Gasp when Emily turns up for dinner in Mom's old evening clothes, per Charlie's suggestion.įanning, the blonde imperiled cherub in last year's Man on Fire, has been gothed up here with a dark wig and shadowy eyes. Note how Dad frowns when Emily talks about Charlie. Watch Dad try to play hide-and-seek like Mom did. The film begs us to study David and Emily's father-daughter relationship. The supporting characters have little to do here but appear suspicious. He seeks advice from his own protégé Katherine, who assures him Emily's simply working through some things: 'Trauma causes pain.' And who knows what else - who's mangling dolls? Drowning the cat? Pushing people out of windows? Driving Daddy insane? Charlie, Charlie, Charlie. Did Emily scribble freaky messages all over the bathroom? Nope, 'Charlie did it.'ĭad's worried, but as a psychologist and an affluent single parent, he indulges Emily's claims. Woodland is inhabited only by red herrings: an odd cop (Dylan Baker) a pair of needy neighbors with a kiddie fixation a comely divorcée (Elisabeth Shue) and 'Charlie.' Charlie is Emily's imaginary (or is he?) friend, who quickly develops a propensity for very bad behavior. So away the pair go to the imaginatively named rural village of Woodland, where they move into a huge house, all the better to be filled with creaky staircases, hidden closets, old-fashioned bathtubs and faulty wiring. He decides the cure for Emily's catatonic trauma is to move the child hours away from her own doctor, Katherine (Famke Janssen), to an isolated house in the country. Her dad, David (Robert DeNiro), is a psychologist, though he might be the worst analyst in Manhattan.

Predictably, Emily goes off the deep end, movie-style, where all she does is stare silently out windows with her huge Keane-like eyes. No sooner are the lights out in this charming Central Park West apartment when little Emily and her dad find mom floating dead in a bath of her own blood. Nine-year-old Emily (Dakota Fanning) adores her mother (Amy Irving), who in the film's opening sequence delights her daughter by indulging in a bedtime game of hide-and-seek. Based on a script from first-time screenwriter Ari Schlossberg, the film is a checklist of elements compiled from once-edgy, now-dusty thrillers combined with a strenuously inept narrative.

A flashy ad campaign and an A-list star may lure movie-goers, but that's just a fresh shill for a very stale product. Any plan switch after redemption of this offer will result in forfeiture of the discount pricing.Hide and Seek desires to be a spooky cinematic riff on the popular children's pastime, but John Polson's film has the feel of another game, and it's one where we, the audience, get played.
