Edvard Grieg - What Price Immortality ? (Wide Screen)

Advantages: Very tense thriller, good female lead, nice spooky effects
Disadvantages: Too long, Harrison Ford takes a while to warm up (it happens to us all...)!

...’ married couple with regual names (Norman & Claire) and regular lives. They kid around, "people watch" and pat themselves on the back quite readily after packing their daughter off to college. Okay, they’re not perfect, or else this movie might not exist. Their boat-house seems like the perfect haunt, but insert ghost pun here and run with it. Things go bump in the night – and day - and our Michelle starts to get worried. Harrison fears for her sanity until things come to light, which threaten to make him believe – but at what price? * * * * * Of course, the trick with all this genre hopping is effectively making the switch. Peter Jackson managed it, going from the uber-gore of Braindead to the beauty and surrealism of Heavenly Creatures with disturbing ease. Stanley Kubrick did sci-fi, war, eroticism... Read review

It was a special 2 new releases for 2 nights for £5 – not bad!! I choose What Lies Beneath. Why – l don’t know – Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer are actors of a certain stature and do not usually make bad movies l suppose.
