What Lies Beneath is a 2000 American supernatural thriller/horror film directed by Robert Zemeckis. It stars Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer as a well-to-do couple who experience a strange haunting that uncovers secrets about their past. The film is deliberately Hitchcockian in style. Pfeiffer's blonde female protagonist is reminiscent of former Hitchcock blondes; Grace Kelly, Kim Novak and Tippi Hedren, while Ford's duplicitous antagonist recalls Joseph Cotten in Shadow of a Doubt and Claude Rains in Notorious. Characters, plot developments and various elements pay homage to Rear Window, Vertigo, Spellbound, Rebecca and Psycho.

Plot:
Norman Spencer, a university research scientist, is growing more and more concerned about his wife, Claire, a retired concert cellist who a year ago was involved in a serious auto accident, and who has just sent off her daughter Caitlin (Norman's stepdaughter) to college. Now, Claire reports hearing voices and witnessing eerie occurrences in and around their lakeside Vermont home, including seeing the face of a young woman reflected in water. An increasingly frightened Claire thinks the phenomena have something to do with the couple living next door, especially since the wife has disappeared without apparent explanation. At her husband's urging, Claire starts to see a therapist; she tells him she thinks the house is being haunted by a ghost. His advice? Try to make contact. Enlisting the help of her best friend, Jody, and a ouija board, Claire seeks to find out the truth of What Lies Beneath.
