What Lies Beneath

One movie I know I love but can never remember the specific details from the movie is What Lies Beneath. The movie opened in July of 2000 making it over eight years old but still one of the movies I could watch over and over again. The film stars Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer. Both actors have been in several movies but this one taps into Michelle Pfeiffer’s rather dark side. Her eyes I’ve noticed give her the ability to be very suspenseful. Movies.com lists the movie in several genres: Haunted House film, Supernatural Thriller, and thriller.

What Lies Beneath follows a family of Dr. Normal Spencer, played by Harrison Ford, and his wife Claire Spencer, played by Michelle Pfeiffer. A year ago Claire was in a horrible car accident where she hit a tree going eighty. Though it is said to have looked like she deliberately drove her car into the tree she could think of no reason why this would be. After living in their new home for over a year its time for their daughter to move to college; everyone is worried about Claire’s psyche as her daughter leaves because they have always been so close. Within days she is seeing things and convinced that their house is haunted but Norman doesn’t believe her escapades. As they become more frequent he beings to believe her. Little does she know that he might have something to do with the spirits lingering in the house. As the movie plays out we being to see what who may be haunting Claire and trying to exert their revenge on Norman after a year of his secret keeping.
