"What Lies Beneath" is a 2000 American psychological supernatural horror film directed by Robert Zemeckis. The movie follows the story of Claire Spencer, a former cellist, and her husband Norman, an accomplished scientist and professor, who live a quiet life at their lakeside home in Vermont. The plot revolves around Claires experiences with ghostly images and unexplained manifestations that grow in intensity, leading her to uncover a terrible secret that lies deep within her seemingly peaceful shelter. The movie received mixed reviews from critics, but it was a big box office success, nearly tripling its $100 million budget worldwide. Despite being directed by one of the most decorated filmmakers in Hollywood and starring two hall of fame-caliber A-list actors in its leading roles, the movie has oddly faded a bit from the popular consciousness in recent years.
