I Saw What You Did 1988 Full Movie

Okay, let’s talk about something… possibly controversial. I'm diving deep into the cinematic world. Prepare yourselves.

Specifically, I'm talking about I Saw What You Did (1988). Yes, that movie. The one everyone seems to...forget exists.

Teenage Pranks Gone Wrong?

Two teenage girls, Kim and Lisa, are bored. What do bored teenagers do? Prank call random people, of course!

They whisper, "I saw what you did!" over the phone. Harmless fun, right? Wrong!

The Twist Nobody Asked For

They accidentally prank call Adrian Forrester, played by the always-creepy Robert Carradine. He actually saw, and did, something. Murder, to be exact.

This is where things get... awkward. And where my unpopular opinion begins to simmer.

Look, I'm not saying I Saw What You Did is a masterpiece. Far from it.

But is it as terrible as everyone makes it out to be? I'm not so sure.

My Unpopular Opinion

Honestly, I think it's... kinda good? Or at least, entertainingly bad?

It's got that late '80s charm. The big hair, the questionable fashion choices... I'm here for it.

And Robert Carradine? He chews scenery like a champion. Pure gold.

Sure, the plot holes are big enough to drive a truck through. The dialogue? Sometimes painful. The pacing? Let's just say it takes its sweet time.

But that's part of the fun! It's so bad, it's good. A guilty pleasure of the highest order.

Think about it. You've got the suspense, even if it's predictable. You've got the cheesy special effects. You've got the "teens in peril" trope, which, let's be honest, we all secretly love.

Plus, it’s a remake of a much better William Castle film from 1965. That makes this even more interesting.

Nostalgia is a Powerful Drug

Maybe it's nostalgia talking. I first watched this movie on a grainy VHS tape, late at night, during a sleepover. The perfect setting for appreciating cinematic "art".

Or maybe, just maybe, it has a certain… unexplainable charm. The kind of charm that makes you forgive its flaws and embrace its absurdity.

I mean, who hasn't made a dumb phone call in their youth? Okay, maybe not to a murderer, but still.

The film touches on that primal fear. A simple prank gone horribly wrong. The consequence of our actions, amplified to eleven.

So, the next time you're scrolling through streaming services, looking for something truly "unique," give I Saw What You Did (1988) a shot.

Don’t expect Shakespeare. Expect glorious, cheesy, late-80s schlock. You might just be surprised.

The Verdict?

It's not winning any awards. But as far as enjoyable bad movies go, I Saw What You Did deserves a place in the pantheon.

Fight me in the comments. (Just kidding... mostly.)

But seriously, give it a watch. Tell me I'm wrong. Tell me I'm a crazy person. I can handle it.

Because, deep down, I think a small part of you might agree with me. This flick is a hidden gem.

Or, at the very least, a really shiny, really gaudy piece of costume jewelry that looks cool from a distance.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go make some prank calls. (Don't worry, I'm kidding... mostly.)
