A waste of 90 minutes of my life

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

I have to admit, I watched 'Hideaway' because I had quite high expectations of Jeremy Sisto playing the evil guy. And it has to be said, he is fun watching in his role of Vassago. His angelic looks combined with being a 'very bad boy' is an enjoyable combination (especially when he is taking a shower ;-) ). But enough praises for being sexy.Goldblum's performance is also fine. I was less convinced though about Lindsey Harrison, but it might also be that the plot just wasn't really on her hands. The dialogs were often pretty unconvincing and annoying. But the worst part of the movie was the incredibly cheesy end. As soon as the battle between good and bad started, my jaw dropped and I could only laugh. It wasn't all that good till that point, but the end really ruined everything that was still left of the movie. It's not that we are talking about the ineffectiveness of the still young era of computer effects, it was just.. all... just..... yes, terribly, terribly cheesy. If the script would have been better worked out, with better dialogs and a better pace, I might have given it a 6 or 7. But without that dialog and a better pace, and with an ending like this, I can not come up with more then a 4.

If you've read the book you would die seeing this movie. It was grossly misrepresented as being from Dean Koontz novel, he actually fought to have his name removed from the title after screening it. The most fundamental part of the book is the character of Regina, who was a innocent, wise-cracking 12 year old. She represented a pure, loving spirit, all that Vassago despised...she certainly was not a teenage sex pot. What a waste of an amazing blueprint for a film. The book, taken word for word would've made a fantastic movie, a real suspenseful thriller, not the low brow, pathetic drivel the studio made of it. Hopefully someone with talent and vision can find a way to make a movie, truly based on the book with Dean Koontz seal of approval, because I would love to see it.

I see the movie here in Monterrey and like too very much ...the movie offers an good approach about the moment of dead and the consequences of human acts, maybe no like to every body but have a good special effects and the director offer a different perspective of the God and Devil struggle.Hideaway offers a good suspense from the beginning and mix the lives of the actors very well, good photography and f/x, the movie have some nudity but no too strong.Hideway is a rare movie from Jeff Goldblum between Jurassic Park and Independence Day, have a good story with some of terror and classic thriller sequences.

I just watched this on video. Looking at the video box, I remembered looking at the video box before, but I didn't remember seeing it before. I remember seeing it before now, though. Not a good sign. I can honestly, then, say this movie is forgettable.It starts with a young man in a house, with two women who appear to be praying silently. He goes up into a small room in which he has a lot of candles lit, newspaper clippings, and things written on the wall in red. He impales himself on a knife. A man runs into the house, and finds his wife and daughter are not praying, they're dead and posed, and he then finds his dead son. In a CGI scene, the dead son's soul or whatever (his translucent face, and a vague indication of his body) is traveling through colorful tunnels. It's pretty laughably bad.From that happy family, we go to Jeff Goldblum and his wife Christine Lahti on vacation with their daughter, Alicia Silverstone. They're corny, and their daughter finds them annoying. They get into a car accident on the way home, and Goldblum drowns or nearly drowns. He goes through the same sort of tunnels, but he also sees his other daughter who had died sometime in the past calling to him. It's pretty laughable too.Alfred Molina brings Goldblum back to life, but Goldblum starts having visions of himself killing young women. He also finds that when he injures himself, the injuries heal up almost instantly (that was never explained). Goldblum worries for the safety of his daughter, who the killer takes an interest in.In the end, there's a big CGI battle between good and evil. It's pretty corny too, and it's not just a matter of the now-dated special effects.
