Critics Sentiment
Helen terrorizes the diaper service saleswoman while Frank chases Anne
Anne makes several failed escape attempts while captive
The film recovers from its lowest point during Anne's frustrating escape attempts to peak with Helen's over-the-top diaper service scene, a 3.5 point swing that reviewers found both ridiculous and entertaining.
Hide and Seek starts with a promising premise and intense kidnapping but quickly deteriorates into contrived plotting and illogical character decisions. The film's salvation comes from Jennifer Tilly's wildly unhinged performance as Helen, which reviewers found both brilliant and absurdly over-the-top. Despite major flaws in logic and pacing, the movie maintains enough suspense and camp value to be considered an entertaining train wreck.
