Critics' Reviews

Washington Post: Desson Thomson
As cliche-ridden horror films go, Hide and Seek builds a pretty darn good mousetrap.Read Full Review »

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Scott Brown
Hide and Seek, despite early signs of higher goals, is a factory-standard box of shocks.Read Full Review »

Slate: David Edelstein
The movie is OK for a January horror picture, but given the premise and the cast--it should wring you out emotionally as it's scaring you witless.Read Full Review »

Salon.com: Stephanie Zacharek
Through its first two-thirds, at least, Hide and Seek does a good enough job of piquing our curiosity that the movie's ultimate dumbness is more than a minor insult.Read Full Review »

Philadelphia Inquirer: Steven Rea
The movie's main purpose seems to be to make audiences squirm uncomfortably. Yelp and shriek in armchair-clawing glee? Not likely.Read Full Review »

Boston Globe: Janice Page
Ignore the hype. You won't find anything startling or memorable in the derivative Hide and Seek.Read Full Review »

USA Today: Mike Clark
There's not a cliché that isn't nailed.Read Full Review »
