Norman and Claire Spencer are a seemingly happily married couple who uncover a terrible secret… a secret so disturbing it threatens to destroy them.
Acting
Pfeiffer carries mounting dread; Ford's twist reveal is deliciously smug.
Direction
Zemeckis Hitchcock-worship with elaborate oners and bathroom mirror tension.
Practical Effects
Ghost effects aged like fine wine—practical water work still unsettling.

Director
Robert Zemeckis
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Zemeckis shot this between Cast Away and What Lies Beneath's production was rushed so he could return to Tom Hanks on that deserted island.
The film was marketed as supernatural horror but functions as a stealth remake of Rear Window crossed with Gaslight, with Claire as the unreliable narrator the audience wrongly trusts.
