What Lies Beneath (2000) 7/10

Starring : Harrison Ford, Michelle Pfeiffer, Diana Scarwid, Joe Morton, James Remar, Miranda Otto
Director : Robert Zemeckis
Running Time : 125 mins

Claire Spencer (Pfeiffer) starts to think that her home may be haunted, and begins to suspect that it has something to do with her neighbours and that the ghost may be her neighbours missing wife. Her husband Norman (Ford), a research scientist, suggests that Claire see a therapist, a decision that leads her to try and make contact with the spirit to find out what they want.

Although very well directed, this movie was too long and quite slow paced. The pacing does however give the movie a nice sense of foreboding which draws us into the story line and gives very few hints as to the true outcome of the movie. Worth checking out, although not the best of Zemeckis’s work by a long shot.
