Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Filipe Neto This film tells the story of a psychiatrist who has to help his young daughter to overcome her mother's death while, at the same time, he makes his own mourning. But the child starts talking about an invisible friend who seems increasingly violent and cruel. Robert De Niro takes the lead role and, contrary to many people's thoughts, I don't think he's too old for such roles. He has acted in a restrained and sweet manner, tempered with psychological depth, which shows us De Niro's versatility and his suitability for a wide range of characters, not just the tough mafia bosses who have made him famous. Dakota Fanning was very well too, far from the absolutely annoying performance she'd given us in "War of Worlds" (in which she just screamed constantly as she was dragged across the set). The suspense is built gradually, convincingly and pleasantly. I noticed that some parts are very easy to anticipate and, from a certain point, it doesn't invest in the thickening of the plot, but besides these defects, its a film that fulfills what promises and entertains the public quite well without, however, being brilliant. Worth watching, even if we forget it quickly.

lolidunno16 Could this film be any more cliché? Hide and Seek is about when a man finds his wife dead in the bathtub at two in the morning on New Year's Day and his ten-year-old girl daughter is traumatised and will not speak.Then we get cliché after cliché for 90 minutes, as well as a stupid and cop-out ending. I will not spoil the ending because I think people should see the stupid ending for themselves. We've seen this stuff before so many times. Schizophrenia has almost become a stock plot for horror films. Gone are the days of vampires and witches. It's all just about mental illness now. And you only have to see 15 minutes of the film to realise this.However, I will at least give them points for trying. They obviously tried very hard to make this a good movie. It just didn't work out. They tried to do a few twists, but they simply did not work.4/10.

Python Hyena Hide and Seek (2005): Dir: John Polson / Cast: Robert De Niro, Dakota Fanning, Elisabeth Shue, Famke Janssen, Amy Irving: Standard thriller about personality defects. Little Dakota Fanning witnesses her mother's death so her father moves them into a big country house but soon she begins relating to an imaginary friend named Charlie, which disturbs her father when incidents occur. Typical premise is pure formula until reaching the standard violent climax. Director John Polson does well with the plot twists but fails to entertain a screenplay worth them. He is backed with a cast worthy of better material than this. Robert De Niro struggles in helping his daughter dealing with mental and emotional issues. Fanning fares mutual with her blank flat emotion. We understand her trauma plus she is responsible for the few interesting twists. Elisabeth Shue appears as potential romance only. Famke Janssen plays a therapist concern for Fanning. The joke here is that Janssen will eventually have to take on the role of Wonder Woman. Amy Irving is refreshing to see in a key role but more of her would have been nice. She is responsible for a plot turn of sorts whether it matters. The theme of personality defects is hardly the point here. It is a typical dull thriller with good actors set against material that earns them little or no recognition. The screenwriter should hide and seek a better screenplay. Score: 2 ½ / 10

LeonLouisRicci Horror and Extreme Horror Violence (read splatter) Fans were Universally Outraged, or at the Least Disappointed in this Psychological Picture with an All Star Cast and a Promising Premise. It is a Deliberately Paced (read pay attention) Movie that seems Better after its Over and the Events are Replayed in the Mind, then it was upon First Viewing.Dakota Fanning, Continuing Her "wise beyond years" Career as a Pre-Teen Haunted by the Suicidal Death of Her Mother as She is Intrusted with Her Father Played by Robert De Niro Playing a Psychologist.Things do Add Up Eventually and it is Tension with a Capital T as Things Unfold Creepily and it is Dakota's Acting that Keeps all the Other Actors on Their Toes and Really does Steal the Show. That is a Fear that Most Adult Actors, somewhat unfounded, have in Working with Children. But here the Myth is Manifested.Slightly Above Average and is Worth a Watch for the Child Star and De Niro's Against Type Attempt at Something Different.
