I Know What You Did Last Summer
After an accident on a winding road, four teens make the fatal mistake of dumping their victim's body into the sea. Exactly one year later, the deadly secret resurfaces as they're stalked by a hook-handed figure.
The film functions as a classic teen slasher where fear, suspense, and the threat of a killer are central to the viewing experience. While it includes drama and mystery, removing horror would undermine its core identity; the horror mechanisms (stalking, danger, and survival tension) are fundamental rather than incidental.
Best for viewers looking for a scary and low-gore horror movie.
