‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ reboot series follows a new group of teenagers
The first installment in the I Know What You Did Last Summer franchise follows four high school friends. While on the road, they accidentally hit a pedestrian. The group formed a pact and agreed to never talk about the incident. One year later, the teenagers get a letter that reads, “I know what you did last summer.”
Soon after, they get stalked by a hook-wielding killer that’s out for vengeance. Although the film received mixed reviews, it became an instant cult classic. The horror film was a commercial success, grossing $125 million worldwide. Also, it remained the No. 1 spot in the U.S box office for three consecutive weeks.
