What Lies Beneath is a spooky story about a couple who seem to have the perfect life. Harrison Ford plays Dr Norman Spencer who seems happily married to Michelle Pfeiffer(Claire). They have a beautiful house in a beautiful location. Norman has a very good job. Their daughter leaves home to goto to college. Claire starts to hear and see things that will not go away. She is lead down a path to the truth of what really lies beneath.


This film has a wonderful plot that keeps you hooked all the way through. Loads of action and surprises and the music and filming is really spot on. It has a kind of floaty feeling and takes you on one hell of a great ride. I was on the edge of my seat the entire film. Another thing I like is you cannot guess what is going to happen next like so many other films. Well worth adding this to your collection if you enjoy a film with a supernatural storyline with plenty of action and jumps

5/5 from me!

I have owned this dvd What Lies Beneath for about 4 years. The reason I bought it was because I first saw this amazing film at the cinema. This film is 124 minutes of pure nail biting action. The dvd has superb 5.1 surround sound and fantastic picture quality. The extra features on the dvd are very good too. You can watch the film with audio commentary by Director Robert Zemecks. The featurette about making this film is also interesting to watch. Also cast and crew info and orig theatrical trailer.

This is something like an Alfred Hitchcock/Alien movie in the sense that it keeps you on the edge of your seat waiting for the boogyman to jump out. I bought it because I'm a fan of Harrison Ford and had not heard of this film before.

Review created: 01/05/08

This is a good story with two strong leading actors and a really good story line. It is not easy to predict how it will end and is full of suspense and intrigue. The film is the right length and not too over indulgent. The story picks up pace quite quickly and is one of the best films I have seen in a long time.
