Has anybody else seen this. With Michelle Pfieffer & Harrison Ford.

Got it out and the tag line was

"The scariest Film you will see this year"

lol, I agree, only if you don't watch other films. Still though there were a few parts that made you jump, overall a decent movie.
 
Re:What Lies Beneath.

What was this film about? With those two leads you'd expect something quality, but I haven't actually heard of this film. Part-time cultural recluse, you see...
 
What Lies Beneath - spoilers!!

******* WARNING! - Spoilers! ******


Ended up inadvertently watching a little of this last night - but then the film paused for the news to come on, and I was too tired to stay up to watch the film conclude later.

I saw up to where Michelle Pfieffer had become "possessed" and then knocked out of it, realising that Harrison Ford had actually had an affair with the girl before she died - and that the seat for all her anxieties had originated in a repressed memory of seeing them both "at it" via a mirror in their house.

But...what happened next? Was there anything in the film left to play?

Pretty surprised to see Harrison Ford in what seems an otherwise a pretty weak role.

And if anyone's familiar with the film - Pfieffer originally accuses the neighbour of killing his wife, but then she turns up - and it's the woman who played Eowyn from LOTR. :)

Oh, that's one of the most infuriating flims I've ever seen. What were Pfeiffer and Ford doing mucking about with weak charecters and a paper-thin plot like this?


***Spoiler***

In answer to your question, Brian, the husband also killed that girl, and tries killing his wife too. Naturally he fails. :rolleyes:


***Spoiler over***
 
Re: What Lies Beneath - spoilers!!

I'm a huge Pfeiffer and Ford fan (say that three times quickly!) but I agree that this wasn't up to their usual standards. I did enjoy, like LittleMiss, the evil side of Ford. Normally he's in such heroic, god-like roles that it was a shock, but despite the poor script and weak plot, I can see him doing evil really well. Pfeiffer just seemed as if she was sleepwalking through the whole thing. Anyway, not a horrible movie but not a good one either.

I din't watch it last night, as I've seen it before and didn't feel any particular need to see it again :confused: So yeah... I agree, it was nice to see Ford in a villian role for a change, though Pfeiffer wasn't up to her usual standard :(


BTW Brian, I did notice the neighbour was Eowyn ;)
