Hide and Seek is a pretty good thriller. Both Robert De Niro and Dakota Fanning are excellent in this story about a recently widowed father who moves to the country with her daughter. The daughter starts seeing an imaginary friend named Charlie. Is Charlie real or a figment of her imagination? The ending, which I will not reveal, is the least satisfying part of the movie. It goes on like a conventional thriller which we have seen many times before, such as The Shining. Elizabeth Shue is wasted in a role that looks like was more important in an original draft of the script. Famke Janseen comes across better as Fanning's therapist who thinks something is wrong. I give this film a 6/10.
