Hide and Seek (2005)
7/10
Pretty scary in some places

Warning: Spoilers
Although the subject of schizophrenia(dual personality) is not new in the film industry, this film stands apart.Robert De Niro and Dakota Fanning were their usual best in this film.Location wise, this film reminds me of The Village.Some scenes in this film are pretty scary, I must admit. Some improvements which could have been done were I guess the number of "suspicious" characters in the film. Clearly, it has only a few suspicious looking characters in the film. The neighbour turned out to be good, but the fact is that you can't suspect a person unless he's involved in some past events. And then, with a house left with only two members, one could conclude that the problem was with either Emily or her father, and that one of them could be schizophrenic. At the end, it turns out both are schizophrenic :) Clearly, the dad is the primary suspect since a child is less capable of attempting feats like throwing Elizabeth out of the window (and she was also standing besides her). Still, the movie feels good and I would like to rate it as 7/10.

P.S: People who are interested in multiple personalities should watch Identity.
