I Know What You Did Last Summer (4K disc) 1997 horror movie that rode
"Scream's" coattails to success.  The movie stars a group of young 90s
stars who hit a man on the road and when they realize he's still alive
decide to finish the job and dump his corpse in the ocean.  A year later
someone mysterious comes back looking for revenge.
 
 
I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (4K disc) 1998 cash grab sequel
which finds the survivors from the first movie once again facing off
someone with a killer grudge, and the patience to wait a full year
before striking.

I saw the trailer  for the remake of this over the weekend when I went to
JURASSIC PARK and I had the same reaction I did when I watched the originals:
why doesn't someone just get a damn gun? Once I realized some lunatic is
picking off my friends one-by-one, you better believe I'm conceal-carrying
everywhere I go from that point on, even if I'm just walking down the hall to
the bathroom. This guy isn't Freddy or Jason, who are supernaturally empowered
and who can shrug off .357 rounds like they're nothing. This is just a guy in
a raincoat with a meathook. Two to the center mass and one to the head and the
problem goes away.
