Le métier de réalisateur est correctement exécuté par Robert Zemeckis, mais le scénario est tellement usé par les clichés du thriller que cela en devient exaspérant ! Et le pillage musical de Silvestri sur la musique d'Herrmann de Psycho est vraiment flagrant ! Certes, Silvestri et Zemeckis ont conçu What Lies Beneath comme un hommage à Hitchcock, leur réalisateur favori, mais ils ont oublié la différence entre rendre hommage et faire une copie bon marché. C'est honteux. ()
Truly a high-quality surprise. Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer fit together amazingly, and the intimate horror genre suits them well. The transformation of both is a delightful pleasure. I still remember them as a cinema novelty. ()
This decent but overly routine thriller relies on a quality star cast led by Harrison Ford and the professional, experience-backed direction of Robert Zemeckis. It's good entertainment for one viewing, but I don't feel the need to revisit this film. In this case, I also disliked the combination of the criminal case with paranormal elements. Overall impression with narrowed eyes: 70%. ()
I saw it in the darkness of an empty cinema, and I was scared. The last time something like this happened was two years ago with Raimi's The Gift. Zemeckis is a great director who plays with the viewer like a cat with a mouse and although I don't like ghost stories, I enjoyed this likeable horror film, including the final half hour, which blew me away. Just when you expected the climax, there was another and another, and surprisingly I didn't feel like I was being set up at all. Whether it's an homage to Hitchcock, or a rip-off of Hitchcock and all that blah blah blah, I don't care. PS: Years later I watched it a second time and it didn't have the same power. But still, very good job Mr Zemeckis! ()
The most entertaining thing about Robert Zemeckis is that you never know if his next work will receive the loudest applause and enchant the viewer with perfect filmmaking or if he will embarrass himself in a genre shootout and suddenly lose the respect of his fans with a gaping flaw. A horror movie without atmosphere, with an unfinished twist ending, and several rather disturbing jump scares. Everything here is for the sake of effect, and unfortunately, completely off base. ()
