Review

Robert Zemeckis tries to emulate Alfred Hitchcock in this classically constructed thriller, but he only really succeeds on a technical level. What Lies Beneath has the eerie atmosphere and the big, well-delivered scares, though it lacks the intelligence and creativity in the writing department to pull you completely into its realm. Zemeckis' direction is stylish; he delivers bright, crisp images and uses time and silence for effect, resulting in a film that is refreshing in style, if not in essence.
