      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Robert De Niro and especially Dakota Fanning have earned some praise for their work in Hide and Seek, but critics have called the rest of the film derivative, illogical and somewhat silly.

      Satin B If you can hang on till the last 5minutes, you're doing well 😴 Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/27/23 Full Review Wolfgang G Hide and Seek – Du kannst dich nicht verstecken ist ein Mystery Thriller von John Polson (Regie) und Ari Schlossberg (Drehbuch)... Als ein Witwer versucht, sein Leben nach dem Selbstmord seiner Frau wieder in den Griff zu bekommen, findet seine Tochter zunächst Trost in einem imaginären Freund… Eine "stimmungsvolle" Vater-Tochter Beziehung mit eindrucksvollen Hauptdarstellern… Intelligent inszeniert und gut in Szene gesetzt, aber doch etwas langatmig, so verliert sich die Handlung in manchen ins Unlogische… Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/08/23 Full Review Colin M Spooky father and child movie. Slow. Not great. Includes four alternative endings to make the same point in different ways. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/20/23 Full Review Courtney K this is another one i haven't seen for YEARS & decided to rewatch... & it's not terrible, but it's also not that great either. maybe it's just because i've seen it before, but i feel like you see the twist coming a mile away which makes it less impactful somewhat. it's not a bad watch if you don't have anything better to do though. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/15/23 Full Review Mica L Loved this one. Maybe not the most original plot, but still entertaining and outstanding performances by DeNiro and Fanning. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/31/22 Full Review andy h De Niro and fanning give their all, but this forgettable horror flick comes off more like a predictable yet unintentionally hilarious TV movie. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Nell Minow Common Sense Media Older teens may enjoy; too creepy for kids. Rated: 3/5 Dec 24, 2010 Full Review Nathan Rabin AV Club A tawdry cocktail of red herrings, cheap psychology, and shameless horror-movie tropes. Oct 6, 2006 Full Review Empire Magazine Rated: 2/5 Apr 1, 2006 Full Review Micheal Compton Bowling Green Daily News Hide and Seek is a silly exercise on bad horror films that starts promisingly enough, but quickly erodes into a movie that has more laughs than thrills. Nov 18, 2019 Full Review Harry Haun Film Journal International 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. Mar 1, 2007 Full Review Russ Breimeier Christianity Today 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?' Rated: 1/4 Sep 25, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews
