'I Know What You Did Last Summer' star Freddie Prinze Jr. says that Sarah Michelle Gellar has "one of the best death scenes in the history of horror films" 

While Freddie Prinze Jr. is reprising his role as Ray Bronson in Jennifer Kaytin Robinson's I Know What You Did Last Summer, he's still convinced that his wife, Sarah Michelle Gellar, has "one of the best death scenes in the history of horror films" thanks to their 1997 classic. 

"Her character, it's so great. People love that character so much," he expressed to PEOPLE, referring to Helen Shivers. As for why it's one of the best death scenes, the actor explained that it "showcased hope more effectively than any of its peers, more effectively than any horror film I can remember," commenting that he's "seen almost all of them."

He continued to say, "That final shot where she's running towards the parade, and she's about to make it, and this is a character that's been governed by cowardice the whole movie, and she finally gets brave. When the fisherman blocks her path, she's going to fight. And I know the whole audience was like, 'Yeah, f---, she's going to fight.' And her reward is death, and she doesn't get to be a final girl. And the crowd was like, 'Oh my God!' And it ripped their soul out, and I love that."
