  Brilliant!!!
  
  An unmistakeable Zemekis production with a touch of Hitcock. We have seen him draw us in with Back to the Future and Forest Gump. Creating a reality where ... read more »

  what lies beneath is actually quite shallow
  
  Harrison Ford meanders through this film practising his Indie face. Michelle Pfieffer has seen better days and done better things. Hitchcock rests easily on ... read more »

  Nice movie!
  
  This is a real nice movie..not very horror...if you watch hindi movies, then 'Raaz' (Bipasha Basu and Dino Morea)is a 70% copy of this movie!

  A very good horror thriller
  
  This film has more spine chilling shock and clever twists remind me of 1970's hitchcock thrillers, well worth it
