I Know What You Did Last Summer 4K Blu-ray Movie Review

Reviewed by Kenneth Brown June 25, 2025

In preparation for the upcoming theatrical release of the new 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' (due in theaters July 18th), Sony is releasing the original 1997 horror film of the same name in striking SteelBook packaging. It boasts the same top tier video and audio as the standard 4K release, along with both discs of supplemental material.

Four friends live in a sleepy North Carolina fishing town, leading seemingly perfect lives. Juile (Jennifer Love Hewitt), her steady, level-headed boyfriend Ray (Freddie Prinze, Jr.), her beauty pageant queen friend Helen (Sarah Michelle Gellar), and Helen's potty-mouthed boyfriend Barry (Ryan Phillippe) hit something one night with Barry's BMW on a secluded mountainside road. Rather than a dog or a deer, it turns out that they've struck a man. Panicked, the four make a pact to throw his body into the Atlantic and never speak of it again. A year passes, and the friends find themselves separated and failing to live out their dreams. Julie receives a note that says, "I know what you did last summer," a note which reunites the friends and drives them to madness as they attempt to discover the identity of who they killed and avoid the deadly hook as a mysterious fisherman hunts them down one-by-one.

Adding, "whether you enjoy the decent atmosphere of the film, the nifty and aggressive soundtrack, or just want to see some of your favorite teen idols get gutted by a bailing hook, there is something here for most everyone."

I Know What You Did Last Summer 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras 

Sony continues its collection of good-looking SteelBooks with I Know What You Did Last Summer. The outer case front cover features the four mainline cast members (with a splash of bloody red), while the back cover boasts everyone's favorite hook-wielding fisherman. Inside, beneath the disc tray, is art of the note Jennifer Love Hewitt finds, with a 4K disc (and new extras) and a copy of the original 2008 Blu-ray (with all prior extras). For added fun, pop in the standard BD just for the now-quaint, throwback how-to videos explaining all the "brand new" features you can access with the ahem... "latest" BD technology.

I Know What You Did Last Summer 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation 

Your love of SteelBooks will determine if you need this latest release of I Know What You Did Last Summer. It's the same as the 2022 4K release, down to the inclusion of the wildly dated standard Blu-ray disc. The 4K disc certainly makes it worth your while, and the SteelBook itself is a striking one, with a simple design and attractive photography/graphic design.
