Hide And Seek - Large

This new movie looks awesome too, its about a little girl who talks to a boy named Charlie. But nobody believes he's there because they cant see him, they think its her imaginary friend. But he isnt.

cal31
Yeah I just saw the trailer, looks good, but the plot does seem very familiar. Also, Deniro is a great actor, but some of his last couple of films were very bad choices.

L49_JoaquinLovr
I myself havent seen many DeNiro films really, except Meet the parents and stuff.
But the movie looks good, I see where you're coming from with all the 'similar looking' stuff, especially after I saw the Grudge. *bangs head on monitor*

KillTheLight
I love Deniro he's one of my favourite actors but looking at that trailer I dont think I'm going to bother to go and watch this,as the plot does look to familair.Movies like that just dont do anything for me.




If your going to rent some Deniro movies I suggest

Goodfellas,This boys life,Taxi driver,Raging bull and Sleepers there all pretty cool movies.

<<Solo>>
Goodfellas is a must see. But this, this is Godsend all over again.

Myth
Casino, Once Upon A Time in America and Godfather 2 are also great.

L49_JoaquinLovr
Ill check that out stick out tongue

Cinemaddiction
I'm there. I love Dakota Fanning.

L49_JoaquinLovr
lol. She's cute.

BackFire
Another typical thriller with some kid whispering all of her lines, I will not be seeing this one. Looks like every other generic thriller that comes out these days.

L49_JoaquinLovr
Name some where you see a little girl supposedly talking to someone there with her.

cal31
The Others wilth Nicole Kidman is the only one I can think of right now, but I know there are others that I just can't think of the name.

L49_JoaquinLovr
Riiightt... roll eyes (sarcastic)

And in The Others it turns out that they were really the dead ones. Plus they didnt even really talk to them.

forumcrew
definantly looks good, reminds me a bit of what lies beneath.

robert dinero is always good, but the reason this movie will be good is dakota fanning, she is the most talented child actress iv ever seen in a movie. (she was in man on fire recently, and is in war of the worlds with tom cruise

Napalm
Robert DeNiro is playing the role of a father whos daughter has an imaginary friend named "Charlie". He dosent worry much about it till people start dyeing. Man It sure looks cool

eggmayo
Any trailers or info from specific website?

Cinemaddiction
I'll see it, if not only for Dakota Fanning.

Napalm
Hideandseekmovie.com

eggmayo
Hot'Damn... Famke Janssen

Cowboyography
Looks ok, But remeber what happened last time Deniro did horror. we got Godsend smile

Lord_Andres
Looks like an Amityville horror rip of , if you ask me

Mane
Agreed. She is an absolutely fantastic actress for her age. yes

Napalm
Yeah I saw the movie "I am sam" It was utter crap except for her performance

Cowboyography
That movie was RETARDED stick out tongue

Napalm
Yeap

Wolfie
I liked I am Sam. Sean Penn played a retarded guy very well.

I'll check Hide and Seek out. You can't go wrong with Robert DeNiro. I also love the scene on the trailer with the cop and the daughter. "What are you drawing?" "You... dying!"

slayer
Looks ok decent i may cjeck it out if i have time.

terra grl 123
I can't wait until it comes out. big grin

Mane
Wrong forum.

Hide and Seek looks good, but Boogeyman can kiss my butt.

Cinemaddiction
"Hide and Seek", "Alone in the Dark", and "IMAX: Aliens of the Deep" all drop Friday. eek!

Decisions, decisions.

Napalm
Hide and seek looks best

MildPossession
Hide and Seek does look promising, Dakota Fanning is a wonderful little actress.

Alone in the Dark might be going straight to dvd here in England.

Lord_Andres
well i think Hide and seek looks to much of a Amityville horror rip of...

Mane
Cory, Alone in the Dark looks so rad!

Cinemaddiction
How so? Was there an little girl with a deviant imaginary friend in Amityville, also?

BackFire
Hurray for more generic horror films involving little children whispering in a generic creepy manner.

Hide and Seek looks like shit, but at least Dylan Baker is in it, and he kicks hardcore ass.

Lord_Andres
Oh man I just watched the trailer for hide and seek again, and oh man, what can I say another one, this will 90% have a 'suprise ending' we will be lead to belive that the girl is the killer, and stuff, but proboly jjust some local freak or something, also this is kinda riping of amityville, moviig to a new house and stuff, and I know theres gonna be more rip of stuff from amityville in this one

WindDancer
Robert De Niro should just stop appearing in this type of films. It was bad enough with Godsend and now this....is really not for him.

slayer
it looks ok, the only reason i'd see it is Dakota Fanning.

Jason420
i accidently picked boogyman but my vote is really going to hide and seek i like dakota fanning

Jennifer_Tilly
Boogeyman looks ok but Hide and Seek looks better.

Loving_Daniel11
I havent seen either yet but I want to.

Beastro
"Hide and Seek" looks like crap.Ive seen some clips of it from Yahoo movies and Dakota Fanning who is a amazing younge actress looks like she is going to be totally wasted.I rarely even trust Deniros judgement anymore after "Godsend"

Morning_Glory
havent seen either of these movies but they will probably still be disappointing sad

SlipknoT
Your right, all of these movies are using the same formula of Little children whispering in creepy voices to cover up for the fact that the movie sucks, and have no substance to them whatsoever.

Cinemaddiction
I don't see anything generic about "Hide and Seek". There's an Oscar caliber young actress with an original plot, and I have a feeling it will do well, that is if people would take the time to SEE IT before making assumptions.

I mean no offense, but is she seen whispering in the trailers?



Now you people are LOOKING for reasons to hate this movie. Moving into a new house means it's an Amityville ripoff? My god, guys.

I for one am going to see it, and if there isn't a SINGLE LINE where she whispers to someone, I'm going to rub your ****ing faces in it, lol. laughing

She's whispering in almost every scene shown in the trailer.

The plot isn't original at all, some kid who has a "sixth sense" and can see things others can't, and communicates with something or another that's dangerous and killing people (The Ring). It looks like a very typical horror film that will surely have a generic twist at the end "Oooooo, Robert Deniro is the murderer, that's deep".

SlipknoT
Its been done a thousand times.

Cinemaddiction
Gotta call you on this one, my friend.

The plot is as follows. David (DeNiro) and Emily(Fanning) lose their mother, making David a widower. They move to upstate New York and to get through the grieving process and move, Emily creates and obsesses over an imaginary friend in Charlie.

It's a real shame that everyone's going to out the cliches in favor of the originality when it comes to kids in Horror movies. Like Haley Joel Osment completely ruined any other young actors credibility in a horror film.

I'm not denying that there may be some cliches, which aren't visible in the trailer, but for anyone to be so naive as to write it off as another "Sixth Sense" movie is totally wrong by the plot alone. If you can find me another movie regarding a kid with post traumatic stress disorder and an killer imaginary friend, I'll eat crow.

That said, I just watched 4 clips and 3 trailers, and the ONLY time she EVER whispered was when she was counting, to herself mind you, (1-1,000, 2-1,000..) per the game "Hide and Seek". That's it and that's all. No other time.

Beastro
Even some of the best actors have there bad movies.Its not the actually plot thats so much un-original its the whole creepy kid who talks to dead people or spirits or Ghost.Its been done a million times and they just have to give it a rest.

She is seen whispering in the trailers when she's telling the cop "im drawing you....dying"

Im not looking for reasons to hate it im just saying that it looks like crap and the whole creepy kid thing is getting old.

jnr_hiphop
I really want to watch hide and seek.. but im worried its not gonna be worth watchin.. can someone tell me if its good? and how freaky is it?

Cinemaddiction
I'll let you know Friday.

BackFire
Well obviously it isn't an imaginary friend if it's murdering people, obviously it's either a spirit of some sort or just a ploy to hide the real murderer who would thus be human (either the girl herself or Deniro). Either way, it's a terrorizing being that's killing people that only the girl can see (The Ring, the kid in that movie saw the evil girl, and blah blah).



As I said, this movie doesn't look original in any way, other then small technicalities as to why the girl is wierd, or the ploy that it's her "imaginary friend" who is killing people. Either way, the premise is tired. A wierd girl is the only witness to a being that is hurting/killing people. Not original in the least as far as teh basic premise goes.



I wouldn't call it a Sixth sense clone, but I would call it a very simplistic twist on the current trend of creepy kids in crappy suspense movies with a mindnumbingly simple twist. Basically a rehash, I really can't see this being an exception.



Her voice is not a blatant whisper, but it's kind of airy all the time, as if she's afraid to raise her voice. Talking in a very low, very sollumn voice, just like every other kid in these types of movies.

I can garuantee there will be some crappy twist at the end as to what "charlie" actually is. This much I'm sure of.

Beastro
I dont understand.Why am I going to go see this film if it looks like crap?

Cinemaddiction
Who said you had to/were?

Beastro
For some reason even though it looks like crap I always end up going to the new horror flicks with my friends for some reason.

Cinemaddiction
Well, as I suspected, no whsipering, and it had NOTHING to do with ghosts are haunted houses or any of that shit.

Read my review, and prepare to eat crow.

BackFire
And as I suspected the twist is exactly as I guessed. Extremely shitty and predictable. As usual I guessed it without even seeing the movie. They just don't try anymore.

Beastro
Wow,the ol "Identity twist,exciting no expression

Loving_Daniel11
Saw it last night, didnt like it much.

tpaquin
I saw it yesterday.

Liked it more when it was called Secret Window.

I didn't like Secret Window much, either, though.

Cinemaddiction
Just because the ending is 25% predictable, doesn't mean the movie wasn't enjoyable. If that were true, Horror/Thrillers would have been done for years ago.



"Identity"? Not hardly. "Identity" had the same ending as "Frailty". "Hide and Seek" had an ironic turn of events and kept pretty much everyone guessing until the end.

Wolfie
More like a Fight Club twist.

I thought it was okay. I've seen worse. Robert DeNiro and Dakota Fanning really saved the movie. They were both great.

What was the deal with the drawing at the end?? I was sitting in the theater with my two friends as the credits were running, "WTF is the two heads supposed to mean???" I could imagine if she was drawing Robert DeNiro. But she drew herself.

papabeard
Think i'll wait for this to come out on video

ladygrim
hmm *yawn*

wishmaster
that movie sucked it was worse than the grudg only on epart scared me and it was when the freky cope got up and scared the girl man he acted like a child molester and there making a sequil

Cinemaddiction
There's no room for a sequel in this movie.

BlackC@t
Everyone of these forums hates every movie rolleyes1

Wolfie
Just recent ones. C-Dic and I liked this one a little.

BlackC@t
Shit! Cine, your sig rocks! eek!

Cinemaddiction
Oh, my "Bound By Blood" sig? Thanks. happy

Wolfie
Yeah, it's awesome!

dean7879
hide and seek is crap..pure and utter crap

kmcdude
I dont understand why you see the girl in a mental home at the end???

As we all know Deniro was the killer?

Wolfie
Schizophrenia is hereditary. That's the only conclusion I could come up with from the ending.

Yeah, whenever the ending is as hyped up as this one, you gotta know there will be a twist in it. Apparently, the studio released the movie minus the last half hour or so. On the opening day, they released the rest of the movie. They didn't want people giving away the ending if they had an inside-look (if you work at the theater or something).

I'm curious, did anyone get/rent the DVD? How were the alternate endings? Any better than the theatrical ending?
