	What Lies Beneath: Cinephiles Movie Review
		What Lies Beneath is a supernatural thriller that takes the viewer by his hesitant hand and leads him through a series of suspenseful occurrences which seem incoherent and which beg to be resolved.
		What Lies Beneath focuses on Dr. Norman Spencer (Harrison Ford), a scientist who is absorbed by his work and his success, and his wife Claire (Michelle Pfeiffer), who traded her career as a cellist for her husband and daughter.
		In order to create suspense, What Lies Beneath relies on an eerily slow camera that is too patient in revealing significant images, on the use of extended silences and sudden noises, and on typical thrill-seeking visual puns, such as the sudden double reflection in a mirror.

	Technology Review: What Lies Beneath (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Researchers who study the movement of the earth beneath the sea have had their efforts limited by the ocean's watery depths.
		With new attention on their efforts as a result of the devastation caused by the South Asian tsunami, oceanographers and seismologists caution that the ability to forecast earthquake and tsunami risk remains a distant goal.
		By tunneling thousands of meters beneath the subseafloor and filling the 10-to-30-inches-wide boreholes with measurement devices that detect motion, pressure, and temperature, researchers were able to improve the quality of the signal recorded.

	WHAT LIES BENEATH
		Beneath is a terrific popcorn thriller that plays better than The Sixth Sense and its sucker-punch ending.
		Beneath is Gregg’s debut screenplay, but he’s appeared in a myriad of films with amazing scripts (Magnolia, The Usual Suspects, The Spanish Prisoner) and was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award last year for his performance in The Adventures of Sebastian Cole.
		Beneath is the first of two potential blockbusters helmed by Zemeckis this year - Cast Away, which re-teams the director with Gump star Tom Hanks, is set to be released this Christmas.

	What Lies Beneath (2000): Harrison Ford, Michelle Pfeiffer, Diana Scarwid, Amber Valletta - PopMatters Film Review
		As a generic horror/mystery/suspense film, What Lies Beneath provides some good scares, but mostly tired plot devices and a host of Hitchcockian references that, frankly, border on fetishism (actually, fetishism is pretty Hitchcockian in its own right, but that's another story).
		Or better, what lies beneath our assumption that she is perfect, being a good mother, wife, homemaker, neighbor, and friend, as well as beautiful and talented (she went to Julliard and still plays the cello, reportedly well enough to make listeners weep).
		The scarier reality, made all too well known of late, is the violence and rage that lies beneath the guise of, if not perfection, at least normalcy.

	What Lies Beneath (2000) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		It's ironic that a movie be entitled `What Lies Beneath' when it is so shallow.
		No that the performances are bad or anything, but after a revelation in the first 50 minutes, their characters are totally and utterly irrelevant to the plot.
		Eerie, creepy and surprising, `What Lies Beneath' is flawed, but generally good.

		From then on I have been acutely aware that beneath the city we see lies another—a sunless metropolis with its own streets and piazzas, marketplaces, viaducts and vividly painted catacombs.
		During the period of Spanish rule, which began in A.D. 1503, a Neapolitan nobleman threaded yet another aqueduct through the underground in 1629, and a fourth, outfitted with pressurized tubing, was cut in the late 19th century.
		All the while, quarries beneath Naples were being excavated for tuff, the early town’s principal building material.

	What Lies Beneath. A Hollywood Jesus Visual Film Review.
		The suspense thriller What Lies Beneath is about stripping away the layers of lies to find the truth beneath a picture perfect world.
		Slowly Norman's lies are stripped away, revealing a man desperate to keep a facade of a perfect marriage and career alive.
		The reason why "What Lies Beneath" has been so successful is the Hitchcockian premise with big budget stars and a good director, in a field with no other thrillers of this sort resides.

	What Lies Beneath
		From this point of view, the lake whose placid surface serves to hide the corpus delicti that lies beneath it seems to have a function which is as much symbolic as practical.
		But what lies beneath is also substance, the translation via Latin of the Greek hypostasis, as Martin Heidegger explains in his essay on the origin of the work of art.
		Although the Spencer's are depicted as having a "normal," "healthy" sex life, at a less obvious level the film seems to be implying that what lies beneath the placid surface of their marriage--or perhaps beneath the surface of any intense relationship--is a man's desire to derive sexual gratification by doing violence to his feminine partner.

	SPLICEDwire \| "What Lies Beneath" review (2000)
		Anything but a standard teens-in-peril slasher movie, "What Lies Beneath" stars Michelle Pfeiffer as a New England mom with empty nest syndrome after packing her daughter off to college in the opening scenes.
		But even after trimming a superfluous 25 percent of screen time and tightening up the script, with Robert Zemeckis behind the wheel we'd still be stuck with the man's distracting enchantment with unnecessary computer effects (remember the gratuitous President Clinton scenes from "Contact"?).
		In "What Lies Beneath" even a simple dusting of snow becomes a over-produced CGI event, when much simpler effects would have done the trick and been far less conspicuous.

	What Lies Beneath
		Bluntly, What Lies Beneath comes across as the largest Psycho imitation in recent memory - the specter of Herrmann looms heavily over the seemingly-eternal stretches of string banality (Herrmann would never let even his most minimalistic passages degrade into this quality, however).
		Destined to appear on every new compilation from now until doomsday, this satisfying end credits suite begins with an exciting reprise of "The Getaway" and its ensuing thematic material, before delving back into the world of murky, evocative string and woodwind passages that characterized most of the score, reprising all of the main themes.
		Although What Lies Beneath's majority is comprised of pointless atmospheric string underscore, its better moments present a competent pastiche of Herrmann's Hitchcock scores, climaxing in "The Getaway," an absolutely thrilling orchestral showpiece that almost (but not quite) justifies the purchase of the album.

	"What Lies Beneath" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		While What Lies Beneath isn't a great thriller, it turns out to be a sobering picture that examines human nature, marriage, infidelity and demonic activity.
		WLB took a little too long to get going, but once it did, it held your attention, and made you want to yell at the screen to help out.
		Overall WLB was good, but could have been better if it were shorter.

		What Lies Beneath is an eerie and effective ghost story involving a perfect couple residing in a beautiful home by the lake.
		Claire thinks it has something to do with the disappearance of her neighbor, but as more revelations come into play, she soon re-evaluates her own life and maybe, just maybe, the problem is much closer to home.
		This tug-of-war isn't played out to any resolution, but it's nice to see friends who believe the heroine, rather than doubting her, which is what happens in most horror movies.

	LA Weekly - What Lies Beneath
		I was in college then, and it was rumored that somewhere beneath the UCLA campus was a cavern with a mountain of dead toilet bowls that had either been hurled there by students â” as part of some long-forgotten fraternity prank â” or decommissioned by the administration.
		In our city of false faces, it is the dream of an alternate reality lurking beneath the surface, the mother lode missed by inches, so near and yet so far.
		âBeneath the Pirates of the Caribbean ride,â says the handsome young Asian man at Guest Relations when I ask, âor under the Sleeping Beauty's Castle, are the places where people usually think he is. But Waltâs actually at Forest Lawn in Glendale.â Nearby, a kid nibbles thoughtfully at the ears of his Mickey Mouse popsicle.

		I don't really like Michelle Pfeiffer's choice of movies, but in the case of "What Lies Beneath," I have to admit that I love her in it as the completely spooked wife of Harrison Ford.
		WHAT LIES BENEATH looked like it might be that rare Hollywood commodity: a horror film geared toward a somewhat more mature audience.
		WLB is not particularly good, and while its Hitchcockiness may be in doubt, it is certainly derivative numerous other suspense and horror films.

	Sound Design of 'What Lies Beneath'
		There are a couple of musical stings to frighten the audience before it happens, but once she goes under the water, there's no music in the traditional sense.
		It's called "What Lies Beneath," and ultimately, we find out that one of the meanings that has is that this body is beneath the surface of the water.
		On "Contact" and on "What Lies Beneath," we had many discussions early on about whether a given scene was going to be driven mostly by music or by sound effects.

	What Lies Beneath by Alan Silvestri @ Cinemusic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		WHAT LIES BENEATH is a welcome return to the dark horror/thriller genre for director Robert Zemeckis.
		Thanks to 'A List' stars like Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer, WHAT LIES BENEATH gains a lot of cachet - but at heart it is truly a ghost story/chiller and true to the director's form, the film is laden with impressive (and subtle) visual effects.
		While in fact there is a huge chunk of the film that goes un-scored (and that the score is performed by a pricey, Union orchestra), including a major scene (where the film's artwork comes from) that sets the finale in motion.

	Salon.com Arts & Entertainment \| "What Lies Beneath"
		Robert Zemeckis' shamelessly manipulative supernatural (or is it psychological?) thriller "What Lies Beneath" pushes every obvious button and then fumbles around for some of the more recessed ones -- it's a beast with so many tentacles that, at times, it gets itself tangled up.
		There are times when it seems as if "What Lies Beneath" is trying to be several different movies at once, and you're not sure where it's going to settle.
		Zemeckis has fun with the movie's details (some of which are red herrings): a house slipper with a drop of blood on it, a serum that renders lab mice temporarily immobile, a locked jewel box at the bottom of a lake.
