Biography
Jim Gillespie is a Scottish film director born in 1960. He directed I Know What You Did Last Summer, released in 1997, a slasher that merged teen drama with horror mechanics and became central to 90s pop culture. The film's success positioned Gillespie as a key voice in the horror-thriller crossover space. He continued with D-Tox in 2002 and Venom in 2005, shifting toward action-thriller material while maintaining his signature sense of dread and visual precision. As a screenwriter and director working across multiple genres, Gillespie's practice reflects the craft of constructing narrative tension through framing, pacing, and character placement. His Capricorn nature—born January 1st—aligns with the discipline required to manage large-scale productions and coordinate visual storytelling across cast, crew, and editing. Gillespie's UK base and Scottish heritage positioned him within a generation of European directors who brought arthouse sensibilities to commercial horror and thriller markets during the late 1990s and early 2000s.
