      Portland Oregonian

      As it unwinds, What Lies becomes both masterful and preposterous.

      San Francisco Chronicle

      Goes Hitchcock one better by imagining what it would be like if the master had the advantage of digital technology.

      New York Post

      If you're able to check your brain at the popcorn stand, you'll stand a much better chance of enjoying this crowd pleaser.

      San Francisco Examiner

      Regardless of how cheated out of a full-bodied motion picture you feel, you're still left with the year's sickest bathroom humor.

      TV Guide Magazine

      This slow, derivative chiller (which lifts liberally from "Ghost Story," "Rear Window" and "A Stir of Echoes") wastes far too much time on red herrings and telegraphs its plot points with painfully obvious dialogue.

      Boston Globe

      Ford and Pfeiffer deliver craftsmanlike work, but the film steadily unravels as Zemeckis tries to ratchet up the suspense.
    • 50

      Charlotte Observer

      A picture sufficiently shallow that you'll discover everything that lies beneath it well before the end.

      Chicago Sun-Times

      Lacking a smarter screenplay, it milks the genuine skills of its actors and director for more than it deserves, and then runs off the rails in an ending more laughable than scary.
