I really enjoyed this movie, the whole movie was really well paced, I did think the plot was little thin for to as long as this movie but it turn to about to really good. Libby and Kit are doing a number of prank phones call as the messing as they got house by them self, these girl start pranks Saying I saw what you did. The person they end up calling as done something really bad and he what to know he knew what he did. I love decent amount of build up to some scenes in the movie, were really effecting and there was very good tense moment in this movie, that have some great atmosphere in then, The acting in this movie was really good from the whole and I thought the ending was decent, not bad at all, i thougth it would have had a much better ending. I did like the fact the movie End of the line instead of The End, I don't think spoilers lol 7 out of 10 really good!

With minor flaws and plenty of innocence, the suspense "I Saw What You Did" goes with a simple premise that even today can make you completely hooked in it. It might not scare but it can give some good laughs, and even some small thrills. The actors charisma, specially the young female actresses and the simplicity of its story make of this film something purely enjoyable. The villain of this story is the telephone used by two teenage girls who, out of their relative boredom and enjoying the fact that her parents are not at home, use it to make pranks on many people, at first with some childish jokes or inventing stories, to later evolve into saying the terrifying phrase "I saw what you did and I know who you are". In one of those calls they perfectly hit someone who has reasons to hide his actions: a psychotic (John Ireland) who just happened to kill his wife. Of course the girls don't know that but their curiosity impels them to find the mysterious voice on the other side of the line. Terror awaits around the corner! Such a innocent and almost harmless movie that even a kid could watch this with no problem (except, maybe, for the obvious reference of "Psycho" with a similar murder in the shower). What concerns William Castle isn't much in creating a frightening horror film but it's more about showing the dangers behind child pranks, warning them about the risks they take when they use a telephone. If made today internet would be the villain and the prank wouldn't be so silly. Why you should watch this? Well, it's fun, completely uncompromising, the kids Andi Garrett, Sarah Lane and Sharyl Locke are quite adorable, and they know to make you interested in the story, responding for the several well humored moments of the movie, and also the great presence of Joan Crawford as the psycho's lover. It has its flaws - the barking dog, for example, in the climatic scenes - but it's certainly entertaining. 6/10

I Saw What You Did is an odd mix of different styles. It starts out lighthearted and slightly goofy with 2 girls making plans to meet up for the evening. It alternates between melodrama, horror and silliness not sure what direction to go or unsure of what it wants to be. Does it want to be super scary? There are scenes that are very creepy and that hold your attention. Or does it want to be a harmless, made-for-TV tepid drama? Much of it seems this way. Or is it a murder mystery? That never really comes to fruition. It can be exasperating for sure. Just when it get's going it loses steam and leaves one frustrated. Joan Crawford displays her controlling, overbearing self in this. It's odd to see her behave this way after all the stories about her. Here she is drinking and trying to control her man. I wish I could say very positive things about this but it's disappointing. It could have been much better.

Another camp Castle classic, "I Saw What You Did" presents an amazingly good premise that gets seriously botched by the usual amount of plot holes and implausibilities these kinds of teen horror flicks are rife with. No sense rehashing the plot; you already know it. But we already know villainous John Ireland is twisted. Why else would he murder his sexy wife (Joyce Meadows) in order to carry on with neighbor, Joan Crawford, who possesses all the feminine allure of a '63 Chevy Suburban? It's always fun to watch Joan in these later films, seen here wearing industrial-strength costume jewelry and a hairdo that would survive a nuclear disaster. She is quite good here, and provides the few real dramatic sparks in the film. Too bad her murder in the second reel is so anti-climactic.The one character we actually want to see murdered is head teen prankster Libby (Andi Garrett), if only because she won't die from her own stupidity!In one "good" scene, neighbor Joan catches a peeping Libby snooping next door at the house of her intended future hubby, Ireland. In a spiteful move, Big Bad Joan rips the vehicle registration card from Libby's car, and inadvertently provides Ireland with the name and address of his next victim. OOPS! Much of the film is oddly scored with peppy beach party-type music which doesn't lend an altogether convincing sense of suspense and dread. The final scene probably sums up the film's ineptitude best. Crying and shaking one moment after almost being strangled to death, Libby and her kid sister Tess then share giggles and laughter while the murderer lies slumped over dead in the car's back seat. Say, who's up for some cocoa!You certainly won't be wondering how many Academy Awards this was nominated for. It's a definite curio and good for lots of unintentional laughs.
