Plot: In this supernatural thriller, a woman believes that a visitor from another dimension is trying to guide her into a sinister mystery. Feeling lonely after her daughter leaves home for college, Claire (Michelle Pfeiffer) begins to sense that something is wrong in her house, and feels a spirit is trying to contact her. At first her husband Norman (Harrison Ford), a scientist doing research in genetics, attributes her paranormal beliefs to stress or possibly a nervous breakdown, and sends her to a psychiatrist (Joe Morton) who puts no more stock in Claire's stories than does Norman. While Claire's contention that someone or something sinister is afoot leads her down a number of blind alleys, in time she becomes convinced that the mysterious happenings at her home are somehow connected to the disappearance of a woman who was a student at the nearby college -- and bore a striking resemblance to Claire. What Lies Beneath marked the debut of screenwriter Clark Gregg, whose script is based on a story by himself and Sarah Kernochan; the supporting cast includes Diana Scarwid as Claire's best friend Jody, and James Remar and Miranda Otto as a contentious couple living next door. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Two Stars Show How it is Done

Just a note to indicate that the years intervening since this film appeared have done nothing to dull the luster of this thriller nor of the two stars who, singly and together, pretty much hold the stage throughout the performance. Credit should be given to everyone concerned with the film but it is the actors we get to see. The transition from joy- to terror- filled days is done well while the twists and turns make dramatic logical sense. Recommended for anyone who takes pleasure in the suspenseful.

totally awesome horror

This is my most favorite horror film ever. It's one of the few I can watch every year or two and still jump even though I know what's coming. I am surprised the other reviews aren't even better. The photography is awesome and always interesting even after watching and rewatching. Michelle Pfeiffer is totally awesome in her acting on this one. Couldn't have fit better.

A Movie Title that could not fit better...

The title of this movie blankets over the storyline, the plot, the terrifying twist, and the climax. Brilliant!!!
I originally watched it simply for Ford and Pfeiffer, two of my favorite stars TOGETHER!!! Never in my wildest dreams did I think this movie would turn down such a dark, twisted evil path, leaving you breathless, gasping for air. Just when you think you've figured it out, another twist turns down this winding path, leaving you clamoring for more. Not until near the end, do you finally come up for air, escaping from WHAT LIES BENEATH.
A Masterpiece. Michelle Pfeiffer should have won an Oscar for this dual role she played. It left chills down my spine. What a woman!
