I Know What You Did

In the quiet, salt‑kissed town of Southport, North Carolina, a close‑knit circle of friends returns to the place where a single summer night changed everything. Julie James, fresh from college, reconnects with her former classmates—Ray Bronson, Helen Shivers, and Barry Cox—each carrying the weight of an unspoken pact that has subtly reshaped their lives. The town itself feels both nostalgic and oppressive, its breezy boardwalks and low‑lying marshes reflecting the characters’ attempts to keep old memories afloat while something far darker lingers beneath the surface.

When an anonymous, chilling note arrives, simply stating “I know what you did last summer,” the fragile equilibrium shatters. Julie’s curiosity, mixed with a lingering sense of guilt, pushes her to sift through old newspaper clippings and hidden conversations, while her friends drift further apart under the pressure of lingering secrets. The atmosphere tightens around them, a constant undercurrent of suspicion that turns everyday interactions into a delicate dance of trust and denial.

The film balances moody, claustrophobic moments with the broader, sun‑drenched backdrop of a seaside community that seems unaware of the storm gathering within its borders. As Julie digs deeper, the tone shifts between tense investigation and uneasy nostalgia, capturing the unsettling feeling that some past deeds refuse to stay buried. The story invites viewers to wonder what lies hidden in the corners of familiar places, and whether confronting the truth can ever truly bring peace to those still haunted by what they think they remember.
