Time to get hooked on a classics 90s slasher all over again as Sony celebrates the 25th anniversary of the first Scream descendant I Know What You Did Last Summer with its debut on 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray on September 27th. This release will rock a brand new transfer and Dolby Atmos track, carry over previous DVD featurettes and boast some new deleted scenes for this release. The release is probably not too big a surprise, as for the last couple years it has appeared on Sony’s survey of “What would you like to see us do on 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray?” that they send out annually. Nonetheless, it didn’t make the cut for the Columbia Classics Volume 3 release, but a standalone disc here will do very nicely.
