Trivia
Kevin Williamson wrote this script before his screenplay for Scream (1996), but was unable to sell it. Following the big screen success of "Scream," Columbia Pictures immediately bought Souviens-toi... l'été dernier (1997) and produced it to capitalize on the newfound horror success. Because "I Know" is mostly a straight-up, modern update of the old slasher horror movie rather than a deconstruction of the genre, many critics and fans felt this was a huge step down from Williamson's more clever and innovative Scream scripts.

Goofs
(at around 1h 30 mins) When Julie is in the room filled with ice, it jiggles when she moves it (it was made of gelatin).

Quotes
Julie: Barry, stop!
Barry: No! Wake up, Julie. He's behind all this! How many fucked up fisherman are out there?
Ray: Look, he's after me too! I got a letter.
Barry: Oh, you got a letter? I got run over! Helen gets her hair chopped off, Julie gets a body in her trunk, and you get a letter? That's balanced!

Alternate versions
German theatrical version was slightly cut to avoid a "Not under 18" rating. The uncut version has been released on VHS/DVD/Blu-ray.

Happy Birthday Sarah Michelle

I haven't seen a whole lot of teen slasher movies. In fact this may be the only one I have seen, and it is a fitting tribute of the genre for our birthday girl, Sarah Michelle Geller.

Writer Kevin Williamson follows up Scream with a serious example of just how effective these movies can be if they're well-written, directed and acted.

Sarah Michelle Geller (Buffy, TMNT) and Jenniver Love Hewitt (Ghost Whisperer) fit perfectly together and are supported by Ryan Phillippe (Crash, Breach, Flags of Our Fathers) and Freddie Prinze Jr. Why does that sentence sound naughty? If I had to watch one film of this type, I'm glad this was it.
