External critics' reviews
Chicago Tribune Michael Wilmington
Surprises with its intensity and grip. more
Washington Post Desson Thomson
As cliche-ridden horror films go, Hide and Seek builds a pretty darn good mousetrap. more
Premiere Kevin Allison
It's tightly paced and confidently styled. These times call for more daring in our horror films, but for this weekend, this will do the trick. more
Entertainment Weekly Scott Brown
Hide and Seek, despite early signs of higher goals, is a factory-standard box of shocks. more
Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
It's not technically true to say the movie cheats, but let's say it abandons the truth and depth of its earlier scenes. more
Miami Herald Connie Ogle
Its frights are not that chilling or original, its secrets more run-of-the-mill than astounding. more
New York Daily News Jami Bernard
Aside from its relentless exploitation of a child, this minor thriller features an intriguing beginning, a middling middle and an increasingly silly end, with a multitude of red herrings going squoosh underfoot. more
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. more
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) Rick Groen
From the base-model script to the assembly-line thrills, everything about Hide and Seek is generic except its star. more
Portland Oregonian M. E. Russell
Kind of a drag. more
