Hide and Seek (2005)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: John Polson
Starring: Robert De Niro, Famke Janssen, Elisabeth Shue, Dakota Fanning, Amy Irving
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!)

Trivia: During the opening credits, there are hidden messages within the names of the people who worked on the production, which are bolded out in red within the person's name. There are five of them, the words 'man', 'cat', 'see', 'red', and 'me'. All these have relevance to the plot.
Question: When Charlie first goes into the cave, he places Emily's music box on a plank of wood, and pushes it so that it floats along the small stream; why did he do that?
