Summary: WHEN THE MUSIC IS THE SCARIEST THING IN THE MOVIE¿
Review: The young woman is in the basement looking at old photo albums and suddenly the music assumes a sinister tone. The woman looks around suspiciously and the music heads toward a peak. The hair on the back of your neck begins to stand up...And...AND...the scene changes. The woman comes home and when she reaches for her door...the music assumes a funeral theme...the door opens by itself and what is waiting for her inside...What...What is it?! NOTHING!!!I have just described the most frightening aspects of What Lies Beneath, a monumental dud starring Harrison Ford in his most unenthusiastic role ever. Michelle Pfeiffer stumbles as his wife Claire. This movie is so predictable it leaves virtually nothing to the imagination. I could drop all sorts of scene clues but what would that leave you. As I have already said the movie score brings you right to the edge and then drops you like a hot potato. It's like riding a roller coaster that climbs to the top of that first, ominous hill only to discover that the rest of the ride is one long, gradual slope to the end. Be prepared to be scared not only by the music but by ringing telephones, pictures that keep falling off desks, possessed sound and computer systems, and, oh yes, my favorite--a plumbers nightmare--a bathtub that keeps spontaneously filling itself with water.

Summary: A Supernatural Fatal Attraction!
Review: This was a pretty good thriller about a depressed woman believing she's going crazy when strange things begin happening in her house. Turns out that it's the spirit of a jealous, vengeful past lover of her husband's. It's along the lines of "Fatal Attraction" but with the supernatural added in. Very suspenseful ending similar to the classic "Fatal Attraction" ending with the bath tub, but a little different. If you're into ghost stories, horror thrillers, and soap opera thrillers, then you should see this.

Summary: I want my two hours back
Review: If you think this movie is scary, you must never watch horror movies. If you are the kind of person who really doesn't care too much about what is really scary, and doesn't care about things like plots, then here is a movie for you.
Harrison Ford in one of his worst roles, will not scare you for a millisecond.
Michelle Pfeiffer is mediocre at best.
This movie is so boring that they need a separate unrelated story that leads nowhere to fill time. And that story is the only suspense in the entire movie. I saw this in the movie theater and could not believe my ears to hear some people actually being shocked and scared.
Let me give you a hint...Nothing happens in this movie. Nothing. You have to wait 30 minutes to find out the noise was really a cat. This is the kind of movie so boring that people will try and convince you it is a "classic" style movie. Trust me when I say that to try and lump this with Psycho is blasphemy.
My recommendation is to never ever see this movie. It reminds me of movies like The Ring, where theres a big mystery to be solved only at the end. See The Ring, don't see this waste of space.

Summary: Cookie Cutter Scary Movie
Review: So my girlfriend convinced me to take her to see "What Lies Beneath" when it first came out. I figured, with a cast this good, how bad can it be? The answer? REALLY REALLY BAD. "What Lies Beneath" follows just about every cookie cutter scary movie rule that I can think of. From the ever popular "oh is that a ghost!? ;SCREAM; Oh! It's you Sparky, thank goodness" scene to the over used "Writing in the steam on the bathroom mirror" trick. This movie was so predictable, I was ready to walk out a half hour before the movie was over without any fear that I would miss anything. It was a struggle to stay for the entire thing without standing up and leaving, or at the very least cracking up with laughter at how bad this movie is. From the very beginning it tries too hard to be a scary movie. Watching the neighbor crying through the fence in the middle of the day does NOT deserve suspenseful music. There are lots of popular horror movies out there. They all have something going for them, something different that makes them special. "What Lies Beneath" just doesn't. It doesn't have the humor of "Scream", it doesn't have the camp value of the "Evil Dead" series, it doesn't have the teen appeal of "I Know What You Did Last Summer", it doesn't have the pure suspense of the "Alien" series, and it doesn't have the surprise ending of "The Sixth Sense". If you like predictable make-you-jump scary movies, this could be the one for you. If you're like me and you like something with a little originality, you're better off leaving this one alone.

Summary: ........boo.
Review: THIS is what passes for a horror movie in this day and age!???!! To quote the great Homer J. Simpson, this movie is more boring than church. How can anyone consider this movie even REMOTELY scary or suspenseful? Aside from a few surprises (which are all shown on the trailer, by the way), this movie is pretty much dialogue, scared looks, and a lousy plot filled with more holes than swiss cheese. It is also very long...it moves in a way that you keep thinking it's gonna end, and BAM! Something else comes up, and we have to wait fifteen minutes for that to get solved. If you want a real horror movie, I recommend anything from my list, "The Best Scary Movies Out There!". But pass this one up. Really.

Summary: should have been great
Review: I really expected this to be a great movie. It's directed by Robert Zemeckis, who did the movies Forrest Gump, Who Framed Roger Rabbit and the Back to the Future trilogy--by no means the greatest films ever made, but good movies. And you have Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer playing the leads--two great actors. I'm not sure if they've starred in a movie together yet, but if not, it is about time. And Pfeiffer does a good job, Ford does a good job. What is great is that you don't often see Ford in this type of role (I won't spoil it for you). But neither does the level of work that they are capable of and normally do. It's an interesting story, though one that has been done a few times. Like Minority Report, it has all the ingrediants of being a great film, but it just falls short. I don't know what it is (maybe it was Zemeckis was focused on Cast Away, he made what lies beneath in between filming Cast Away- while Hanks was losing all that weight- and wasn't focused on this film). There are two interesting facets to the film, one is some interesting camera moves: long takes, glass floors, etc; the other are the homages to Hitchcock (Rear Window and Psycho). I'd watch it, but don't expect this to be the best thing you've seen. The dvd is ok. There is a commentary by the director and a behind-the-scenes featurette. But once again, nothing spectacular. It's a good way to pass a couple of hours though.

Summary: Seen part of it and the Hindi version
Review: I just saw part of What Lies Beneath. I also saw the Hindi Version, 'Raaz' a.k.a. Secret Starring: Dino Morea, Bipasha Basu, Malini Sharma, Shruti Ulfat, Ashutosh Rana and others. Raaz is about an unhappily married couple, Aditya (Dino Morea) and Sanjana Dhanraj (Bipasha Basu)who are on the brink of divorce. But they decide to give it one more chance by going to Ooty, where first fell in love and the dream house. But it's not a dream house. Sanjana is being haunted by a restless spirit. Aditya refuses to believe all of this. She gets help from her friend Priya (Shruti Ulfat) and a whack proffessor, Professor Agni (Ashutosh Rana).
The "Secret"
Sanjana is being haunted by Malini (Malini Sharma), Aditya's ex-lover. When Aditya tells her, she feels betrayed. She goes far away from him until she's told that the spirit of Malini is going to kill Aditya. Aditya was in the hospital. To save him, Sanjana, Priya, and Professor Agni have to burn the body. Malini's spirit has electricuted Professor Agni. Sanjana burns the body. Sanjana and Priya are glad that Aditya made it. I would give this 4 stars.
My guessed rating of the Hindi version is rated this
PG-13 Parents Strongly Cautioned
Some Material May Be Innapropriate for Children Under 13
Horror/Violence, Language, and Sensuality. Hollywood films aren't the only was that contain sensuality.
DO NOT WATCH THIS UNLESS SOMEBODY ELSE IS WITH YOU!! ENGLISH OR HINDI!!

Summary: Haunting
Review: This movie was very haunting and told through a minimal amount of characters and superb acting. One character slowly finds the strength to face the truth, while the other has the past come back to haunt him and avenge his misdeeds! Very well done!

Summary: Excellent suspense drama with a twist!
Review: I'm not sure I could watch this movie again, however it is not for the reasons some of the other reviewers have written.
I actually found this film completely engrossing, and was on the edge of my seat at the end. The suspense is completely overpowering and it had me shaking at points.
The acting and directing is marvelous and it was just wonderful to see a really good thriller. The ghost is really well done by both the actress who plays her and the effects used to haunt Michelle's character....Both Harrison and Michelle give excellent performances, as a matter of fact I think I can honestly say I was completely surprised by Harrisons work in this film!
The ending is what flipped me out though, it had such a horrible twist to the story that was so well done and upsetting that I'm just not sure I could watch it again!

Summary: You'll Jump Out of Your Seat!
Review: "What Lies Beneath" is a psychologial thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time you watch it. There are so many twists and turns that you never know what to expect. Michelle Pfeiffer and Harrison Ford did a great job with their performances, however, I do think that Ford was a little too dry at times. The ending is very surprising and the heart-stopping scares will keep you thoroughly entertained!
