The previews look great..lets hope the movie is

[majorbludd]

this movie looks like raccoon shit...i'm tired of children in horror movies who look like they were fetal alcohol babies...especially when their names are dakota fanning.....the only reason i remember this little bitch's name is because theres a giant billboard for this piece of ostrich shit near my house....these movies are all the same....let alone deniro hasn't been in a good movie since casino..

[immortalem]

[The_Return]

Gotta agree, little creepy kids in movies are pissin me off

It's like they can't make a horror movie anymore without some kid in it warning everyone of "the horror" or that they speak to their demonic invisable friends..

No shit...it is quite annoying :mad:

[urgeok]

i just heard the most scathing review of this film.
the guy hated it so much he gave away the ending on the radio .. said he hated it so much that he didnt care.
(this guy is a horror film freak)

another nail in Deniro's coffin.
guess he didnt learn much from The Godsend.

[Cheetara101]

It figures.:rolleyes: I'm REAL tired of the little kiddies in the movie. The concept is getting old. The only time I wanted to see kiddies were in Child's Play...and IT. LOL

[LilMissScareAll]

I really liked Hide & Seek.

[The Mothman]

ya was it scary? im thinking about seeing it this weekend.

[phantomstranger]

I liked this movie.Less a horror movie and more of psycholgical thriller in the style of Hitchcock. No splatter or gore and no overblown special FX, just good acting and a decent, though not very original, story.

[The Mothman]

o. although i do like the blood splatter and the overdone special effects, ill see it anyway.

[lee challenger]

What's wrong with using kids in horror films?
Regan from The Exorcist and Damien from The Omen 1 and 2 are scarier than any adult characters.

[Aasiyan]

Well, I for one enjoyed the film. It was kind of like The Secret Window though. Knowing that kind of gives away the end. It was different, and I didn't really see the end coming. Mostly because I went and watched it right away. That way I wan't sure what was coming. It made all the difference for my movie watching experience.

[immortalem]

I saw this film and it was horrible. I like Robert De Niro but this was not one of his better films. The story is lame and unoriginal. This movie seemed like a rip off of Raising Caine (which is a pretty good film).

[tragickingdom]

i thought this was a GREAT movie, i loved it.

[KRUGERKID13]

terrible fucking hollywood shit good untill you realise the obvious which took like 20 minutes.

[Ea_Tenshi]

i most definetly wnat to see it. it looks very suspensfull.

ah, they were the good old days. Now this child horror movies are all the same, or seems like it anyways.

[ItsAlive75]

Children are stupid.

I have no idea why kids are scary, they're DIFFERENT thatn us! Different isn't scary.





:confused:

[X¤MurderDoll¤X]

Those two kids in the shining freak me the fuck out.

LOL

[Yasashii]

^_^ I liked this movie, it was...intresting.

[bloody_ribcut]

hide and seek, man-o-man. no special effects, just a handfull of actors and a twisted script. yeah, it's working out fine.

[Macabre_Maiden]

Deniro gets points for always being a kick-ass actor and playing every role to it's limit. No matter who he's portraying, you never question it for a second.

That being said, it's hard to let the entire weight of a film lie on the shoulders of one gifted entertainer. Hide and Seek was not exactly what I expected. The quality was low, and the ending quite predictable. However, I sat in the theatre seat and watched with interest.

It has already been compared to Secret Window and I'd like to add a comparsion to What Lies Beneith, also. But, there's something about being out in the middle of nowhere with a crazy on the loose that's getting very tired.

As for children in the mix for horror, I'm pro-kids. The little girl in Hide and Seek was seriously creepy. The Sixth Sense was enriched with Osment's believable terror. The Excorist wouldn't have been what it was. The children in the Others.

I believe the notion of a child being used for such a scary concept in horror movies is meant to add a greater sense of horror. (For some reason) Many people would rather see a group of sinning teenagers be hacked up then a poor, defenseless child. There's greater compassion for a possessed kid then for a possessed adult. It's an interesting and useful technique.

[bloody_ribcut]

so like, was the kid caught?

[allmykids]

I heard this movie sucked. but I have not seen it yet.

[BH14]

Just picked up this movie and going to check it out later tonight... What did you all think? Seems like most people didnt like it....I'll give my review later on.

Really cliched flick, not much to it except a lot of fluff.

But its DeNiro, and I'd take a bullet for that guy.

[BH14]

Dont read if you havent seen it. I think its worth a rent though bc its still good.

SPOILERS****lots of them
My review of this film is that its good but with a big flaw.... Its predictable because most film buffs seen this multiple personality outcome in a ton of movies. Its been done a lot in the past few years... I dont have a problem with it but this movie gave WAY TOO many clues. From the trailer, i thought it was a ghost movie but then I saw all these clues and I knew the outcome after 35 mins. They should have given less clues... We knew it wasnt gonna be the neghbor bc that would make little sense or the little girl bc she couldnt do all that work. How about make the audience think that it could be a possible ghost? Lights flickering, slammed doors or something to that effect that charlie did. They should have done something like that. Thats my only problem with this movie...
Good aspects of this film: plot is good even though predictable. Nice ending.... Good acting.... I know lot of people bashed De Niro and Fanning.... I think we were all just spoiled by seeing De Niro play such unique and interesting characters from Goodfellas and one of my favs "Cape Fear"... He played this movie's role just fine. He was widow husband with a child so ofcourse, I wouldnt expect him to be as rememberable as his past unique characters that he played... As for Dakato, Im not gonna bash a little girl's acting ability because I actually liked her in this role and Man on Fire. In this role, her character called for an emotionless little girl with a blank stare and she played that well... She was traumatized so I cant expect a talkative and happy little girl. By the way, the 4 alternate endings were pretty good but the original worked the best. Also, this movie used some scare tactics in which the lights went off and made it pitch dark... Why dont more movies do that? Its a good way to creep people out. Im talking about the basement scene.
I give it a 7.5/10....... it could have been higher if it wasnt so predictable.

[Elvis_Christ]

I thought this was pretty average especially the "twist" ending.
