What Lies Beneath

Starring: Michelle Pfeiffer, Harrison Ford

Directed by: Robert Zemeckis

RS: Not Rated

2000 Thriller

What Lies Beneath, the scare-fest from director Robert Zemeckis, is now officially the chick-flick hit of the season. Women like seeing a strong actress, Michelle Pfeiffer, in a juicy role that puts craggy co-star Harrison Ford in the shadows. But the scares are Hitchcock hand-me-downs, and you fear that women are responding because there's no alternative except . . .
