Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 1.5/4 --
Although Harrison Ford may not be an actor with great range, he's usually a better judge of projects than this.

It's ultimately impossible not to label What Lies Beneath as a missed opportunity that could and should have been much, much better...

...Zemeckis is having a grand time making his audiences jump...

Rating: 2/4 --
Lacking a smarter screenplay, it milks the genuine skills of its actors and director for more than it deserves, and then runs off the rails in an ending more laughable than scary.

...An effective supernatural thriller, worthy of the tag 'Hitchcockian'...

Rating: C- --
If the ghost can go hunt for the villain by itself, why does it bother writing cryptic messages to strangers?

Product Description:
Robert Zemeckis takes a page right out of Hitchcock and runs with it in the spooky supernatural thriller WHAT LIES BENEATH. Dr. Norman Spencer (Harrison Ford) and his wife, Claire (Michelle Pfeiffer), seem to have the perfect life: a loving marriage, a daughter just entering college, and a beautiful home on the water in Vermont. But what lies beneath this idyllic existence are secrets that will rip everything apart.
Dr. Spencer is an award-winning scientist whose work is threatening to consume his life; meanwhile, his wife is trying to deal with empty-nest syndrome now that her beloved daughter has gone off to college. Strange things start happening around the house, and Claire starts believing that the man next door murdered his wife and that the wife is trying to contact her from beyond the grave. Dr. Spencer is worried that Claire needs psychological help; he refuses to believe that their house is haunted. But as more and more dangerous events unfold, a frightening truth threatens to destroy everything. Robert Zemeckis's modern-day ghost story trembles with threatening close-ups, a powerful musical score--and lots of terror. And it does for bathtubs what Alfred Hitchcock did for showers.
