What Lies Beneath (2000)

Corrected entry: At the end of the movie Harrison Ford gives Michelle Pfeiffer a drug that supposedly paralyzes all of your voluntary muscles, that way she will not be able to move, but she will be fully conscious as she slowly drowns in the bathtub. The drug he gives her, Halothane, does not do this, however; it is merely an anaesthetic. Furthermore, any drug that does paralyze your voluntary muscles, inevitably also paralyzes your respiratory system, and you suffocate, you don't just remain immobile until it wears off, like the movie leads you to believe.

Correction: Although it is true a drug that paralyzes your voluntary muscles also paralyzes your respiratory system , this is however given a big enough doseage. You can always paralyze someones voluntary muscles without affecting respiratory system, these type of drugs are in use all the time at vet clinics.

Correction: Halothane is a hepatotoxic anesthetic gas and most certainly would not paralyze her.
