The premise

After an accident on a winding road, four teens make the fatal mistake of dumping their victim's body into the sea. Exactly one year later, the deadly secret resurfaces as they're stalked by a hook-handed figure.

Horror Vault's take

Four teens share a secret that should have stayed buried — but when a mysterious letter arrives exactly one year after a tragic coastal accident, someone makes it very clear they know the truth. A hook-wielding figure begins closing in, and the group's fragile bonds quickly unravel under pressure. This late-90s slasher blends sun-drenched seaside dread with escalating paranoia, delivering one of the decade's most iconic horror setups.
