I watched it a few months back, surely wrote the review and send it to IMDb. But I don't know what lies beneath, my review isn't on line !!! So I must write it again but it's more difficult this time as the movie isn't fresh anymore. I remember that Michelle was great as a wife becoming crazy; that the country location was superb, all the more than the couple was living in a sumptuous mansion... But I don't remember to have been scared but rather I felt cheated and annoyed: watching my childhood hero (Han Solo, Indy) becoming a cheater, a killer and a dangerous husband was not all fun: Harrison as a bad guy wasn't the ideal casting: maybe for him, it was a change and interesting to do but i don't think we can change our human nature and the only thing really unnatural in this movie was his job!

What lies beneath really does make the best out of the material it's given. Michelle Pfeiffer is just awesome in her starring role! I mean she just fits the role so well and really rocks it! And Harrison Ford is great here, he is determined, dramatic, and even scary at times. The suspense and tense energy that runs rampant thought what lies beneath is incredible, it's so creepy and unwatchable at times. Just the music itself will creep underneath your skin. Robert Zemeckis has done it again, he successfully made an entertaining, well acted and well written creepy thriller. Also Pfeiffer and Ford do have good on screen chemistry together, they just work and click during a scene, especially an intimate one. The visuals are great here, and the film is directed and shot very well, great to look at. The script is well written with intelligent dialogue between the main characters. The ending is very satisfying, I liked it, it is creepy, smart, and bone chilling. It's not exactly a big twist, but just a little one. You may see it coming, then again you may not, depends on the viewer. I give what lies beneath an 8/10.

Robert Zemeckis's What Lies Beneath, although a bit melodramatic at times, is a nicely freaky bit of domestic terror, in the vein of Hitchcock. It's a pseudo supernatural thriller that I saw at a very young age, so I have a spooky nostalgia for it, as it scared me in that way that only kids can get, staying with you even as you get older and making whatever film it was that made you feel that way resonate unconditionally for you. Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer play an affluent married couple who are beset by strange paranormal phenomena that may or may not be linked to one of their pasts. Ford is a busy medical professional, away for days at a time working, Pfeiffer the stay at home wife, plagued by creepy voices, noises and bumps in the night when alone in their large mansion, in some nice eerie sequences. Clues lead her to the odd job couple living next door (James Remar and Miranda Otto) but soon it becomes clear the answers won't be as easy or obvious as that, and the cold, clinical nastiness of a thriller that knows what it's doing and won't compromise sets in, freezing us in our seats for a nice jarring third act of unexpected resolution that lets the actors go to some places they haven't ventured in their careers. Ford is calm, cool and barely connected, Pfeiffer is detached and perplexed, and there's fun work from Wendy Crewson, Joe Morton and a ghostly Amber Valetta as well. The dog making a nasty discovery in the backyard pond is a nice moment for me, one I had dreams about for a while after seeing this at probably an all too young age. A nice little package of a thriller; cold, classy, frightening.

WARNING: I advise anyone who has not seen the movie yet to not read the comment.I had been overly interested in seeing What Lies Beneath for some time now. Having no idea what it was about, only that it was a Horror movie that had Michelle Pfiefer and Harrison Ford, but with the title and cast like it has and remembering it being a pretty big movie, that was enough for me to be thoroughly piqued. This movie delivers. I watched this late at night in my new apartment, all the lights out and was creeped out and spooked, which is not any easy task to accomplish with myself. What Lies Beneath is incredibly eerie and does a damn well job at making the audience uncomfortable in their seat. Like most comments say, this movie relies on shear fear and not bloody gore and cheap gimmicks. It is a masterpiece Thriller, even if the ghost story has been done to death now. That is not what is important to remember when watching WLB. The acting, the sets, the realness and utter scare value; those are what make this movie great and re-watchable.One scene in particular, when Michelle Pfiefer is in the bathtub paralyzed, about to drown, I found myself gasping for breath. It made me feel like I was drowning as well. She definitely plays a wonderful and believable role and is the star while Harrison Ford sits back and waits for his climactic moment. The doors opening and closing, faces in the mist with little to no background music to cause excellent build up. This is what makes movies scary and real. A fine tribute to slashers long before it like Halloween, WLB deserves more credit than it gets. Even if it is a ghost story, it is done just fine. The movie flows well. I never hear anyone talking about it anymore, and it is great! Don't know what more I could say about it. Give it another try if you found thyself hating it at first glance.
