The second movie review for today comes from Kate of I Just Wanna Sit Here and Read. Kate enjoys reading YA fiction and adult paranormal/fantasy, chick-lit, and contemporary fiction. Today Kate is writing about the movie that scares her the most, What Lies Beneath.
Thanks to Jenn for letting me be a part of her Fright Fest. I am here today to talk about a movie that scares the dickens out of me even years after its release. The movie What Lies Beneath directed by Robert Zemeckis, starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Harrison Ford.
I saw this movie in the theaters when it came out in 2001 and I have never been back to the movies for a horror film since. I literally screamed at every scary scene to the point that others in the theater were waiting for my response and laughing when I did end up screaming. My heart was thumping the whole time and I could not wait for the movie to conclude.
Besides being absolutely terrified, I liked the movie, believe it or not. It was perfectly suspenseful and actually a good story. The story surrounded a research assistant’s (Ford) wife (Pfeiffer) who was a retired cellist. Pfeiffer’s character was convinced she was hearing voices and seeing strange things at their home. Her husband tells her to try and make contact and she enlists her friend to find out what is occurring at her home. The results are frightening.
The combination of director, actors, and fantastically written script make this movie horrifyingly frightening and wickedly awesome at the same time. If you have not seen it, I recommend it, and you might want to keep the lights on while doing so.
