"Hide and Seek" was last night's fare at the Thursday Night Movie Club. Here's the review I posted at the TNMC website:
john polson’s “hide and seek” (robert de niro, dakota fanning, famke janssen, elisabeth shue, amy irving, and dylan baker). a little girl is freaked out by her mother’s suicide, and her psychologist dad takes her to the country to try to cure her. but she just keeps getting worse, and suddenly has an “imaginary friend” who is causing all manner of mayhem. this is mostly just a routine type of thriller, but I liked the way you are never sure, until the end, if it is going turn out to be a “supernatural” type thriller with a demon or ghost or something like that, or a “psychological” thriller with some real, flesh-and-blood person doing the mischief. but by the end, you want to kick yourself for not seeing the resolution coming. at least, that’s how I felt. overall, worth a look, but not a classic.
P.S. - much better then "The Grudge"
