It's a genuine scare-fest that will have you squirming in your seat and even screaming aloud. Hide and Seek is the best little psychological thriller in a long while.

这是一部真正恐怖的集会，它会让你座立不安，甚至大声尖叫。《捉迷藏》是很长时间内最好的且为数不多的心理惊悚片。

——Louis B. Hobson, Jam! Movies

Face it: Dakota Fanning is scary.

面对它吧：达科塔·范宁是可怕的。

——Phil Villarreal, Arizona Daily Star

Love this movie. Robert De Niro made a believable performance as a complete nut case and Dakota Fanning “even though looked awful” but gave a great performance.

爱这部电影。罗伯特·德尼罗扮演一位彻头彻尾的疯子，他的表演让我们信服;尽管达科塔·范宁看起来有些可怕，但她表演得很好。

Widowed Psychologist David Callaway(Robert De Niro)and his daughter Emily(Dakota Fanning), with whom he shares a troubled relationship, move after Emily's mother, Allison(Amy Irving), apparently commits suicide. David meets local woman Elizabeth(Elisabeth Shue)and her niece, Amy, who is roughly the same age as Emily. Hoping to cultivate a new friendship for Emily, David sets up a play-date for her. The play-date is spoiled however when Emily cuts up the face of Amy's doll. Despite the unsuccessful play-date, David and Elizabeth hit it off, though Emily acts in a hostile manner towards her as well.

A family friend, Katherine(Famke Janssen)——herself a fellow psychologist, visits David and Emily to try to help David and talks to Emily about her obsession with Charlie, her only new, imaginary, friend. Later, Elizabeth visits again, hoping to make peace with Emily. When Emily says she is playing hide-and-seek with Charlie, Elizabeth indulges her by pretending to look for him. However, someone pushes Elizabeth out the window to her death. When David asks Emily who did it, once more she blames Charlie, admitting Charlie “made her help him”. A distraught David, armed with a knife, goes outside, where he meets his neighbor. He assumes his neighbor is Charlie and cuts him with the knife, after which the suspicious neighbor calls the police.

Back in the house, David finds that, although he had seemingly been in his study many times, the boxes were actually never unpacked. David realizes that he has a split personality and that Charlie is not imaginary at all: Charlie is David himself. Whenever it appeared David was in his study, Charlie was actually in control. David also realizes that under his Charlie personality, he killed his wife and made it appear to be a suicide. He also fully recalls the events of the party the night before his wife's death, where he had caught his wife cheating on him, which triggered David's personality disorder,

As Charlie, David goes on a killing spree. He viciously attacks the local sheriff and drags Ns body to the cellar. Emily calls Katherine for help who arrives and is herself attacked by Charlie and thrown in the cellar with the sheriff. A terrified Emily manages to escape the house and knife-wielding Charlie seeking her out and runs into the cave. Katherine takes the gun from the mortally wounded sheriff and follows Charlie to the cave. Charlie pretends to be David, admits he, not Emily is sick, then proceeds to viciously attacks Katherine. As Charlie threatens Emily, Katherine just manages to kill him.

Sometime later, Emily is preparing for school in her new life with Katherine. However, Emily's drawing of herself with Katherine has two heads, suggesting that she now also suffers from a split personality.

自从艾米丽(达科塔·范宁饰)的母亲艾莉森(艾米·欧文饰)显然是自杀之后，丧偶的心理学家大卫·卡拉威(罗伯特·德尼罗饰)和女儿艾米丽就搬家了。大卫和他女儿艾米丽的关系一直不好。大卫邂逅了当地女子伊丽莎白(伊丽莎白·舒伊饰)以及她的侄女艾米。艾米和艾米丽两人年龄相仿。为了使艾米丽能培养出新的友谊，大卫为她制定了一次玩伴约会。然而约会却被艾米丽划破艾米玩具娃娃的脸给破坏了。尽管约会并不成功，大卫和伊丽莎白还是一见如故，但艾米丽却以敌对的方式对待她。

这个家庭的朋友凯瑟琳(法米克·詹森饰)本身也是一名心理医生，为了帮助大卫来看望大卫和艾米丽，并和艾米丽谈起了她迷恋的查理，她唯一的、新的、虚构的朋友。后来，伊丽莎白再次登门，希望能和艾米丽和平相处。当艾米丽说她在跟查理玩捉迷藏时，伊丽莎白由着她，假装在寻找他。然而，却有人把伊丽莎白推出了窗外导致死亡。大卫问艾米丽是谁干的，她再次指责查理，说是查理“迫使她帮助他”。忧心如焚的大卫拿起一把刀，出了门，遇到了他的邻居。他以为他的邻居就是查理，用刀刺向了他，起了疑心的邻居报了警。

回到屋里，大卫发现，虽然他已经来过书房多次，但还从未打开过这些盒子。大卫意识到他人格分裂了，查理根本不是虚构的。查理是大卫自己。每每他研究时，查理就会出现，其实是查理在控制他。大卫也明白在查理人格的控制下，是他杀了妻子，然后伪装成自杀的样子。他也完全想起了妻子去世之前的那个晚上聚会的事情。他发现妻子背叛了他，引发了他的人格混乱。

变成查理的大卫大开杀戒。他凶狠地袭击了当地的警长，把他拖到地窖。艾米丽打电话让凯瑟琳赶来帮忙。结果她也遭到了查理的袭击，被扔进了警长所在的地窖。吓坏了的艾米丽设法逃出房子，查理挥舞着刀出去找她。于是她跑进地洞。凯瑟琳从遭到重伤的警长那里拿了他的枪，跟踪着查理进了地洞。查理装成大卫，承认了是自己出了问题，不是艾米丽有病。后来他继续凶狠地攻击凯瑟琳。就在查理威胁艾米丽时，凯瑟琳设法杀了他。

不久之后，艾米丽准备和凯瑟琳去学校开始她的新生活。然而在艾米丽的画中，自己和凯瑟琳有两个脑袋，暗示她现在也患有人格分裂。

John Polson Interviewed by Rebecca Murray

How do you tackle directing a screen legend like Robert De Niro?

You let him experiment. You let him play around. At first I was a little nervous, but after a day or two I thought, “I'm not doing him any favors staying away. I'd better give him some direction.” So I got in there.

The thing about him is that he likes to try things out and that's what the best artists do, I think. They try a lot of different things and you go back to the cutting room and try and make the scene work. And that's what I found really impressive about him. He's a risk-taker and he tried a lot of things, and lie didn't mind if it failed. Hopefully we looked after him in the cutting room.

How different was the character on script to what he brought to the role in the film?

It was kind of the same. You know, it was like it was a really interesting role for him. We know him in a certain way. He's played diverse characters but I don't know if he's played like a caring dad before. That was a really interesting team — teaming him up with Dakota(Fanning)and seeing them play off of each other around the dinner table and that sort of thing. I found it pretty fascinating to watch and I hope the audience loves it, too.

你怎样解决指挥像罗伯特·德尼罗那样的屏幕传奇人物?

你让他实验。你让他表演。起初我有点紧张，但一两天之后，我想，“我不能再继续置之不理，我最好给他一些方向。”于是我开始指导。

关于他的事情是，他喜欢尝试，那是最好的艺术家要做的事，我想。他们尝试很多不同的事情，你回到剪辑室，不断尝试着，让场面合意。我发现他真的令人印象深刻。他是一个承担风险的人，他尝试过很多事情，他并不介意失败。在剪辑室，我希望我们照顾他。

剧本中和电影中的这个角色有何不同?

基本是相同的。你知道，对他来说，这就像是个很有趣的角色。我们以某种方式了解他。他参演过各种不同的角色，但我不知道之前他是否扮演过一个充满爱心的父亲，那是个很有趣的团队，他和达科塔·范宁搭档。看到他们在餐桌旁互相嘲弄以及诸如此类的事。我发现它很能吸引人观看，我希望观众能很喜欢。

本片剧本是艾瑞·舒尔茨伯格的处女作，他在创作剧本时试图营造一种真正恐怖的气氛，于是他常常一个人在黑暗中写作，把自己想象成剧中角色，以亲身感受剧中人物的心理。同时美国北部高大茂密的树林赋予了在纽约成长的他丰富的想象力，为影片剧本增添了不少恐怖色彩。

制片方最初曾组织试镜活动物色扮演艾米丽的人选，因为导演约翰·波尔森希望找到第二个达科塔·范宁，安娜索菲亚·罗伯曾一度有望得到这个角色，但制片方最终还是选择了范宁。

2004年，为执导本片，导演约翰·波尔森首次无法出席由他亲手创办的Tropfest短片电影节。

20世纪福克斯公司70年来第一次将影片拷贝一分为二进行运送，以防有人透露出影片结局。为了进一步保证影片结局的高度保密，护送拷贝的保安须亲手将其交给影院。
