"What Lies Beneath" Zemeckis Borrows Hitchcocks Soul and Vision For 130 Minutes.

Robert Zemeckis delivers an homage to Alfred Hitchcock that hits all the right spots. He does not kill a classic like Gus Van Sant did with "Psycho" or Christopher Reeve and "Rear Window". He takes pieces of Hitch's films and puts them together. He uses parts of "Rear Window", the music of "Psycho" and the camera angles of many of the master of suspense's film.

Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer play a married couple who have some things hidden in their past. That is about all I can say about the plot because I do not want to give anything away. Every scene is shot to maximum spookiness. It is an uncomfortable film to watch because you are on the edge of your seat waiting for the next scream to come along. Believe me the screams come fast and furious and then unexpected. There are some truly chilling moments and at some points during the film the audience I was with was dead silent with anxiety.

The movie plays it to the hilt as well and the crowd also went through phases of nervous laughter. This will be a movie that you will really like while you are in the theater. The performances are strong and Pfeiffer's eyes steal the show. She says so much with just a look. If you are tired of tasteless comedies, comic book films or long dramas then this is the film for you. Just remember what you see is not always what you get.
