Critics consensus

“Robert De Niro and especially Dakota Fanning have earned some praise for their work in Hide and Seek, but critics have called the rest of the film derivative, illogical and somewhat silly.”

Older teens may enjoy; too creepy for kids.

A tawdry cocktail of red herrings, cheap psychology, and shameless horror-movie tropes.

A lame showcase for DeNiro's monotonous blankness and the hysterics of Fanning.

I appreciated director John Polson’s ability to capture the feel of upstate New York, enjoyed Ari Schlossberg’s clever script, and thought De Niro and Fanning gave characteristically fantastic central performances.
