Summary: ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE
Review: I cannot believe that I paid to see this movie in the theaters. I would give anything to be able to go back in time and see something else. The plot in this movie moves so unbelievably slow. There is nothing scary, creepy, or even remotely startling in this movie. They try to make the bathroom scenes scary, but it doesn't work. If you want to see the best parts, watch the trailer. Both Harrison Ford & Michelle Pfeiffer give such weak performances that you can't believe these are two premier actors. I have probably seen thousands of movies, and this has to make my top 10 list of worst movies ever. I just wish I could give it zero stars.

Summary: KEEPS YOU ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT...
Review: I SAW THIS IN THE THEATRE. IT IS A WELL-TOLD STORY, THAT KEEPS YOU GUESSING RIGHT UP TO THE END. IT HAS A SURPRISE ENDING, THAT WILL ALSO SCARE THE LIFE OUT OF YOU. IT STARTS OUT WITH HARRISON FORD AND MICHELLE PFEIFFER TAKING THEIR DAUGHTER TO COLLEGE AND THEN IT STARTS OUT SLOWLY AND THEN PICKS UP STEAM AFTER THAT. THEIR ARE SOME FUNNY PARTS TO IT. LIKE WHEN THEY ARE MAKING LOVE, AND TRYING TO DO IT AS LOUD AS THEIR NEIGHBORS. THEIR NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS ARE WEIRD, AND YOU REALLY THINK THE MAN DID IT. THE BATHROOM, OUJIA BOARD, SCENCES ARE GREAT. I WILL DEFINETLY GET THIS TO ADD TO MY COLLECTION. KEEP THE TITLE WHAT LIES BENEATH IN THE BACK OF YOUR MIND TOWARDS THE END. THEN YOU WILL REALLY CONNECT THE TITLE WITH THE PLOT OF THE MOVIE. IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE A MOVIE LIKE THIS HAS BEEN AROUND. THERE SHOULD BE MORE LIKE IT. IT GOES BACK TO THE BASICS, WHERE A GOOD SCARE DIDN'T NECESSARILY MEAN A LOT OF NUDE SCENCE, PROFANITY, AND GORE.

Summary: Parents Like Scary Movies, Too!
Review: It was amusing to see the droves of adults who went to see "What Lies Beneath" because of the stars. "What Lies Beneath" is basically lite-horror fare, a "I Know What You Did Last Summer" targeted to adults. All jokes aside, it was a nicely done thriller without the help of a knife/hook wielding serial killer with a cache of bodies hidden in the basement/tower/freezer. A lot of critics griped about some of the standard devices used to frighten the audience. Well, in my case, it still worked, so if it ain't broke... I jumped out of my seat a few times. Overall, a nice psychological element to all the terror rather than relying on the ever popular gore. Both Harrison and Michelle did a nice job on their characters, which makes up for the few slow moments in this movie.

Summary: One of the scariest and creepiest movies out there!
Review: I saw "What Lies Beneath" in the movie theaters. It was an excellent movie. The movie was very suspenseful and it was very well written out. The end of the movie was the scariest. It kept me on top of my chair for a while! Although, the reason I rated it 4 stars, not 5 is because this is not a movie that you would want to see at home. You can enjoy the movie and its suspense much more on the large screen of the movie theater.

Summary: Is Zemeckis loseing it as a film maker?
Review: This was a waste of a good actor and actress, and does not show the more creative side that Zemeckis has shown in other movies. The first half-hour of the movie is horror done for cheap laughs. The middle act is a Ghost Story that goes no where, and the end shows where there are serious problems between husband and wife, Like we should be surprised? This was a waste of time and film making.

Summary: Not much lies beneath *What Lies Beneath*.
Review: *What Lies Beneath* continues Hollywood's recent foray into developing respectable horror films and / or ghost stories. This one isn't quite as good as last year's *The Sixth Sense* and *Stir of Echoes*, but it does deliver a handful of quality scares, and the production values are good enough to make the ghostly visitations not look ridiculous. But there's something missing here . . . or perhaps, something ADDED that's unwelcome. Namely, the presence of Big Guns, i.e., A-list actors (Michelle Pfeiffer and Harrison Ford) and an A-list director (Robert Zemeckis). What's ADDED contributes to what's missing, which of course is originality. Or daring. Or the unusual. The presence of million-dollar celebrities almost guarantees that any movie will be conventional, that it will cozy up to safe cliches and well-worn storylines, that it will vastly serve said celebrities' egos, and *What Lies Beneath* is no exception. (Bruce Willis' recent collaborations with the talented M. Night Shyamalan is an exception which merely proves the rule.) Zemeckis certainly pampers his Big Guns in this feature: Pfeiffer and Ford live in a Martha Stewart / Ethan Allan / shabby-chic Vermont, in a Martha Stewart / (etc.) home. Not content to have the main characters be business people or doctors or something, the screenwriters give them glamorous careers: he's a geneticist; she's a former cellist. Pfeiffer's first husband, also a musician, died some years ago, and despite her new marriage to rock-solid Ford, she's a little off-balance . . . i.e., ripe for a visitation from a ghost. Incidentally, I may as well say that the two principals have all the chemistry of two icebergs passing in the night. Mr. Ford continues the non-emotive, rather sullen, muttering style of acting he's lately perfected, and Pfeiffer looks vaguely ticked off and certainly HUNGRY (the woman needs to gain about 10 pounds). OK, so forget the characterizations . . . what about the plot? Well, the less said the better, because the movie delivers a "surprise ending" a la *The Sixth Sense*. I will only say that the "crisis-stretch" not only goes on for too long, but also renders the ghost of the drowned woman that has haunted Pfeiffer's Claire through the whole movie almost irrelevant. You finish this movie saying to yourself, "Was the ghost really necessary?" But that's typical Zemeckis, who favors exciting plots over logical ones.

Summary: One of the best poltergeist flicks I've seen.
Review: I saw this movie on theaters and was impressed, mainly by Harrison Ford. I have always been a Harrison Ford fan but never a ghost film fan. But finally someone made a ghost film with intelligence and using traditional ghostly scares. Don't get me wrong it's no 6th Sense but still worth seeing. Please, everyone who buys this without seeing or renting, reconsider. I feel that only an idiot would buy this movie after seeing because most of the fun is all in the surprise. Another thing, never cast someone like Harrison Ford, including Sean Connery and especially Tommy Lee Jones, as a villian because their just too damn likable.

Summary: Ugh
Review: I first heard that this was a scary film and I was excited about seeing it. What a mistake! First of all, Harrison Ford cannot play the bad guy! That just isn't him.(I like good Harrison) Second of all, the first 30 minutes of the movie are incredibly pointless and if you took it out the movie would still make sense. The movie is sooo slow moving and you think that it is ending but it doesn't about 5 times. By the time the movie ended, I was more than ready to go home. The only good reason to see this movie is because of Harrison Ford.
