I just saw part of What Lies Beneath. I also saw the Hindi Version, 'Raaz' a.k.a. Secret Starring: Dino Morea, Bipasha Basu, Malini Sharma, Shruti Ulfat, Ashutosh Rana and others.

Raaz is about an unhappily married couple, Aditya (Dino Morea) and Sanjana Dhanraj (Bipasha Basu)who are on the brink of divorce. But they decide to give it one more chance by going to Ooty, where first fell in love and the dream house. But it's not a dream house. Sanjana is being haunted by a restless spirit. Aditya refuses to believe all of this. She gets help from her friend Priya (Shruti Ulfat) and a whack proffessor, Professor Agni (Ashutosh Rana).
The "Secret"
Sanjana is being haunted by Malini (Malini Sharma), Aditya's ex-lover. When Aditya tells her, she feels betrayed. She goes far away from him until she's told that the spirit of Malini is going to kill Aditya. Aditya was in the hospital. To save him, Sanjana, Priya, and Professor Agni have to burn the body. Malini's spirit has electricuted Professor Agni. Sanjana burns the body. Sanjana and Priya are glad that Aditya made it.

I would give this 4 stars.
My guessed rating of the Hindi version is rated this
PG-13 Parents Strongly Cautioned
Some Material May Be Innapropriate for Children Under 13
Horror/Violence, Language, and Sensuality.

Hollywood films aren't the only was that contain sensuality.
DO NOT WATCH THIS UNLESS SOMEBODY ELSE IS WITH YOU!! ENGLISH OR HINDI!!

I ordered What Lies Beneath on DVD. It arrived in about a week and in perfect condition. I was impressed with the price because if I ordered it from my local dvd store, it would cost a lot more. This is a very good, suspensful movie and I would highly recommend it.

this is a well constructed thriller.it's taut and economical with some
good scares.the story is original(at least i thought it was)and there
are some good twists.The movie stars Harrison Ford,who is serviceable
in his role.however,it's Michelle Pfeiffer who is the better performer
in this movie.she really digs deep for this one.there is a good cast of
supporting actors as well.if you like old fashioned,intelligent
thrillers you should check this out.so-so acting from Ford aside,the
movie succeeds because of it's supporting characters and also it's
engaging intelligent storyline.it is done well enough that the story
takes centre stage.for me,What Lies Beneath gets a 4.5/5.

i was focused on this movie the whole time, and i'm the type of person wondering when it's going to be over. i was litterallyon the edge of my seat for some of the parts. if you like scary movies, you should see this one. it was great.

this is a good horror movie, but i don't know if it would still be suspensful the 2nd time around. (i only like em super scary.) ya. that's it.

Saw this last night for the first time. I was literally on the edge of my seat through the entire second half of the movie. Even though the trailers (regrettably) give much away, this movie shows us Hitchcock isn't the only master of suspense...you don't know if Pfieffer is crazy or onto something...I hate horror movies, but I'd recommend this to anyone.

Michelle Pfeifer plays Claire Spencer, a housewife with the perfect house, the perfect husband, the perfect daughter, and the perfect life. Her daughter, Caitlain, is sent off to college. It is now just Claire and her husband, Dr. Norman Spencer (played by Harrison Ford). They find out that they have new neighbors, a married couple named the Fures. After a while, Claire no longer knows where Mrs. Fure is. She begins to suspect the Mr. Fure had killed her. At the same time, Claire begins seeing the ghost of a beautiful young woman, who looks like Claire with the exception of green eyes, appearing in the Spencers' bathroom. Claire begins to suspect it is Mrs. Fure, but later finds out that Mrs. Fure is alive and doing okay with her marriage. She then finds out the ghost is of the young woman who goes by the name Madison Frank, who was believed to be missing. One by one, Claire starts to put together a deadly secret about Norman, beginning with Claire's car accident that happened the year before. Could it be possible that Norman killed Madison? The movie was a tragic and Michelle couldn't believe that it was her husband that had killed Madison; she been dreaming to the ocean then one day she had eveidently enough of her dreams of imaginary so she decide to go and reveal the truth...but no one would believe her nor her doctor because she had has a mental issue before; but she had constantly told her husband and the doctor that it seems true her dream her emotion.....etc. but she had question her husband about that but; "Why is he acting this way?"
So at the end of the movie she had notice that it was her huband that murder Madison at first she thought it was her neighbor because she would hear noise and her suspicions. Her supicions was right but it weren't the neighbor it was her husband!

Prepare yourself as this spellbinding, edge-of-your-seat thriller takes you to hell and back.

Watch this and find out WHAT LIES BENEATH.

What Lies Beneath almost satisfies. It comes close to being a good suspense thriller .... it just doesn't get there.

Michelle Pfeiffer plays an empty nester re-married to an overworked Scientist - played by Harrison Ford. They move to a large mansion set amongst secluded land with a lake at the bottom of the garden. Their only neighbours are a seemingly odd couple who help the story get moving. Michelle has much spare time on her hands, and at first, is convinced she is hearing noises and seeing things. Husband, of course, is not convinced. To give the whole story away would be unfair, so I will stop here.

I cannot fault the performances of Pfeiffer and Harrison. I can, however, fault the storyline for copying ideas from other films and just getting too ridiculous for its own good, in parts.

It will not go down as great cinema history, but at least shows Pfeiffer and Harrison in unusual roles - certainly different from any other parts they have played.

This review may not be that helpful, but I thought this was a very superior thriller and most people have already seen it anyway so I won't really go into the plot. I wanted to say I was very happy to see Diana Scarwid again. She's been one of my favorites since "Mommie Dearest". When I saw this in the theater, I immediately jumped up and said "hey, I remember her!".
