Review of What Lies Beneath (2000) by Kevin R — 10 Mar 2015

It's her.

A college professor and his wife live in a beautiful lake house. The wife's daughter, husband's stepdaughter, has recently left for college leaving the mom feeling more alone than usual. The mother starts seeing strange things around the house and initially believes that it is just a case of the mother struggling to deal with her daughter leaving; unfortunately, the strange events are a lot more super natural than the family would anticipate.

"Think we can take them?".

"It's worth a try.".

Robert Zemeckis, director of Forest Gump, Cast Away, Back to the Future 1-3, Monster House, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Contact, and Romancing the Stone, delivers What Lies Beneath. The storyline for this picture is kind of bland, unimaginative, and fairly average. The acting was also slightly disappointing as the cast includes Harrison Ford, Michelle Pfieffer, James Remar, Diana Scarwid, and Amber Valletta.

"Can you check in on my wife? She's hearing voices.".

I had never seen this picture but had also never heard anything great about it. I came across this on HBOGO and decided to finally give it a viewing; unfortunately, this was a very average addition to the horror genre. I didn't find anything in this too dramatic, intense, or scary. I would call this a below average thriller that is not a must see.

"My marriage is fine.".

Grade: C-.
