‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ Star Freddie Prinze Jr. Teases a Return to Horror This Year

Published

Released in 1997, the post-Scream slasher I Know What You Did Last Summer is as nineties as horror movies get, the film’s cast loaded with the hot heartthrob actors of the time. We’re talking Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Ryan Phillippe, and Freddie Prinze Jr., with both Love Hewitt and Prinze Jr. reprising their roles in the subsequent 1998 sequel.

Freddie Prinze Jr. hasn’t starred in a feature horror film since I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, and the actor reveals today that it’s a return he’s been hoping for ever since.

When can we expect it? He may return to the genre as early as this year!

Prinze Jr. tweets this afternoon, “I’ve wanted to make another horror movie ever since IKWYDLS wrapped. Never found the right one but I think this year it’s gonna happen.”

In the wake of the Last Summer movies, Freddie Prinze Jr. did star in both Scooby-Doo and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, live action films that were written by James Gunn.

Alas, that’s the closest he’s come to horror in well over 20 years…

Bide the time for his return by revisiting I Know What You Did Last Summer with our very own Horror Queers, who slashed through the ’90s hit during the Summer of 2020 with special guest Ari Drew.

Dev Patel’s ‘Monkey Man’ Is Now Available to Watch at Home!

After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.

You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!

Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.

Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”

“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.

She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”

Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.

Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
