What Lies Beneath Reviews
Michelle Pfeiffer in a ghost story about a woman taking back her own power? I love this movie. Very good flick.
Great movie! I enjoy it till the begining to end
A very cool horror movie with good acting and a great ending!
Um filme de terror sobrenatural, assistido em casa, durante o dia, sozinha, na 온라인카지노추천 nas alturas, e me deu um baita susto, quando a trilha sonora do nada triplica e nos pega despercebido, credo, que medo, gostei, o filme em si traz um terror leve, as circunstâncias ao assistir que podem atenuá-lo ou maximizá-los... Michelle belíssima e com química perfeita com Ford canastrão, um clima de suspense, aquele plot twist não tão surpreendente, mas tudo muito agradável, entretém e encanta…
2 brilliant performances by Michelle and Harrison. This is a underrated mystery thriller. Tim Treakle
I enjoyed this scary, fun, horror/ghost story. Very underrated. Has a very Hitchcock vibe to it from the music to the cinematography to the nods to movies like Rear Window and Vertigo. Michelle Pfeiffer leads a standout performance among a great cast. Without giving anything away, the casting, particularly for one character, really helps sell the most shocking twist in the whole film.
The best movie i've ever seen.
Smart thriller with two superb actors in the lead. great entertainment. Not to be missed.
overrated, slow, and not worth your time
its pretty generic but still entertaining
This is such an underrated movie! The thriller/suspense & unexpected turns are riveting. Definitely worth the watch.
It's surprising to me to see this with such low reviews. It's a solid psychosexual thriller. It's basically Zemeckis doing Hitchcock. He's not knocking it out of the park, but he's doing it well enough. Pfeiffer also kills in it.
Michelle Pfeiffer gave it her all in this film it can be felt and seen and almost every scene. This film should be dubbed queen of all thrillers!
Watching this in 2024 its a reminder of a time when a movie was written by adults, directed by adults and acted with adults with only a story to tell. You may or not appreciate the plot (I did) but this is story telling like a movie is supposed to be. Refreshing.
Some kind of predictable from the halfway point more or less... Also, Harrison Ford is not that type of bad guy; not the role for him
How did everyone miss the GLARING PLOT HOLE? The ghost in the story can play computer card games, can knock over pictures, and can move a ouija board planchette... why didn't the ghost just write a message on the computer to Pfeiffer's character and tell her how her husband murdered her and where she was buried? Story over, Harrison Ford goes straight to jail, an hour and a half saved from watching this.
In general besides the turn it takes into a ghost story instead of something like Rear Window/Disturbia, the majority of suspense scenes are exactly what you think they are and nothing more. This results in pretty much everything being just fundamentally ok about it which is more than I thought it would be because the first 40 minutes or so really isn't that good. It meanders at points but especially during the first half where it really feels like stuff just happens as she tries to figure out if her neighbor was murdered Hitchcock style and it really ends up going nowhere and is a BIG waste of time because man this feels like a long movie. IT does get better when it takes a ghost story twist and gets bit more creepy and interesting but it throws all that away for a action /lifetime movie of the month style ending. It really never does that good a job mixing the murder and supernatural stuff together overall. Especially the opening 40 minutes feels like a big waste and could've been cut completely. This is also LOADED with pointless jumpscares. The direction technical wise is actually pretty solid and the setting is memorable but it's weighed down by gimmicks like the jumpscares and a poor pacing at the end which is critical for a thriller. The ending never ramps up and instead just stays pretty consistent with the slow burn the entire way. It needed to speed up, build tension, or both and it never did. Pfeiffer is the best thing in this and overall isn't bad and quite good in a lot of scenes. She does some dumb stuff at the end getting the phone and stuff though. Ford is ok also. Unless your a big Pfeiffer fan most people should skip this.
So, I'm biased because I love Harrison Ford. He's Indiana Jones however it was pretty exciting and terrifying seeing him as the villain. I think one of the things I wasn't too fond of was that Norman hears from Claire sooo many times that terrifying and unexplainable things are happening in their house multiple times and the ONLY time he believes her is when he discovers the lock of hair that Claire jumped into the lake to get. The way he was condescending towards her about all the supernatural stuff, saying how "Claire, you were in an accident last year, it's understandable that you're scared again but there's nothing to be afraid of". When clearly, there was. Other that that, I really enjoyed the film. My first Michelle Pfeiffer film.
One of the scariest movies I've ever watched. Great acting and plot with many surprising twists and turns. Highly recommend this one if you like psychological thrillers.
What Lies Beneath has a lot of jump scares. In fact, it may have too many. However, I have to admit that they work. Many of them still make me jump each time I watch it. This is an old-fashioned Hitchcockian suspense thriller with a supernatural twist. You wouldn't expect a horror film about empty nesters being so intense, but Michelle Pfeiffer is giving her role everything she's got, and Harrison Ford's performance is enjoyably unexpected. Yes, there are plenty of ways you could pick the plot apart, and the visual effects look a little dated now, but this is an eerie & effective PG-13 horror film.
