Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Clement Tyler Obropta You sit down in a cozy diner. It's familiar, like you've been to a thousand diners like that one before. Maybe you've been to them once a week, if you're into diners. And maybe when you go, they don't let you in because that particular diner — for whatever reason — only admits customers 17 years of age or older. I don't know.You order the "Hideaway" omelet, which you think will be good because the menu assures you that the ingredients come from an organic farm. The Dean R. Koontz Organic Farm, let's call it.The waiter comes out with your omelet and, lo and behold, your waiter is Jeff Goldblum!Goldblum says, "Here's your... ah... omelet, sir... or... or madam — I'm not sure of the... ah... exact... gender of the person I am speaking to," and then he puts the plate down in front of you.And it's just awful. Everything is lousy. Nothing works. Nothing is memorable. It looks like any ordinary omelet, except the ingredients all look fake and taste even worse. The bacon, which the menu brags is added in to make the omelet look cool, looks like it was made in the '90s, a decade notorious for its fake-looking bacon. To make matters worse, the whole thing reeks of cheese. It's all so cheesy.And though the ingredients are normal, everyday omelet ingredients — mushrooms, cheese, tomatoes, onions — they come together in an odd and confusing way. Not only that, but you also taste chocolate and apples and the faintest whiff of shrimp, even though none of these things fit in with your omelet. Plus, the more you eat the omelet, the messier it becomes. It isn't long before the undercooked eggs are splayed out all over your plate, and you consider leaving the diner right at that minute, but you remember that you're paying about $6 in 1995 money for this omelet. You can't just get up and leave it. Plus, you owe it to Jeff Goldblum to listen to what he has to say, even though he's talking about how he lost his daughter in a car accident and you don't even remember how he got on that subject to begin with.In fact, the only thing that makes the experience worthwhile is Jeff Goldblum, who just rambles to you the entire time you're eating that garbage omelet. He's holding a shotgun, too, for some reason. That's cool, you think to yourself. Jeff Goldblum looks like a badass when he's holding a shotgun.And when you've finished eating the omelet, Jeff Goldblum thanks you for your time and takes the plate back to the kitchen. You never see him again, but you decide that, in two weeks, when you've forgotten that you've ever eaten the "Hideaway" omelet, with its synthetic ingredients, confusing recipe, messy eggs and overwhelming cheesiness, you'll remember who it was that gave it to you: Jeff Goldblum.So maybe you'll be back to that diner to eat another meal with him, but you know one thing for sure: You're never going to order that goddamned omelet again.

Leofwine_draca Bland and boring in equal amounts, HIDEAWAY is a major disappoint all round. Although the skill involved is more than adequate in front of and behind the camera, the tepid plot and direction mean that the film is just too dull for its own good. Based on a Dean R Koontz novel (obviously not one of his best) and scripted by the screenwriter of SE7EN, Andrew Kevin Walker, the film at least had something going for it, but it totally lacks any of the disturbing force that SE7EN may have had.The use of a psychic link to a serial killer is nothing new and goes back decades, it has been done much better in the past. The killer in this case is a boy. That's right, a little Goth kid with greasy hair. Where's the terror in that? There is none. It's laughable. Jeff Goldblum puts in a mediocre performance and looks like he's sleepwalking through the role as the man tormented by visions, I usually like this actor but in this case he leaves me cold. His wife isn't much better, displaying emoting which seems to have been picked up from countless made-for-television movies. Alicia Silverstone is supposed to add some glamour but fails, just turning out as another obnoxious teenager in peril (which we've seen countless times). Alfred Molina and Rae Dawn Chong appear in small roles and are not given much to do.The thing I didn't like about this film was that it obviously thinks it's good, and it isn't. Major publicity was given to the 'original' special effects, computer effects nonetheless, which were supposed to be show-stopping. However they look just like they've come out of a computer game, with swirling tunnels and patterns which I could create on my PC if I wished to. Didn't THE LAWNMOWER MAN already do this? So what is there to recommend this film? A good horrible scene where Goldblum clutches a razor blade in his hand to make it bleed, and that's about it. Give HIDEAWAY a miss at all costs unless you want to be bored out of your brain.

BloedEnMelk I have to admit, I watched 'Hideaway' because I had quite high expectations of Jeremy Sisto playing the evil guy. And it has to be said, he is fun watching in his role of Vassago. His angelic looks combined with being a 'very bad boy' is an enjoyable combination (especially when he is taking a shower ;-) ). But enough praises for being sexy.Goldblum's performance is also fine. I was less convinced though about Lindsey Harrison, but it might also be that the plot just wasn't really on her hands. The dialogs were often pretty unconvincing and annoying. But the worst part of the movie was the incredibly cheesy end. As soon as the battle between good and bad started, my jaw dropped and I could only laugh. It wasn't all that good till that point, but the end really ruined everything that was still left of the movie. It's not that we are talking about the ineffectiveness of the still young era of computer effects, it was just.. all... just..... yes, terribly, terribly cheesy. If the script would have been better worked out, with better dialogs and a better pace, I might have given it a 6 or 7. But without that dialog and a better pace, and with an ending like this, I can not come up with more then a 4.

FieCrier I just watched this on video. Looking at the video box, I remembered looking at the video box before, but I didn't remember seeing it before. I remember seeing it before now, though. Not a good sign. I can honestly, then, say this movie is forgettable.It starts with a young man in a house, with two women who appear to be praying silently. He goes up into a small room in which he has a lot of candles lit, newspaper clippings, and things written on the wall in red. He impales himself on a knife. A man runs into the house, and finds his wife and daughter are not praying, they're dead and posed, and he then finds his dead son. In a CGI scene, the dead son's soul or whatever (his translucent face, and a vague indication of his body) is traveling through colorful tunnels. It's pretty laughably bad.From that happy family, we go to Jeff Goldblum and his wife Christine Lahti on vacation with their daughter, Alicia Silverstone. They're corny, and their daughter finds them annoying. They get into a car accident on the way home, and Goldblum drowns or nearly drowns. He goes through the same sort of tunnels, but he also sees his other daughter who had died sometime in the past calling to him. It's pretty laughable too.Alfred Molina brings Goldblum back to life, but Goldblum starts having visions of himself killing young women. He also finds that when he injures himself, the injuries heal up almost instantly (that was never explained). Goldblum worries for the safety of his daughter, who the killer takes an interest in.In the end, there's a big CGI battle between good and evil. It's pretty corny too, and it's not just a matter of the now-dated special effects.
