Ranking: 20 Highest Grossing Horror Movies Of All Time

17. What Lies Beneath

What Lies Beneath Harrison Ford
20th Century Fox

Box Office: $291.4 million (#12)

Director Robert Zemeckis and an incredibly game Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer do their absolute best to elevate Clark Gregg's cliche-riddled supernatural horror (yes, Agent Coulson really wrote this), though they're only mildly successful in a middling Hitchcock homage that, like many of Zemeckis' movies, is far too long for its own good.

There are some goofy-fun surprises to be had (if you didn't see the spoilerific marketing before watching the film, anyway), and it fully embraces its B-movie style, even if the various tones smash together without really complimenting one another at all.

A dumb but passable Sunday afternoon thriller, with a ho-hum script that isn't remotely deserving of such great talent behind and in front of the camera.
