What Lies Beneath Audience Reviews

Jeanskynebu the audience applauded
PodBill Just what I expected
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
junomartin Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfieffer are a couple in a beautiful house haunted by a ghost. Bob Zemeckis is a great director but this is one of his lesser efforts. There is nothing really wrong with the film except looking at the marquee names one would have expected more. It has ghosts, jump scares and spooky music- even great locations but it is better suited as a film made by a first time director not the guy who made Back to the future or Contact. Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfieffer add allure to the star cast but you can clearly see by their motions they are pondering on when the cheque will clear.

joshfedderson This movie is very chilling, it's one of the mystery/horror movies that keep you hooked to the very end. And that's what "What Lies Beneath" did for me.The story goes like this, a woman named claire Spencer has the life she has always wanted, a nice house, a good husband, and a daughter. One day her daughter goes off to college. As time passes by strange things start to happen. Doors are opening, electronics are turning on, things fall and break in the house. Overtime it gets worse, claire starts seeing the figure of a girl in the house and she is convinced that it's a ghost trying to harm her. Others don't really believe her, especially her husband Norman Spencer. Claire wanting to prove of the ghost presence, starts performing rituals and spiritual communications. It works but no one still does not believe her. As memories come flooding back, Claire starts putting the pieces together and it eventually leads to her husband. Who for many years has kept a deep dark secret.Something he has kept hidden has come back. Secrets can come back to haunt you.This is not your ordinary ghost story, this story proves that secrets should not be kept hidden.I like this movie because of the story and the way it slowly plays out. I like the mystery of the story, how claire puts it all together and the creepiness of it all. Michelle Pfeiffer and Harrison Ford play their parts really well, and the woman who plays the ghost, Amber Valletta,does a really good and creepy job of it. One night I watched this alone and I couldn't go to sleep, it was that creepy for me.I am giving "What Lies Beneath" a 10. For the story, the creepiness, and deep dark secret that is so well hidden it really surprises you when claire finds out. I wish they would make more movies like this, a good classic ghost story with a mystery behind it. A story about secrets that can come back to haunt you, no matter how hard you try to hide them.
