I Know What You Did Last Summer | 1997 | R | - 3.8.7

A group of friends hide a terrible secret and pay the consequences.

SEX/NUDITY 3 - Cleavage revealing outfits. Kissing (including make-out scenes where it's implied that the couple had sex, but nothing is shown). Sexual innuendo.

VIOLENCE/GORE 8 - A man who's been hit by a car has a very bloody face. A man is dumped in the ocean while still alive. A man has a few bloody cuts on his head after being hit by a car. A corpse is shown in a trunk with crabs crawling around. A person is stabbed many times with a hook (we don't see the stabbing itself). Blood drips from a railing. Blood squirts out from a man's chin after he's been gouged with a hook; he's pulled across a table and killed. Blood gushes from a man's mouth after he's been stabbed by a hook. A man's hand is ripped off and later we see the severed, partially bloody appendage. Blood spurts onto a glass door and a body is dragged by a hook. Several corpses are shown (no blood). A fistfight with many punches and attempted stabbings with a hook. Chases, reckless driving and scuffles.

LANGUAGE 7 - About 33 F-words, many scatological references, some anatomical references, and some mild obscenities.

DISCUSSION TOPICS - Manslaughter, reckless driving, murder, revenge, secrets.

MESSAGE - You should take responsibility for your actions.

CAVEATS

Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.

We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.

Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
