The deepest meaning will not be revealed until this thriller's eerily satisfying climax.
Bob Graham, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten
As it approaches the two-hour mark, the picture abandons all attempts at credibility and turns itself into a near-parody of the kinds of horror films Scream and Scary Movie have already mocked to death.
John Hartl, Seattle Times
Fresh
What Lies Beneath is simply an affectionate, tongue-in-cheek tribute to movie trickery.
Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter
Fresh
Some good scares and thrills in a generally entertaining package.
