DVD Reviews of What Lies Beneath
DVD Review: A great thriller
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to begin by saying that this is one of my all time favorite movies. You are a Hitchcock fan then you will love this movie. It has the same feel of a Hitchcock movie but with modern technology. The acting is wonderful and no matter how many times I watch it I always find something I didn't notice before. It's an excellent film and will make an excellent addition to anyone's film collection. DVD Review: What Lies Beneath
Summary: 5 Stars
I had watched this movie many times before purchasing this copy! I wanted my own copy in order to watch it many times more without having to rent. The copy sent to me was in excellent condition and I have watched it twice since receiving it. I always jump in the scary scenes, even though I know what is going to happen!DVD Review: Creepy
Summary: 4 Stars
This is one of the better movies made recently in this genre. It's more of a supernatural-suspense movie than horror. Michele Pfeifer is great as the empty-nested mother who becomes spooked by strange occurences. Is something happening to her or is she going crazy? Either one is an option. It was a good movie with a rather surprise ending. If your looking for something gory or something to jump out at you this isn't the movie for you. Rather it is a very well made, well acted atmospheric movie.DVD Review: There is a ghost in her house
Summary: 3 Stars
It is rats in the attic or termites in the timbers ( bats in the bell free
or bugs in your hat?), but never, never real spirits? Seeing the head doctor
and fighting off the men in white coats, people believe in their lonesome fantasy of dead people walking? Is it the neighbor's dead wife or something more sinister? It seems to be a plum role for Michelle Pfeiffer?
Harrison Ford is kind of the straight man to the bent housewife
with delusions that aren't...MEF and possession.
From there things go from bad to worse.
Well made, well acted, just not the kind of movie I like.
I've watched it twice to make this review.
DVD Review: great for sleepovers
Summary: 4 Stars
The same thrills and chills you get when you're alone and you thought you heard something and you're getting scared then all of a sudden the cat, dog or someone startles you from behind, then after getting your wits scared out of you, you feel silly but kinda of enjoyed it anyway. This is that movie. It's fun and harmless and kids specially girls under the age of 15 enjoy watching it with their friends because its innocent fun. Michelle Pfiffer(I didn't realized how many f's shes got in her surname) is convincingly terrified specially after she started to suspect her husband Norman might be capable of the ultimate human crime. Everyone will root for her all the while hating the Harrison Ford character and cheering each blow to his face as Claire tries to get away. If you like the suspense that Hitchook builds on, this movie is definetely for you, but there are no DVD extras which is always why I drop a star no matter how good the movie is. That's part of the fun of buying/owning the DVD in the first place.
Description of What Lies Beneath
He was the perfect husband until his one mistake followed them home.A year ago Dr. Norman Spencer (Harrison Ford) betrayed his beautiful wife Claire (Michelle Pfeiffer). But the affair is over and Claire s oblivious to the truth; Norman s life and marriage seem perfect - so perfect that when Claire tells him she s hearing mysterious voices and seeing a young woman s wraithlike image in their home he dismisses her mounting terror as delusion. However as Claire moves closer to the truth it becomes clear that this apparition will not be dismissed and has come back for Dr. Norman Spencer...and his beautiful wife.System Requirements:Starring: Harrison Ford Eliott Goretsky Ray Baker Wendy Crewson Michelle Pfeiffer Diana Scarwid Joe Morton James Remar Miranda Otto Amber Valletta Katharine Towne and Victoria Bidewell. Directed By: Robert Zemeckis. Running Time: 130 Min. Color. This film is presented in "Widescreen" format. Copyright 2001 Universal Distribution Corp.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DRAMA Rating:?PG-13 UPC:?667068640625 Manufacturer No:?86406A good old-fashioned thriller that wears its Alfred Hitchcock pedigree proudly on its sleeve, What Lies Beneath stars Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer as picture-perfect married couple Norman and Claire Spencer, who seem happy and content with a fabulous house, college-age daughter and still-active libidos. When said daughter heads off to college, Claire starts obsessing about her new neighbors, and becomes convinced that the moody husband killed the neurotic wife, and that the wife's ghost has a desperately important message for her. Yes, it's true, there is a ghost, and there is a message, but it has decidedly more personal--and life-threatening--implications for Claire and Norman. Suddenly, that car crash last year that Claire can barely remember and the circumstances surrounding it start falling into place, and Claire begins to realize Norman may have a secret.
Director Robert Zemeckis loads the first half of What Lies Beneath with humorous cheap thrills (the suddenly ringing phone, etc.) that poke fun at Claire's dilemma while simultaneously making you tense beyond belief. Between each goofy thrill, though, is one true one that will make you jump out of your seat, including a bathtub that keeps filling itself. And all the while, Zemeckis subtly telegraphs the fissures in the Spencers' marriage, slowly revealing that all is not well between these two. Yes, it's a blatant Hitchcock homage to movies such as Rear Window and Suspicion, but it's sleekly made, entertaining and engrossing. Ford does his stoic thing well (and looks great doing it), and Diana Scarwid provides a refreshingly lighthearted turn as Claire's best pal, but it's pretty much Pfeiffer's movie all the way, and she carries the film on her not-so-fragile shoulders. And the third act is a suspense tour de force, complete with a breathtaking sequence featuring Pfeiffer and that menacing bathtub. In a time of obvious horror films, What Lies Beneath is an intelligent, fun thrill ride that will leave you breathless. --Mark Englehart
