4K un slipcover muy bonito y lo mejor con doblaje en español qué el. Bluray normal no trae

ゴーストのジェニファートバフィーのサラが共演してるんですよ！ふたりで手繋いでるシーンもあって萌えるはｗｗｗ

Esta edición en 4k realizada por Sony es prueba de la calidad que pueden mostrar diferentes estudios al remasterizar sus películas en 4k. Un clásico de los 90's al que le han hecho justicia y que brinda una nueva experiencia al verla en la pantalla. Es como si hubiera visto la película por primera vez en tiempos actuales. Gran edición que vale totalmente la pena y más si eres fan de la película. Olvídense por siempre del antiguo Blu-Ray.

Muy recomendable. Se ve increíble en 4k, muy colorida y contrastes en las secuencias oscuras. El bluray que incluye es la primera edición que sacó sony. Buena compra.

Muy buena película hablando de clásicos del terror pero cuidado, esta película no viene ni doblada ni subtitulada al español
