A year after covering up a fatal accident, four friends—played by Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, and Freddie Prinze Jr.—are stalked by a hook-wielded killer. The film helped fuel the teen-horror revival and spawned sequels and a TV reimagining. It’s currently available to stream on Netflix in select regions and is well documented across official and reference sources.
