Hide and Seek

DeNiro is Charlie. Dr. Callaway has a split personality. As "Charlie" he killed his wife and others. Emily (Dakota Fanning) knows about the two personalities and witnessed her mother's murder, but she plays along with her dad's dual identities in order to keep him from freaking out. Emily goes and lives with Famke Jensen's character and draws a picture of them, all playing happy family. but in the final shot, we see Emily has drawn herself with two heads (so now she has two personalities!)

Plot hole: In the end, when Charlie is advancing on Emily while turning his light on and off, the final time he turns it on, Kathrine is in front of Emily. How could she get there so fast without being heard? There's at least 4-5 inches of water that would make sneaking very hard.

Trivia: The tagline is "Come out, come out wherever you are." This is (arguably) also De Niro's most famous line from Cape Fear.

Question: During the climax, as Charlie is walking down the hall, he is saying something that sounds like quiet chanting. This is after he has finished singing 'Daddy's gonna buy you a Mockingbird'. Does anyone know what he's saying?

Answer: He keeps singing "mockingbird" over and over, but it is more of a mumbling by this point. Turn on the subtitles and you can see this.
