Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Hide and Seek is a 2005 Psychological Horror film directed by John Polson, starring Robert De Niro and a then relatively-unknown Dakota Fanning.This film is about a psychiatrist named David Callaway (De Niro), who moves to upstate New York with his daughter Emily (Fanning) following the suicide of her mother (Amy Irving). While settling into their new home, Emily begins conversing with an imaginary friend named Charlie, while at the same time becoming close to Laura (Melissa Leo) and Steven (Robert John Burke), a neighboring couple who lost their own daughter to cancer.Emily's irrational behavior starts to worry David, and things come to a head when a woman he has befriended named Elizabeth (Elisabeth Shue) is killed while she is playing with Emily. Emily blames the murder on Charlie. David confronts his neighbor, believing him to be "Charlie", and drives him away... only to be immediately confronted with the real Charlie, his own psychotic alternate personality.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Daddy's Girl: Averted. Emily is cold or hostile towards David throughout the film. Even at the beginning of the film before she is traumatized, Emily seems closer to her mother.

At the end of the movie in the US release, after David/Charlie dies, Emily is shown at her foster home drawing a picture before going to school. Happy ending, right? Well, the picture is of her with two heads, implying she has developed an alternate personality too.

The End... Or Is It?: There are five different endings, four of which play this straight. At the end of the movie in the US release, after David/Charlie dies, Emily is shown at her foster home drawing a picture before going to school. Happy ending, right? Well, the picture is of her with two heads, implying she has developed an alternate personality too.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

Dull Surprise: What some critics have accused De Niro of doing as David. As Charlie, not as much.
