Reality is never as clear as it seems, and even the people closest to you and whom you blindly trust may turn out to be someone you don’t expect. With this common thread it was created I know what you did, horror thriller series that will land on Amazon Prime Video starting from 15 October. Based on the 1973 novel by Lois Duncan, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and of which a film has already been transposed in 1997, the story revolves around a group of teenage boys from Wai Huna, a colorful city in the archipelago of the Hawaiian Islands. The series consists of 8 episodes, of which we were able to see the first 4 in preview, so let’s proceed with our review.
An interesting teen horror
The series makes clear its intentions from the very first minutes, and makes it clear that it will not be a carefree and cheerful series, or that it is it will take place on two different temporal levels: that here I’m where the protagonists are living their lives, and that past, to be precise a year earlier, revised through the use of flashbacks and memories, which however are so frequent and long as to give the viewer the idea of being following two different stories at the same time. And it is thanks to this narrative expedient that the authors have managed to create interest in the events narrated, giving those who are watching the series the certainty of what they are seeing, to then destroy it later with the actual reality of the facts.
The protagonists of the story are 6: Margot (Brianne Tju), a girl with a very rich family and a large following on online social networks – in which she tries to increase her popularity – Riley (Ashley Moore), girl from the group that provides drugs for others, Dylan (Ezekiel Goodman), awkward, sensitive and kindhearted boy, Jhonny (Sebastian Amoruso), another boy in the group, but a little more resolute and determined than his friend, and the twins Lennon and Alison (Madison Iseman), on which the story focuses a little more, and which will be at the center of all the events that will happen in the course of the episodes.
Time doesn’t erase everything at all
The triggering event in I know what you did, takes place a year before the present, during a party organized by Margot to celebrate everyone’s graduation. Unfortunately, Alison is the only one who has not passed the exams, but she is still convinced by her father and sister to go and have some fun with the others. Here the characters of all the characters, and of the difficult relationship between the two sisters: in fact, if Alison is very introverted and tending towards asociality, Lennon is incredibly outgoing and very self-confident with anyone she meets. This difference between the two it will result in a great quarrel, which will then lead all 6 boys into an absurd and decidedly bigger situation than them.
After a year of the incident, it seems that everyone has managed to get on with their lives, leaving that ominous day behind and trying to forget it. Unfortunately for them, however, this is not the case, and not only is everything that happened still alive in their mind, but it also seems that someone has seen them that night, and now he’s trying to drive them crazy by stalking them, showing them particular images and objects that remember that moment. But their misadventures do not end there, in fact this is only the beginning, their lives will be totally upset, and they will find themselves in one surreal situation after another, coming to understand that they can’t even trust each other anymore.
Nobody is really what they seem
Craig Macneill, the director of I know what you did, try to bare the dark side of each character. In fact, we are immediately shown how even between the two twins there is not only some familiar quarrel to make them fight, but of the real deep and sedimented rancor, as in the other boys of the series. Although in fact, at least for the first few minutes we see them on the scene, they are presented to us as loyal to each other and united, a few episodes will be enough to demonstrate how doubt lurks between them, or how it takes them little to decide to leave someone behind and abandon them to themselves, as long as there is a personal advantage.
Unfortunately, despite a good premise – and some excellent narrative twists – we come to the first significant flaw in this review by I know what you did: the behavior of young people and their dialogues. In fact, it is often possible to notice the overly stereotyped attitudes of the protagonists towards the “modern guy who only thinks about partying, taking drugs, drinking, and is obsessed with his smartphone”. Although small funds of truth may conceal as regards today’s society, and although this is obviously a work of fiction, certain dialogues and behaviors they lose a lot of grip and immersion that the rest of the intrigues and the plot had managed to create.
The final conclusions of the review of I Know What You Did
The series looks like a ‘interesting teen mystery, which manages to create a lot of mystery around the events of the poor protagonists, seasoning everything with a pinch of horror that puts adrenaline. It suffers a little from excessive stereotypes and somewhat fantastic situations – despite the series points to realism – but all in all it is pleasant, especially for a younger audience, or who might want to get closer to the kind of fear starting with something a little softer. If, on the other hand, you are interested in a more comedy series, but always to be able to see on Prime Video, we recommend you read our review on the first 4 episodes of Reservation Dogs, the new series of Taika Waititi.
