Summary: Great beginning, predictable middle, overblown ending.
Review: But I bought it anyway, after seeing it on cable!

This movie had the effect on me of so many modern films; it had a great premise, but fell back on too many cliches and had a weak ending, prompting me to remark afterwards, "They could have done a lot more with that." Nevertheless, I couldn't resist buying it because I'm a sucker for old-fashioned ghost stories and this one has it all with ghostly apparitions, a seance with a Ouija board, the usual what-does-the-ghost-want clues and a watery grave. There are the nods to Hitchcock--in fact, given how things turn out, there's quite the feeling of "Oh, come ON!" that Ford's character is named Norman--but Michelle Pfeiffer's performance makes it seem fresh. Ford is his usual stiff, stolid self. It was certainly worth two hours and a big bowl of popcorn!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Suspense Thriller I Have Ever Seen!!!!!!
Review: I just love this movie. Like some movies it is just talk talk talk but in this you are on the edge of you seat from begining to end. I am very dissapointed that hollywood hasn't made movies like this in a while. I hope they make one real soon because we all need a little scare sometimes. I think Dream Works makes the best suspense thrillers. If you liked this movie I would suggest The Haunting.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Don't Watch It Alone!
Review: This ghost movie has enough startling, jump-out-of-your-seat scenes to scare even the non-believers into turning on their lights.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Brilliant
Review: I absolutely loved this film. I was beginning to worry that a good ghost story was never going to happen again and I'd be forced to wear out my Changling DVD. Well this movie has some pretty good eerie scares. It just plain delivers on every level: acting, filmwork, suspense, thrill, horror, etc...Great story and concept. Only one has topped this lately and that is THE OTHERS. Another great ghost story!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: You've got to be kidding me
Review: 5 stars???? ...More like ½ a star. Good actors gone bad. Are you sure this is the same guy that directed Forest Gump? The storyline was pretty week and all of the acting in it was horribly cheesy. Seriously, you could see the 'scary' scenes from a mile away. When you see someone on screen slowly trying to round a corner, and the music is building so that you know when they peer around the corner, something will be there, that isn't very scary. Worse than any Lifetime Original®, and Harrison Ford's worst acting to date.....yes....even worse than Six Days Seven Nights. It definitely offers no new twists that other horror/suspense movies haven't already covered, so where are people getting 5 stars from, or even 3? Well, I guess the only reason I can give it any stars is that it is pretty scary that this movie made over $100 million in the theaters, making the American public more scary than the movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best "Horror" movies of 2000
Review: Though that's not saying much considering there wasn't much competition. Michelle Pfeiffer was awesome in this movie. So was Harrison Ford except for the fact he ends up being the bad guy for once. Great plot, too. When I went to the theater to see it, I was thinking I'm sure this is a thriller movie , not horror. Boy was I wrong!! It wasn't all blood and guts, just good old fashioned fright and mystery with a little gore thrown in.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Drawn out and obvious
Review: If Michelle didn't look so good I would have probably walked out. All the waiting for that lousy ending.

Please

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: CREEPY
Review: I had heard so much scary stuff about this film in the summer of 2000. My ex and I decided to see it for ourselves. I was both disappointed and shocked. Harrison Ford's (a great actor) role was very nonchalant and dry in the film until you found out that he...(I don't want to spoil the ending). The movie had superior graphics and a classic cast (with Ford and Pfieffer). It was exactly what I expected...bone-chilling and on-the-edge-of-your seat-suspense.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great storytelling
Review: What Lies Beneath was a great movie. Michelle Pfeiffer did a great job of playing on of the lead characters in this movie as she discovers secrets from the past. The seemingly harmless Harrison Ford turns out to be something that he is not in the end in a wonderful plot twist. The viewer of this movie should expect a few surprises and a pretty good ending. WATCH THIS MOVIE!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another film to scare the love out of you.
Review: This movie is another one of the greatest Hitchcock Style film. Harrison Ford, and Michelle Pfeiffer play a great roll in this unimaginable film. This film is so scary! it'll make you want to be crying tears of terror. It's very scary! even so scary! that you'll have a hard time talking, and even you'll have a hard time driving to and from work. It has some jump scenes which will make you be carefull about eating Popcorn! because it'll send the popcorn flying. This film is absolutely terrifying to those who've never been scared before. This is the best, and the greatest scariest film I've found amung all the scary movies I watch. I've watched this movie, and it scared the love out of me. I recommend this film to any scary movie fan of the future. It'll scare the love out of you.
