Our take
I Know What You Did Last Summer reboots the hook-handed slasher about friends hiding a deadly accident. Rated R for bloody horror violence, language throughout, some sexual content, and brief drug use. Expect jump scares, stabbings, teen drinking, and revenge-fueled kills
Story (may spoil tone)
When five friends inadvertently cause a deadly car accident, they cover up their involvement and make a pact to keep it a secret rather than face the consequences. A year later, their past comes back to haunt them and they're forced to confront a horrifying truth: someone knows what they did last summer…and is hell-bent on revenge.

Talk after watching
- A cover-up haunts the group one year later. Why do secrets make people vulnerable?
- The killer targets guilt, not random victims. How does accountability differ from revenge?
- Friendship frays under fear. Who would you trust in a crisis?
