If you’re a staunch believer that the original is always better than the modern day remake, it might be time to check out this classic 90s horror film before the new version hits cinemas this year.
Time and time again, production studios aim to capitalise on the success of an earlier film by updating its storyline for today’s audiences.
But all too often, fans are let down as the new film struggles to find its own voice.
Ahead of this year’s release of I Know What You Did Last Summer, starring Madelyn Cline and The Studio star Chase Sui Wonders, you can decide for yourself after Tubi added the original slasher flick to its completely free streaming service.
As part of a new release of titles coming to Tubi in the UK this June, Jim Gillespie’s iconic horror film is available to watch.
Released in 1997, it follows four teenage friends who are stalked by a hook-wielding killer after they accidentally ran over a man and dumped his body to conceal their secret.
Starring Scooby-Doo and Buffy the Vampire Slayer star, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and her husband Freddie Prinze Jr., the film has become a beloved staple of the horror genre.
In 2021, Amazon Prime Video created a TV series based on the original film which starred Madison Iseman.
But, in 2022 director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson and screenwriter Leah McKendrick successfully pitched an idea for a new installment in the franchise to Sony Pictures.
