This movie wasn't that bad. I think I was in the mood for some formulaic hollywood horror, and this film definitely met that expectation. All the forms and conventions you would expect from this kind of film was present. Eerie music, off-kiltered woman, suspicious man, and obvious story plot, that you can figure out within the first 20 minutes. If all this seems redundant, and pointless to you, I am not forcing you to continue to read this, and maybe this movie isn't for you.
If I still have a bit of your attention, I'll continue. Directed by Robert Zemeckis, who I've lately been giving credit to as a director who can make financially, and audience friendly films, while keeping a bit of quality in the work. Back to the Future, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, are by no means artistic masterpieces, but they are awesome to watch.
What Lies Beneath is definitely not in the same category as these films. Watching it I actually felt like it was a very strong homage to classic Hitchcock. A lot of the shots look like they were directly pulled from Psycho, Rear Window, and Vertigo. If anything it was cool to see him paying tribute to some amazing films.
So maybe this movie is worth checking out for you. It's just not an any day occasion film.
