Lassan és alaposan felépített feszültség a nulláról száz százalékig, ami csúcsformájában úgy 5 percig tart, majd egy olyan hülye csattanóval süllyed el, hogy az még akkor is "meglep", ha a leghülyébbre készültél. Illetve a legjobban elcsépeltre. De a rendezés korrekt, és Dakota Fanning jobb, mint Robert De Niro. Forgatókönyvírót rácsok mögé kellene dugni. (2005.04.15)

I have the impression that in the first decade of the 21st century there was a competition among creators about who could ruin a decent film the most with one stupid twist. Hide and Seek is a decently made and atmospheric film with good performances that it’s unfortunately brought down by the script, especially in the climax. But it’s watchable enough. (2011.02.18)

…nine-hippopotamus, ten-hippopotamus. Coming, ready or not! Where d'ya go? Where d'ya hide? You're not in the places I tried! A flawless routineer movie for cold winter evenings by the TV. Nothing excels here, everything is as you expect. You have seen all of this somewhere before. The end message is obvious from the very beginning, a fat that the creators are fully aware of, and so they don’t build the entire movie on it. If the movie had ended immediately after the punchline, I would give this three inoffensive but rather boring stars. Unfortunately, for some mysterious reason Hide and Seek continues another fifteen minutes after it. Those fifteen minutes are ridiculous and unfair on all those involved. (2007.08.27)

With this film, there is quite a noticeable effort to create a new Psycho, a dark psychothriller with a touch of horror, which is based on a significant revelation. Unfortunately, it doesn't come close to the qualities of Psycho, not even remotely. The film starts slowly, but as long as it works with hints and utilizes the talented Dakota Fanning, it's still fine. However, when the big revelation comes, it's simply forced and unbelievable, especially considering the actions of that girl. Furthermore, the finale is clichéd and dragged out. Overall impression: 55%. (2009.04.23)

The psychological structure of the film is as precarious as a house of cards, not to mention the completely idiotic ending, which I didn't expect, but at the same time it seemed completely unsuitable and as a result, the film lost even the smallest hint of realism, which could be felt at least halfway through it.
