Summary: OH, MY GOD!!!!
Review: If you're a Hitchcock fan, this is very close to what I think he would have made if he had had today's technology available to him.It's about an average suburban couple -- the wife finds out her husband has had an affair. It's not so much as him having the affair, but how his wife finds out about it! Therein lies the mystery and the story! If you are at all squeemish about seeing things like this alone, beware! It's not blood and gore kind of scared, but the kind that definitely plays on the mind!!!!

Summary: EXCELLENT -- may be more of a woman's movie
Review: I have seen this movie both in the theater and on DVD at home. First off, my daughter and I went to see the movie together in the theater. Let's just say there are a couple scenes we both screamed at in unison with other theater goers. It's not exactly a horror movie and there are no blood and guts, there are just some tremendously alarming scenes. Don't let kids under 13 see this movie if possible. When the DVD came out my husband and I purchased it as did a couple we know. Both of us couples watched it the same night in different houses -- the women (my friend and I) reacted much the same as my daughter and I had in the theater. Our husbands' reaction was sort of ho hum -- neither of them enjoyed it as much as they anticipated they would. So perhaps it's a woman's movie? Though I have a brother who loved it, so maybe it's not... Other than my assessment that this movie is a great one, based on my experience, I can't say more because it would give away too much of the plot. Let's just say, a friend of mine saw it before me and asked if I'd seen it. When she found out I hadn't seen it yet she refused to discuss any part of it because she thought she would spoil it for me -- and she would have. I don't want to spoil it for you, so I can't say more about it. It's an unusual film. Given the mixed reactions I've seen with friends and family, perhaps you would be better advised to rent it before you go out and buy it. If you love it, buy it so you can watch it again someday.

Summary: A GOOD MOVIE!!!
Review: I remember when this movie came out in theatres, I went to see it but not really expecting much. But after I saw it, I realized it was the best movie of 2000! Since most of you know the story, I won't go into that but I will say that this is not only a movie for anyone who likes thrillers and suspense movies but to anyone who likes Alfred Hitchock, because this movie's direction is a lot like Alfred Hitchock's movies and in many ways be considered a tribute to the master of suspense. This movie will definitely keep you at the edge of your seat. And it also brings out the best of both Michelle Pfeiffer and Harrison Ford. Anyone who frequently buys movies, should definitely buy this one.

Summary: great performance and story telling.
Review: when it comes to a movie with two BIG names like Michelle and Harrison, first i naturally hestitate if i really have to watch this movie or not. it's like some one makes movie with so famous people like them, there are something missing in the movie. well, it's my great stereotype about choosing movie that i should avoid from now on. What I found through watching What Lies Beneath(well, i was forced to watch from a friend of mine who wanted me to teased also because he couldn't finish this movie for it was too scary for him), was THE fine performance from Michelle as a classy, gentle, feable and delicate Claire. I've never seen any other movies of her, but, I can definitely say that she was beautiful and her act was very convincing to me to feel the role as mid-aged suburban woman with lots of troubles in her life. the story-line was good. i know everybody knows basically what the story is, so, i don't want to tell. but, even though you know every plot and story of this movie, you will still enjoy the way the director leads the story to the end. it was good enough for me to watch two more times.

Summary: Best Movie of the Century!!!
Review: Acting, plot, and script were absolutely superb. Better than Basic Instinct or Saving Private Ryan. Should have won dozens of Oscars. A must own for everyone.

Summary: what snores beneath
Review: Michelle Pfeiffer plays the beloved stereotype of Hollywood mavens: the fragile, delicate, simpering little child bride who screams a lot. Her husband is boorish, dull, moody Harrison Ford. He frowns a lot. For one hundred million dollars it took to make this snooze-fest, you wonder where did all the money go? Certainly not for special effects. A tub filled with water with mist swirling around was done routinely back in the 30s. Some special effects. Certainly not for the wardrobe. Mousy little Michelle as the betroubled heroine wears that much beloved outfit of mousy heroines everywhere: jeans and tennis shoes. What a wardrobe! The only thing missing is her bottle of Evian water held against her chest, with the label showing, to show how mod she is. Michelle's character is so delicate and terrified of everything that she screams when she sees a shadow and she screams when the phone rings. In one pivotal scene, she actually picks up a razor-sharp shard of mirror to protect herself. Has she ever cut herself before? Can't she find something heavier than a piece of glass to protect herself? The whole film is bathed in a watery, drab light. And you wonder what the timid, delicate, child=like bride like Michelle ever see in her boorish, brooding husband--and vice versa? As for the big jolt at the end, you've got it figured it out if you've watched anything by Hitchcock. How I would love to see what he would have done with this predictable soap opera, with some swirling mist thrown in and a heroine so scared of her shadow that the part should have been written as that of a two-year-old girl. Both star parts could have starred any mediocre soap actor who may have generated some electricity between the couple.

Summary: Shocking, yet very entertaining!!
Review: "What Lies Beneath" is a scarefest that will have you on the edge of your seat. Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer gave great performances as Norman and Claire, the perfect couple leading the "perfect" life, until these ghostly apparitions start appearing in the house, etc. This film will send chills tingling down your back until the end. And also, you will never believe who the killer is in this movie!! But I will not say who he/she is until someone has rented or bought this movie. The extras for the DVD were exceptional. The pretty decent extra was the trailer for the film. But anyways, dont miss this film!!!

Summary: Stylish, suspenseful, fun... And stupid
Review: This movie is neither intelligent, nor original. However it manages to work wonders if you want your pants scared off. Director Robert Zemeckis claims this as his homage to Hitchcock, and as such it works far better than 1998's "Psycho" remake. He deftly employs The Master's favorite themes of voyerism and illusion, and much of Claire's psychological issues seem to have come straight from his mind. Then there's that wonderful bathtub scene... Of course, the movie also uses some cheap scare tactics, but right up until the final bath, this film seems to have a decent hold on itself. After that, though, we are treated to almost every "horror" cliche in the book. This is still better done than most films in that category today, with Zemeckis using his now trademark mirror-effects and nifty camerawork, but the final underwater climax is just plain silly. I will say that, because of its style and the fact that it prefers suspense to gore and violence, it *is* still better than the standard horror fare. Better than "The Haunting," better than "Scream 3," better then... What else is there? But still, couldn't we have had just one more rewrite?
