I Know What You Did Last Summer
A carefree college student returns home to find her friends haunted by a deadly secret they buried after a night of reckless fun, and when an anonymous threat forces them to confront the truth, their lives—and freedom—hang in the balance.
“If you're going to bury the truth, make sure it stays buried.”
Synopsis
After a fatal accident on a winding road, four teenagers make the mistake of disposing of the victim's body in the sea. Exactly one year later, their deadly secret resurfaces when they are pursued by a figure with a hook for a hand.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 38
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 7.4× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
