Hide and Seek (Trouble jeu)
'Come out, come out, wherever you are!' That command is familiar to everyone who has played the children's game, Hide and Seek. The words and game take us back to an innocent carefree time in our lives, where the simple goal was to find hiding playmates. Many children could even enjoy a spirited game with imaginary friends. But then, imaginary friends can sometimes seem so real...for young Emily Callaway, her games of Hide and Seek with an imaginary friend named Charlie have become anything but simple and innocent. Instead, she finds herself in the middle of a series of increasingly nightmarish acts that even her father David cannot stop. Who--or what--is Charlie? David wonders. How can an 'imaginary' entity have this kind of hold on her? Maybe Charlie is not imaginary at all, but instead a flesh-and-blood, malevolent presence?

Older teens may enjoy; too creepy for kids.

This movie has more red herrings than an Agatha Christie novel combined with the aquarium downtown. The real question is, 'How did this stinker attract such a big name cast?'

[An] idiotic, yawn-a-minute thriller.

The best way to tell when things are getting bleak is to check Dakota Fanning's face. When she starts to look like a poached egg, that's when you better hide.

I think it's just so well made, so well photographed.
February 05, 2005
The movie goes down the tubes in the last third.

Through its first two-thirds, at least, Hide and Seek does a good enough job of piquing our curiosity that the movie's ultimate dumbness is more than a minor insult.
February 01, 2005
Follows no semblance of internal logic.

The movie starts out as one thing and suddenly jumps the tracks into something else. Then there's the question of credibility that this abrupt switch invites.

The 'surprise' ending in Hide and Seek is not only unreasonable, but also downright unoriginal.
October 06, 2006
A tawdry cocktail of red herrings, cheap psychology, and shameless horror-movie tropes.
February 07, 2006
Shameless in its appropriation of incidents and atmosphere from earlier horror movies, with De Niro giving one of the emptier performances of his latter-day career.
