Review of Hide and Seek

There are no words sufficient enough to describe how truly terrifying this movie is. It really is terrifying, but not in a good way. I would have maybe given this film a pass, that is until the ending arrived. One of the hands down worst endings in the history of the movies. I am not kidding. If you have an IQ over the line of mental retardation, you will want to kill yourself after seeing John Polson's excuse for a climax. Surprise ending? You bet your sweet bippy it's surprising. As surprising as a last minute root canal. What has happened to Robert De Niro? Showtime? Analyze That? And worst of all this slap in the face. Dakota Fanning, I can understand. She will bounce back. But De Niro? He has jumped the shark so far that there's no turning back now. He might as well star in Mean Streets 2 and call it a day. Someone is controlling his mind, I know it. Please, for the love of all that is holy, do not see this movie if you truly value your free time. I have sacrificed myself so that you may not suffer as I did. You have been warned.
