hide and seek be one of the best horror film i have see in awhile . it be about a psychologist and david callaway ( robert deniro ) whose wife commits suicide and and he decide to move to upstate new york with his daughter and emily ( dakota fanning ) and whose personality have severely change after her mother death . a family friend or psychologist or co worker of david and katherine ( famke janssen ) disagree with david decision to move and and think that emily should stay where she be . then after david and emily move into their new house and david meet elizabeth ( elisabeth shue ) and who become a friend to david and emily . then strange thing begin to happen emily discover a new imaginary friend and charlie . and then people start to die . robert deniro and dakota fanning be both brilliant and their performance be extremely real and convince . dakota be quite talented for her age and and deniro give another great performance like he always do . famke janssen ( don not say a word and house on haunt hill ) also do great and and elisabeth shue ( the karate kid ) be also very good . in fact and the whole cast be great . the whole film be really suspenseful and and it trick you a lot . the atmosphere be heavy and i love the whole feeling of the secluded upstate new york small town and and the large house david and emily move into . i like this movie because it be more psychological rather than chop and slash gore that most horror film use to scare people . hide and seek have a good and solid story behind it and which be why it be such a good horror film and and the acting be top notch on top of it all . i do not understand everyone problem with this movie and it be actually quite good . sure and the end be a little cliché and but the rest of the movie be good enough on it own . positive .
