Hide and Seek Reviews
Older teens may enjoy; too creepy for kids.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 24, 2010
A tawdry cocktail of red herrings, cheap psychology, and shameless horror-movie tropes.
| Oct 6, 2006
| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 1, 2006
A lame showcase for DeNiro's monotonous blankness and the hysterics of Fanning.
| Original Score: D | Jun 20, 2005
De Niro continues his long slide into mediocrity with yet another charmless psycho-thriller.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 8, 2005
The movie goes down the tubes in the last third.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Feb 5, 2005
Follows no semblance of internal logic.
| Feb 1, 2005
I think it's just so well made, so well photographed.
Full Review | Jan 31, 2005
A psychological thriller that dangles over the precipitous edge of awfulness a full 90 minutes before toppling into that abyss with the resounding clatter of Robert De Niro's ham-on-rye overacting.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jan 30, 2005
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.
Full Review | Jan 30, 2005
It is a waste of both time and talent, a glut of performers whom all deserve better suffering through the ignominy of a wretchedly botched missed opportunity.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 30, 2005
It's so absolutely preposterous that it stops the film cold and draws a collective 'Aw c'mon!' from viewers wondering if maybe they should take back some of that ill will that greeted M. Night Shyamalan's surprise turn of events in The Village.

The movie's only rewards are a few unintentional laughs, as when the sheriff (Dylan Baker) calls Emily a 'cute kid' after a long stretch in which she's been acting and looking battier than Sunset Boulevard's Norma Desmond.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 28, 2005
Hide and Seek really isn't a suspense thriller at all. It's a mystery movie. It's always a mystery when highly talented people commit the time and effort to a film that is so obviously mediocre.
| Jan 28, 2005
For the first hour or so it builds inexorably to an excruciating level of dread. It does this so well, we're willing to forgive the small lapses of logic it takes to get us there.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 28, 2005
The second half gets downright silly as the country home turns into a slaughterhouse. What could have been a Sixth Sense-style intelligent thriller heads straight for the drive-in, though it's still handled with considerable skill.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 28, 2005
As a fright movie, Hide and Seek is only a middling thriller. But as a tip sheet for real estate shoppers in wooded rural areas, it's top-notch.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 28, 2005
The mystery is maintained only through characters' behaving against their own interest, doing things they wouldn't do, failing to mention things they certainly would mention.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 28, 2005
There are few scares and even less logic.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 28, 2005
