I Know What You Did Last Summer 25th Anniversary Sets 4K Blu-ray Release

Since Ghostface returned earlier this year in the latestScreamit has felt like 90s slashers have gotten an increase in popularity. One of the many films which was heavily influenced by the originalScreamwas 1997sI Know What You Did Last Summer. The film based on the 1973 book of the same name byLois Duncanwas applauded for many things including its star-studded cast, seaside town setting, great setup, and frankly cool title. Now, just in time for the film’s 25th anniversary, Sony Pictures has announced thatI Know What You Did Last Summeris finally coming to 4K Blu-ray on June 04, 2025.

I Know What You Did Last Summerbecame a major hit at the box office when it was initially released. It made over $125 million worldwide on only a $17 million budget which would cause the film to get two less than stellar sequels, 1998sI Still Know What You Did Last Summerand 2006sI’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer. The iconic slasher starredJennifer Love Hewitt,Sarah Michelle Gellar,Freddie Prince Jr., andJohnny Galeckiall before they would hit major stardom. Hewitt and Prince would go on to reprise their roles inI Still Know What You Did Last Summer.

Hewitt later landed the lead role in the hit seriesThe Ghost Whisperer. In addition to that, both Gellar and Prince would go on to star in the criminally underratedScooby-Doolive-action duology for Warner Brothers as Fred and Daphne while Gellar also had a small role inWes Craven’sScream 2. However, that’s not the onlyScreamconnection this film has asKevin Williamsonwrote the screenplay for both films. Though Williamson pennedI Know What You Did Last SummerbeforeScream, his success with the latter slasher helped get the first film made.

Coming more than two decades after the original’s release, the franchise recently had a resurgence with an Amazon Prime series last year. That adaptation started out strong, but quickly jumped off the deep end. This eventually led to theseries getting canceledafter just one season earlier this year.

This 4K Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and Digital combo pack comes with a 4K transfer from the original camera negative and some new special features that are sure to get any genre fan excited. There will be six new deleted scenes and a never-before-seen alternate ending in this edition. The release also comes with older special features which include ‘My Own Summer: An Interview with DirectorJim Gillespie’, ‘He Knows What You Did: An Interview withMuse Watson’, the music video “Hush” performed byKula Shaker, and a filmmaker’s commentary. Lastly, the 4K comes with this sleek-looking red-accented cover featuring all the characters including the infamous fisherman killer with their hook at the ready.

I Know What You Did Last Summerwas a clear product of the “Screamera” of horror. However, since its release in 1997, the film has gained a rabid cult following. The slasher has its fair share of rough edges, but overall, this is a fun throwback murder mystery revenge tale that they just don’t make anymore. Lines like “what are you waiting for” are engraved in the minds of most horror fans and the fisherman killer is one of

the more underrated slasher villains. The film also does a good job of keeping you on your toes making you never really sure who the “final girl” or killer will end up being.
