David Callaway tries to piece together his life in the wake of his wife's suicide and has been left to raise his nine-year-old daughter, Emily on his own. David is at first amused to discover that Emily has created an imaginary friend named 'Charlie', but it isn't long before 'Charlie' develops a sinister and violent side, and as David struggles with his daughter's growing emotional problems, he comes to the frightening realisation that 'Charlie' isn't just a figment of Emily's imagination.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Hide and Seek (2005) starring Robert De Niro and Dakota Fanning is an interesting movie. De Niro gives a great performance as David, I can't go into deep detailed specifics without spoiling things, but just suffice to say his performance is good, and so is Dakota Fanning's. Fanning really proved that she's more than the cutesie little girl in the cat in the hat. Elisabeth Shue has a fairly small role, but with what material she does have, she does well with it. Famke fits her role well and her character doesn't have all that much to do or Day up until the final act of the film, but she handles the portions of the movie she's in well. The movie keeps you in complete suspense and constantly guessing about who Charlie is and if he's real and really what his origin/background is. The whole time up until the end I was wondering who he was, if he was that character or another, what he was all about.... overall I was satisfied with the ending and I was pretty satisfied with the film, acting and all. 7/10 for Hide and Seek (2005).

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.

This film was a really great horror movie, even though the cat dies. The actors had been chosen perfect for the roles they were given. Robert De Niro had the film unstoppable,it was as if he lost his identity which obviously was the intention. To conclude Dakota Fanning made the film more thrilling, what I mean by this is that she looked normal and it was like she knew what to do even though she was incredibly scared. Overall the film is extremely entertaining and the plot was done really smart to make everything seem OK when everything was definitively not. " Come out come out whatever you are" Great film hope you enjoyed my opinion.

In a normal family of New York City, David Callaway (Robert De Niro) is a psychologist who has to face the mysterious suicide of his wife. Unfortunately this tragic incident is causing a big trauma to his little daughter Emily (Dakota Fanning). David decides to move to the countryside to to give all the support and make her to forget what happened, but things became even worse and very weird. In the new house Emily's imaginary friend named 'Charlie' takes control over her behavior. Somebody wants to play hide and seek but neither David nor little Emily seems to enjoy this apparently innocent but dangerous game. The most scary movies are the ones where a child plays a significant role, Dakota Fanning is quiet scary. An unusual performance of Robert De Niro not the best of his famous career.
