Matt Brunson Creative Loafing Castle frequently employed gimmicks to promote his movies -- "Percepto" for The Tingler, "Emergo" for House on Haunted Hill, etc. -- but with this nifty thriller, the closest thing to a gimmick is the ingenious plot itself. Rated: 3/4 May 21, 2016 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Nifty little thriller. Rated: B+ Jul 31, 2012 Full Review Pablo Villaça Cinema em Cena Envelhecendo terrivelmente mal, torna-se risvel em funo da trilha sonora nada apropriada, das pssimas atuaes das protagonistas e do roteiro que desperdia a boa premissa.

Steve D Passable thrills but nothing special. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/25/23 Full Review Audience Member When we were all teenagers at one point, we used to prank call random people just for laughs. In the film I Saw What You Did, it shows the worst case scenario of prank calling strangers and the consequences one might face. While William Castle's film did give me some thrills, I was not a fan of this film. One scene had the film's antagonist attack a woman in a shower that one could argue that this film ripped off elements from the iconic Alfred Hitchcock film Psycho. Speaking of the shower scene, the editing by Edwin H. Bryant was shoddy because in some parts, the woman's hair was wet then dry then wet again. The sound at times were loud and annoying. The screenplay by William P. McGivern was also pretty bad because he had every single main character in the film making pathetic, idiotic, and questionable decision throughout the film. But what really struck me the most for I Saw What You Did was the music. Simply because in the end of the movie that is supposed a thriller, played upbeat funky music that doesn't fit with the film's atmosphere at all. I Saw What You Did had potential to be a decent movie but instead it turned out to be ghastly. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member "I Saw What You Did" has a premise that could have made for a good movie. The final result is not terrible, but I think it was rather dull in parts and other parts were rather implausible. The cast is not too bad. The actors do a decent job. The late Joan Crawford is, to nobody's surprise, the best thing about the movie despite having a very short part. The story of a prank call gone wrong could have worked better. While I watching I kept asking how Steve Marak (Played by the late John Ireland.) thought the prank call was somebody saying they witnessed him murder his wife considering where the crime took place. When he learned who made the call and learned where they live, he should have realized that the call was just a prank. Also, once he came to realize that when he confronted Libby (Played by Andi Garrett), why didn't he just leave. There was no reason why he would stay. Also he did not hear Kit's (Played by Sara Lane) side of the call so he could not have known what they were talking about. There are some good things to say however, the climax is well done and plausible. A fitting end to the events of the film. Overall, "I Saw What You Did" is not a terrible movie. I would say it's good. Still, it could have been better. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member I thought it was a good movie. A lot of the reviews said bad acting. I didn't think so. I will say I thought the music they used at the beginning and the end didn't make any sense. It definitely didn't match the theme of the movie. So in that sense I will agree with the other reviewers. Other than that I would watch it again. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member I only seen this movie once, I think that I would watch this movie again. I believe that I would reccomend this movie to others. I went with 3 stars for this movie, I have to admit that I was surprised to see that this movie got such a low rating. I have never heard about or seen this movie before now. I thought that this was a pretty decent movie. Idk why it got such a low score oh well. A early old fashioned, vintage, retro explaintion/warning about the dangers that happen/when/if you prank call people. You never really know what is going on on the other end of the phone, and what that person did/does or how they live etc... This movie did remind me of a Twilight Zone episode, or a episode of the Alfred Hichcock Hour t.v. show. Alright movie at least worth one watch at least for the cool vintage/vibes 3 stars. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Lesley E Awful! Just awful! Not even the legendary Miss Joan Crawford could save this wreck of a film. The acting was terrible, the storyline was bordering on ridiculous, and the score was out of place. This is definitely a classic that should not be seen. A piece of rubbish that belongs deep in an old Hollywood archive. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/03/19 Full Review Read all reviews
