Directed by Sylvain White ( Stomp the Yard, Slender Man) and boasting a far less slick and more grainy (read: cheaper) film aesthetic, it's loaded with teenage horror-movie cheese. The main thing to know about I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer is that it almost totally resets fans’ expectations in terms of the way these movies look and feel. How I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer shook up the franchise formula I’ll Always Know instead gets by on a sorta-fresh story take on the franchise’s larger mythology, populated by a cast of lesser-known actors and shot in a fuzzy film style that almost aggressively reminds you that this isn’t your parents’ (or at least your older siblings’) version of the original 1990s killer flicks. That’s the setup for I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer (streaming on Peacock here), the seldom-seen second sequel in the I Know What You Did Last Summer slasher franchise that flew way, way beneath the famous first film's radar when it debuted directly to video back in 2006.ĭon’t expect big returning names like Jennifer Love Hewitt, Freddie Prinze Jr., Mekhi Phifer, or Brandy in this low-fi, cheaply-made continuation of the IKWYDLS slasher series… though that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Even hundreds of miles from shore, urban legend-obsessed high school kids just can’t get away from the Fisherman - or at least his dark and deadly reputation for hooking the hapless bodies of coastal-lurking teens.
