Summary: I did not anticipate liking this movie, but I did!
Review: C'mon...Harrison Ford as a villain? No way. One of those helpless-female-trapped-in-danger movies is not what I pay to see in theaters. Still, in DVD, it was enjoyable and had great moments of tension and interesting visuals.

Enjoy it!

Summary: Chilling, creepy and kinda long
Review: What Lies Beneath is a very good film. Its' style is very similar to Hitchcock.

While it is a long film that could have been shorter, that is the only drawback to this movie. While I don't necessarily care for the actor's, I thought the pacing, camera work, and script were excellent. There are many creepy parts to this movie, each one building up from the last one, until it all comes together in the climax.

It's worth your time if you like suspenseful, well thought out movies.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Well Made Thriller!
Review: I found this to be a very well made thriller. Yes it is frightening and fun! The detractors here that claim it is boring simply can't sit through something that isn't a mindless grade-school level film. The direction and cinematography are great and provide a great mood and feel to the film.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: So boring and predictable...
Review: ...it was almost unbearable to make it to the end. I haven't been writing many reviews lately, but this one was sooo bad I couldn't resist. Visually beautiful, and some real good casting (although I think Harrison Ford wasn't so enthusiastic in this one). The problem was the pacing of the story, and the propostorous yet predictable script. Only slightly more entertaining than watching paint peel.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Boring movie!
Review: I really wanted to see this movie when it first came out. I saw it for my first time on video and liked it. But when I saw it for my second time I found it frankly boring. My best friend saw it and she said she got scared. I thought What Lies Beneath was one of those movies that you like from the start and it gets really boring to the ending. If you want to see a good scary movie rent The Sixth Sense. Haley Joel Osmont has more good acting then Harrison Ford. I liked Harrison Ford in the Star Wars movies but the way he acts in his other movies looks like he seems a little disappointed. The only thing that's scary about this movie is when Harrison Ford is a good guy in the beginning and he turns into a bad guy at the end. So don't rent this movie unless if you really want to see it rent The Sixth Sense it's much better than this movie.

Summary: What Lies Beneath? Absolutely nothing.
Review: Perhaps director/writer Robert Zemeckis should have stuck with comedies like "Back to the Future". This attempt at a thriller is dismal, becoming increasingly scattered until the story finally peters out into complete boredom. It seems like Zemeckis would have said to himself at one point "Hey, what th' Hell is going on here?" That's what I was saying after about 45 minutes. Plot lines are developed and then disappear. Coincidences and revelations are totally unbelievable. And the "surprise" ending? Preposterous. The stars Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer (who are both starting to look a little dowdy, by the way) give blah performances. For anyone who has never seen a classic Hitchcock (and there are a lot of el-cheapo touches here) this "thriller" might be acceptable. For others ... caveat emptor!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A soul suvival from memories !
Review: This movie was good in the beginning and the end.It had a special start to reel you in and leave you wondering if something was going to happen.I felt that Harrison Ford and Michelle Phiffer were good in their acting and audience hipnotic spell they used,it was great!I like suspense and as I got deep into the movie,I began to see the light.This movie is good for those who like to investagate the unusual and jump out of their seat at the end . I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Terror Lies Beneath!
Review: What lies Beneath is a great movie. From the setting to the acting, it's all just wonderful. Two lovers, Michelle ?Pfeiffer? and Harrison Ford are living in a house near an ocean and weird things start happening to Michelle. The door shuts on her, she sees a reflection of someone in the bathtub, and the mirror writes a word by itself. There are many jumpy scenes leading to the conclusion. I did already know the conclusion half way through the movie; it was kind of easy to guess, but still, it is done terribly creepy and awesome. Lots of Oh My Gosh! scenes in the end which leave you thinking; that's all I'll say, don't want to spoil it for you! Yes, I'd definitely recommend this to everyone. Whether you like this or that, this is a good movie for most people. Just remember, as I said before, don't be eating popcorn - all the "jumping out" scenes will make the popcorn FLY!

Summary: One of the Worst Endings Ever
Review: From the beginning of the movie it is great. I believe that It builds suspense and it keeps my attention. But as it goes on it starts to drag. The ending is just terrible. It is so unblievable. What are the odds that they would fall into the lake in which the girl was killed. What are the odds that the murdered girl would come back to life and hold Harrison Ford down so he will drowned. And why would Michelle Pfeiffer chase after the identity of the missing girl. Harrison Ford acted terrible in the movie. Clearly one of his worst performances of all time. This movie could possible be a good movie to rent if you like good begginings but terrible endings. But it is not good enough to buy. It does not hit in my top 100 charts.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Strange and Morbid
Review: This movie was definitely strange. I sometimes like murder mysteries and this was the first time I've seen one that wasn't a cheesy teen flick. Before I blew six dollars on a ticket to see it, I had heard pretty good things about it. My advice to one who wishes to see this movie: Don't rely on another's review of this movie. Personally, I don't like it.
