What Lies Beneath Cert 15

Michelle Pfeiffer and Harrison Ford are one of Vermont's golden couples. She's a former cellist, he's a university professor researching genetics, they've just renovated a derelict property and their daughter Caitlin is leaving home for college.
So far, so good, except Claire (Michelle Pfeiffer), who incidentally is recovering from a car crash, starts to have a bit of trouble with her bathroom.
Since the house has just been newly renovated your first thought might be to call out a plumber but the problems Claire's experiencing aren't exactly solvable by a monkey wrench and a piece of copper tubing. For a start, the bath keeps filling up on its own, there's a strange reflection in the water and then someone or something keeps writing on the bathroom mirror.
Well, understandably, Claire starts to feel a bit freaked out  but her husband Norman (Harrison Ford) is far too preoccupied with an up-coming seminar to help his unnerved wife. So in desperation she turns to a psychiatrist for help.
Things though just keep on getting worse for poor old Claire, she becomes convinced the next door neighbour has murdered his wife, the front door keeps unlocking at will and now the computer seems to have a life of its own. Something very strange seems to be happening in beautiful Vermont.
As ghost stories go, however, `What Lies Beneath' falls more into the category of your `Sixth Sense' psychological thriller than, say, a Freddie, Nightmare on Elm Street, slash and gore fest and although the beginning tends to drag along a bit the second half of the film scores a massive nine and a half on the Scare-ometer.
Full of spooky music, atmospheric tension and riveting acting by both Michelle Pfeiffer and Harrison Ford, `What Lies Beneath' is a tour de force for director Robert Zemeckis as he skilfully weaves a tale of the paranormal interlaced with deceit, lies and murder.
A tale that leaves you with a racing heart, white knuckles and a morbid fear of ever going to the bathroom again.
