Dr Norman Spencer (Harrison Ford) i jego piękna żona przenoszą się do malowniczego domu nad jeziorem. Gdy ich córka Caitlin wyjeżdża na studia, Claire czuje się samotna. Zaczyna wyczuwać w domu obecność obcej osoby - słyszy tajemnicze szepty, a w lustrze widzi twarz młodej kobiety. Zwierza się ze swoich obaw pracującemu całymi dniami mężowi, który jednak lekceważy jej słowa i sugeruje, by zgłosiła się psychoanalityka. Claire nie daje za wygraną i zdeterminowana postanawia poznać prawdę. Odkrywa, że przed rokiem Norman miał przelotny romans ze swoją studentką, która znika w niewyjaśnionych okolicznościach. Claire dochodzi do wniosku, że w domu pojawił się szukający zemsty duch... Prawda jednak jest jeszcze bardziej przerażająca. (Imperial Cinepix)

The most entertaining thing about Zemeckis is that you never know if his next work will receive the loudest applause and enchant the viewer with perfect filmmaking or if he will embarrass himself in a genre shootout and suddenly lose the respect of his fans with a gaping flaw. A horror without atmosphere, with an unfinished twist ending and several rather disturbing jump scares. Everything here is for the sake of effect, and unfortunately, completely out of place.

Truly a high-quality surprise. Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer fit together amazingly, and the intimate horror genre suits them well. The transformation of both is a delightful pleasure. I still remember them as a cinema novelty.

Robert Zemeckis’s directing is decent, but the screenwriting is so hackneyed and riddled with thriller clichés that it’s mind-numbing! And Silvestri’s rip-off of Herrmann’s music from Psycho is like a fist to the face! Though Silvestri and Zemeckis intended What Lies Beneath to be an homage to the beloved Hitchcock, they forgot the difference between paying tribute and cheap imitation. Shame on them.

I saw it in the darkness of an empty cinema, and I was scared. The last time something like this happened was two years ago with Raimi's The Gift. Zemeckis is a great director who plays with the viewer like a cat with a mouse and although I don't like ghost stories, I enjoyed this likeable horror film, including the final half hour, which blew me away. Just when you expected the climax, there was another and another, and surprisingly I didn't feel like I was being set up at all. Whether it's an homage to Hitchcock, or a rip-off of Hitchcock and all that blah blah blah, I don't care. PS: Years later I watched it a second time and it didn't have the same power. But still, very good job Mr Zemeckis!

This decent but overly routine thriller relies on a quality star cast led by Harrison Ford and the professional, experience-backed direction of Robert Zemeckis. It's good entertainment for one viewing, but I don't feel the need to revisit this film. In this case, I also disliked the combination of the criminal case with paranormal elements. Overall impression with narrowed eyes: 70%.
