If there’s one thing that’s for certain when it comes to slasher movies, it’s that nostalgia and a good scare make for a pretty thrilling combo.

The cult ’90s franchise I Know What You Did Last Summer has been revived for a new generation with the 2025 sequel of the very same name out in cinemas this month.

Starring a new cohort of hopeful scream queens (and kings) in Madelyn Cline, Chase Sui Wonders, Tyriq Withers, Jonah Hauer-King and Sarah Pidgeon, the fresh instalment follows a group of friends being stalked by a masked killer in the seaside town of Southport after they vow to keep silent about a fatal car accident they caused.

If the new movie has left you craving more of the bloody, screaming delights of the slasher franchise, here are the movies you should be watching next…

I Know What You Did Last Summer

We’re talking about the original, of course. Fans of the 1997 film will know that this cult classic pretty much mirrors the new movie, revolving around a group of friends who are stalked by a hook-wielding killer after covering up a car accident.

With a cast that includes ’90s staples like Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr., the vibes are absolutely on point throughout. Plus, it features the totally iconic “what are you waiting for?” line.

It was followed by two sequels called I Still Know What You Did Last Summer and I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer.

Scream

Widely credited as one of the best slasher films of all time – also kicking off a whole franchise of its own – the Wes Craven classic follows a group of high school students who become the target of a serial killer known as Ghostface.

It stars Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Rose McGowan and Drew Barrymore. If you haven’t watched them in the original, you’ve most likely seen the parodies in Scary Movie.

It’s creepy, strangely cosy, and of course, very bloody. Perfect viewing for movie night!
