What exactly happens in the movie Hide and Seek? I want a fairly detailed and comprehensible answer (so anyone who wants to say 'wel dey hav a scari tyme n its rli rli CoOl lOl yu shud WaTcH iT OMG haha', don't bother answering) as I am a wimp and want to avoid nasty suprises. I'm watching it at Halloween and no I don't mind if you ruin the plot/movie/ending...that's the whole point of this question! :)

THIS MOVIE IS VERY CONFUSING!!
Well at the beginning there was this little girl that had just moved into a new house far away from where she used to live (dakota fanning). She woke up one night at exactly 2:00 am and she saw her mom dead in the bathtub. Then her father woke had seen too. The next morning their next door neighbor comes to welcome them to the neighborhood. And the neighbor was a woman and her daughter. Well dakota doesn't likke the girl very much, but has to try to be friends with her because her father thinks thats best for her. Well the woman starts to talk to dakotas father more and they become close. The next night at 2:00 am she goes to the bathroom and sees writen in blood "you're next". Well the next morning the woman next door and dakotas father meet outside of dakotas backyard. The little girl (nextdoor) stands by her mother while the woman next door speaks to dakotas father. Dakota goes into the woods by her backyard. This is when she meets her imaginary friend, charlie. (just to let you know somehow she becomes friends with an imaginary friend charlie which dakota says makes her do wrong thing... turns out charlie is her father)Well she goes to sleep and her father wakes up sometime around 9:00 am and sees their cat and blood in the bathtub. He wakes dakota up. She says her friend charlie told her to do it. After some days go by the woman next door comes to dakotas house. Dakotas father thinks they should bond. Well dakota takes her to her room and she doesnt talk much. The woman asks her to play a game. Dakota says "how about a game of hide and seek"? Well dakota hides in the closet and when the woman opens the closet door, dakota scares the hell out of her and the poor woman falls out of the window. Dead. Well then after a few weeks (sorry i dont remember all of it) dakota and her imaginary friend, charlie, play hide and seek. Inside the closet there's a secret door that leads to her basement. She hides there. All the sudden she screams and her father rushes to see what happened. She says charlie scared me. And then they get back out of the closet. Her father says dakota im charlie. He takes a hammer and chases her around, threatening to kill her. It all leads in the woods, where there is a cave sort of thing. Dakota goes there with her flashlight. she stabs her father (i think...maybe it was with a gun). He dies. Then dakota finds this music box. She goes back to her room she has drawing of charlie. She would always show her father and some firefighters really bad drawing of charlie. Well she goes to sleep at her new house with one of her fathers close friends. She wakes up at 2:00 am and has a little picture of what happened in her head. She sees her father cuts the back of her dead mothers neck in the bathtub, him writing your next, and him killing the cat.
