How To Watch I Know What You Did Last Summer

Okay, let's talk about I Know What You Did Last Summer. That delightfully cheesy, late 90s slasher flick. You wanna watch it, right? Good choice.

First Things First: Snacks

This is not a viewing experience to be taken lightly. You NEED snacks. Think popcorn. Maybe some Sour Patch Kids. Perhaps a whole pizza?

My unpopular opinion? Junior Mints are the PERFECT I Know What You Did Last Summer snack. Don't @ me.

Where are you watching this cinematic masterpiece? Basement? Ideal. Living room? Acceptable. Brightly lit doctor's waiting room? Absolutely not.

Bonus points if it's raining outside. Extra bonus points if there's a thunderstorm. The atmosphere MAKES the viewing experience.

Dim the lights, people! No one wants to watch Jennifer Love Hewitt dodging a hook in full daylight. That’s just wrong.

A single, flickering candle? A string of fairy lights? Perfect. Embrace the slightly-too-dramatic aesthetic.

Watching with friends? Awesome! Make sure they're the type who appreciate a good jump scare. And can handle some questionable acting.

Flying solo? Equally awesome! More snacks for you. Plus, no one to judge your gasps of terror.

Honestly, you don't need to pay that much attention. The plot is... well, it's there. It involves a hook. And some teenagers.

But really, you're watching for the suspense, the early Ryan Phillippe, and the sheer nostalgic joy of it all.

Okay, don't hate me. But Julie, Jennifer Love Hewitt's character, can be a little… much. All that screaming? Girl, get it together!

I said what I said. Feel free to disagree. But secretly, you know I'm right.

This is NOT high art. It’s not Bergman. It’s a fun, silly slasher movie. Lean into the ridiculousness.

Laugh at the over-the-top deaths. Roll your eyes at the questionable dialogue. Just have fun.

So, the movie's over. What now? Discuss your favorite kills. Debate the killer's motivations (or lack thereof).

Or, better yet, watch I Still Know What You Did Last Summer. Because why not? You're already in the mood!

Seriously, just stay away from the docks. Or any large body of water. Especially if you've accidentally run someone over.

And maybe, just maybe, don't write "I Know What You Did Last Summer" on any mirrors. Just a thought.

Happy watching! And remember, the hook man is always watching… probably.
