Hide and Seek

I'll start with the big buzz behind this movie's twist, which Fox shipped separately from the movie to the theatres so that people wouldn't seen it earlier (than regular early screenings at least) and nobody would spoil it for all the rest. And don't worry I wont, but I do have to say that this is an excellent horror movie up until that twist happens, and so when the movie ends you end up with so many inconclusive stories that you kind of not like the movie, though you were loving it 20 minutes ago.

Robert DeNiro plays David Callaway, a widower moving with his daughter to upstate New York to start a new life away from the memories of his wife's recent suicide. His young daughter Emily is played by Dakota Fanning, that super cute little 11 year old who we all love.
But Dakota is different here. She has dark hair, and she's crazy, Crazy Dakota I was named her, because she had a creepy way to stare at things and people and ultimately she was just awesome.
She's having lots of problems coping with her mom's death, and that's when the creates this imaginary friend named Charlie, and also when strange things start to happen around the house. The title Hide and Seek comes from the game Emily and Charlie play all the time.
Elisabeth Shue plays neighbor Elizabeth, who makes friend with David as she has a niece the same age as Emily and they're trying to get them together. Famke Janssen is Katherine, Emily's psychiatrist and also an old student of David who is also a psychiatrist.

Like I said, there's the big twist, which was ok, but what happens after it is the problem, as there is so much stuff unanswered, and even a handful of subplots that were put there just to play with our speculations, as they don't serve any purpose to the main story other than make us jump. And about that, it happens a lot, which is why I'm ending up supporting the movie, because is a horror movie, and its purpose is to scare us, and at least at that succeeds.
