10 star movie until the very end.

This was a very good movie that had some brilliant acting and a very creative story. Michelle Pfieffer, Harrison Ford, Diana Scarwid, and some of the others were fantastic. I especially liked Diana Scarwid's character of Jody. She was very enlightening. Obviously for a mega budget film, it was great, usually films that have tons and tons of money behind it, lack heart and soul, but not this one. I would have given this a ten, but the very end was just too much, the part after Ford and Pfieffer are in the lake submerged in the truck as they are sinking. I don't wanna mention too much and give anything away. I just wish it would have ended a little different, but, oh well, this is still a great movie. One of the things that I truly appreciated was that it was very easy to follow and everything was coming together as to what was going and who this mysterious entity was and why she was there haunting Pfieffer's character. I find it a little surprising that the user rating for this movie is about 6.5, and movies like Die Hard 4 are at an 8 or so. Die Hard 4 is a perfect example of a movie with no heart and soul that just has explosions and Million Dollar Special FX and that that alone is supposed to make it a good movie. I DO NOT think so. Back to What Lies Beneath, Zemeckis did a great job with this and I really had a good time watching this.
