About I Know What You Did Last Summer

In this 2025 horror thriller, five friends drift into danger after a night that ends in tragedy and decide to keep their actions secret rather than face the consequences. A year passes and the ghosts of that night begin to creep back, as a lurking force drops hints about what really happened that summer. The tension tightens as a sense of being watched takes hold, and the group must weigh who to trust while the fear of exposure grows. Old loyalties fray and the line between ally and threat blurs, all under the weight of a secret that refuses to stay buried. The camera lingers on faces strained by fear and the weight of silence tonight.

Directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, this 2025 take revisits Lois Duncan's classic concept based on the 1973 novel, with a modern twist. The film assembles ensemble cast led by Chase Sui Wonders and Madelyn Cline, plus names in supporting roles.
