| Movie 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.

In preparing for the movie, director Robert Zemeckis recounted saying to his special effects supervisor, Rob Legato, "Imagine, what would Alfred Hitchcock do if he had computer graphics?" Robert Zemeckis won a Student Academy Award in 1973 for FIELD OF HONOR, which he made while at USC film school. Zemeckis started making films when he was in the eighth grade. Both the Spencer house and the Feur house, as well as the dock, were built especially for the film. The original idea for the film--about a couple visited by a student ghost--came from Steven Spielberg.

Report this review What Lies BeneathReview created: 07/03/08 by: I must say that this is one of my favorites. The writing and direction is witty and smart, and even sexy (especially if you're into an older, Michelle Pfifer type). The ending is the best part, and unexpected, and makes this a movie you can watch more than once and enjoy it. Gore isn't needed to make this scary movie a thrilling watch. Good pick. Review ID: 10000000007800735 Was this review helpful? Report this review Good and scaryThis is a good, scary movie. The acting is excellent and it is a real spine tingler. Too scary for little kids so not really a whole family show. But okay for teenager and adults. Review ID: 10000000004299035 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
