Summary: what lies beneath
Review: I thought this was a cool movie I watched it with my friends and I thought it was awsome. I love to watch scary movies with my friends but not by my self. It wasn't really that scary but is was really fun to watch and very cool I loved it alot.

Summary: Outstanding, Complicated Emotional Drama
Review: I really enjoyed this movie. There are a few slow moments, and a couple of awkward edits. But Michelle Pfiffer gives a very surprising and versatile performance. The story combines a tragic romance with a psychodrama in very balanaced amounts. This is a thinking man's horror film, with elements that are just real enough to be appealing--and very startling. There aren't any characters that run into the basement when being chased, or garrish special effects. The characters seem real and their fears are painfully beleivable. The sound is outstanding, and the picture is very rich. Details in the shadows and the many important reflected images make for a great picture and a pleasing DVD.

Summary: So much potential...
Review: What Lies Beneath started out terrific. It got more and more spooky, culminating in the scene where Clair is posessed by the dead girl. After that, it just peters out. The end is too drawn out. How many times can a person almost die, then get up again??? It got old and pretty unbelievable after a while. There was so much potential at the beginning, but they didn't work with it, and I found myself longing for it to end, or at least for Clair to do something smart, like call 911 on the cell phone or beat down the neighbors door while calling for help.

Summary: Couldn't Have Been Better!
Review: I had very high expectations for this movie so I was not shocked that it was simply wonderful. I do not get scared easily and this movie had me on the edge of my seat the entire movie.The last 20 minutes are almost unbearably suspenseful. By the way, I was totally shocked at the surprise ending. If you like a good scare then this movie is definetly for you.

Summary: A chiller of a thriller...
Review: One of the best horror/thrillers made for years! I loved this movie, it had some genuinely creepy moments. I won't go in to plot details, but it will say it was well though out. Oh and watch out for a rather creepy ending: as the screen fades to black at the very end, just before the credits, look out for the ghostly face that appears, a final clever effect!

Summary: Red Herring'sville
Review: I was very disappointed with this movie. It started out suspenseful enough, but then it couldn't decide what it wanted to be, a ghost movie, a murder mystery, whatever... It was very predictable and the attempted murder scene in the bathtub, rather than being suspenseful ended up being long and tedious (no "Psycho" shower scene). Then the old cliche of having the murderer revive after you think he's a goner... Don't villains who get conked out ever stay put ! Then the scene in the lake where the murderer tries to get rid of the Michelle in the sunken car ! It was all in the dark, and I only found out who survived (another cliche, as if the murderer gets away !...) when Michelle Pfeiffer visits the tomb of the other missing girl, so we know that she escaped from the doomed car. How she escaped - that's the mystery for me !

Summary: Bravo!
Review: This film kept me on edge, and did not try to seduce me by a "get her" theme throughout the movie. "Beneath" and its superb digital mastery, with nail-biting suspense scenes, fail to mimick other predecessors--creating a roller-coaster of intensity that peaked periodically. A supernatural thriller in its own right, a movie like this is usually unappreciated and scorned by the most fervent of drama criticts. I even saw full-grown men shrinking into balls of rigid rock when the agony of suspense bore down on their helpless bodies in the theater. You have to see this show, !!!

Summary: "BENEATH THEM ALL ......."
Review: Pity! This could have been a great movie, instead we're stuck with what basically looks like outtakes from what could have been something Great! Michelle Pfeiffer as the misguided, somewhat moodswung wife, and Harrison Ford as tanned and libidoed husband are an excellent mismatched pair. But this one's peppered with so many red herrings you could comfortably open your own one night stand for the misbegotten! Yes, things do rattle and go bump [more than once] in the night, but it just could be the Viagraed neighbors across the way who seem to have just a touch more volume going than our Emptynested couple [daughter's away at college, so wife's alone......]. Hitchcock? No, that's been done so many times, let the genius alone! DIANA SCARWID does add a welcome touch of CPR to the proceedings, but we flatline without her! Production and tech. values are - as with all of Mr. Zemeckis' work - superb, but we deserve just a little more from this established and respected director. [Now he did make this "inbetween" another movie]. For more thrills, and a great payoff see Liz Taylor's slightly lost 1973 "Nightwatch" with Laurence Harvey and Billie Whitelaw -OR, better still, the flawed, but Arctic "Ghost Story" now THERE's something to scream about!

Summary: This has to be the most unscary movie Ive ever seen.
Review: This movie was so freaking predictable that, had I a notepad handy, could have written down the remainder of the plot after the first ten minutes. The scar tactics in this movie are so juevinile! There is only one shocking scene and that is the very first supernatural manifestatyion when Michelle Pfiffer enters the house and the stereo kicks on. Hey time to switch tactics right? Apparently not for the producers. At every point after that where there is supposed to be a scary scene the same BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO in your face tactic is employed. After the first one you are expecting all the rest! When they were in the bathroom fooling with the ouiji board I would have been more frightened if Wierd Al Yankovich had walked through the door suddenly. I and everyone else in the theatre who sat nearby had already figured Harrison Ford as the Perp(who had an affair and was tryin to cover it up) from scene 1. Furthermore I was just dissbelieving that Harrison Ford was a bad guy - bad guy for the part I guess. Dont buy or rent this it really blows!

Summary: What Lies Above
Review: Wow! This first-class thriller had me gripping the edge of my seat. I consider myself a pro of horror films, thus having to go out of my way to find new films as I watch all of the horror film movies at Blockbuster, which I have done with 3 of the store's locations. I typically think that if a film is not rated 'R', then it can't compare a whole lot. Boy, was I wrong!! I screamed THREE times during this movie, which is absolutely and totally unlike me. And, I usually figure out what will happen in the films, but I couldn't begin to even guess in this movie! I called this movie 'What Lies Above' because it lies above all of the movies that I have ever seen in my entire life. SEE THIS FILM!!
