Rated 5 out of 5! Castle (kinda) Does It Again! Having seen most of William Castle’’s films, the only few problems i had with "I Saw What You Did" mainly go to a few technicals. By 1965, you would think that Castle would have filmed this in color. That was one problem. Another, the soundtrack. I can understand that the beginning of some horror films can be rather up-beat with the premise of setting the audience up for a twist that ultimately takes us for a ride. The soundtrack for this film doesn’’t let up, and actually sounds like music for a "Beach Party" film. With that aside, everyone knows that Castle did his best with what he knew. The acting is at times corny, but it was intended that way for the sake of getting the best reaction from the audience when some scenes were ’’off the cuff’’. The shower scene at the beginning is where i have the most praise. Castle’’s ability to give us a small bloodbath (remember "Homicidal"?) MADE me buy the dvd for that one scene. Other than that, Joan Crawford’’s role was good, and Castle’’s re-use of some of the actor’’s from his previous films was ok. The extra’’s were a nice bonus, tho a doccumentary with some of the actor’’s would have been interesting to watch. Rated 1 out of 5 BORING! I couldn’’t find this movie for rent so I took a chance and bought it, and boy do I hate wasting money. The whole movie was about Libby chasing her stupid younger sister around: "Tess, come here!", "Tess, where are you?", "TEESSSS!", "Tess, do this!". I HATE TESS! Stupid little girl running off into the night, LET HER! The background music was very distracting too. Throw a swear word in the dialogue and make it believable! Completely bad. Rated 5 out of 5! Sucessfull Thriller I saw this movie one time late night when I was a small child and for the next 30 odd years to follow I have remembered this film and the main line in my head. That is a sucessfull film, I have seen movies 2 weeks ago that I can’’t remember the name of or the plot. A real scary film with out the need for todays blood fest of crash up chases. Thrilled to add it to my collection. If you enjoy a classic scare, this is a must have.
