Hide and Seek

This rental disappointed me. Robert DeNiro and Dakota Fanning star as father and daughter who move out to the country from NYC to learn to cope with the death of mother, who commits suicide in the opening scene.

Daughter creates an imaginary friend to help with the loss, but, of course, things "aren't right" with the little girl - or her imaginary friend.

This flick was all setup and no payoff. DeNiro's character is supposed to be a psychologist, but seems woefully inept when dealing with his obnoxious, spoiled daughter. The "shocking twist" is telegraphed from a mile away, and didn't surprise at all. No scares whatsoever. Even DeNiro can't save this one. Really a rather boring movie. In a word: Yawn.
