Movie Reviews of The Hidden
Movie Review: Sci-Fi Campy Fun - 1980s Style
Summary: 4 Stars
I had never heard of THE HIDDEN. When my husband put it on last night, I thought "What is this, a cheesy shoot`em up cop flick? A `B' horror movie?" But I have to admit, I quickly changed my tune. THE HIDDEN is all of those things, and much, much more. In fact, I really enjoyed this movie.
In THE HIDDEN, law abiding citizens are suddenly going on wild, violent killing sprees and then turning up dead. There is a pattern to these outbreaks; they started up north in Washington, have made their way through Oregon, and are now happening in LA. An LA cop and an FBI agent team up to catch the latest killer and put an end to all the bloodshed. But, there is something else going on here, something more than meets the eye. Something is very, very wrong, and it must be stopped. Immediately.
THE HIDDEN is bloody, violent, with innumerable chase scenes. It has a campy, well-worn plot. The special effects, well, they aren't, not even for the `80s. And the hair...you gotta love the hair. But THE HIDDEN is very entertaining and just plain fun. The twist at the end is suspected, but plays out a bit differently than originally thought.
THE HIDDEN is a hidden gem. If you like cop thrillers, B-movies, sci-fi, or enjoyable, light evenings at home, try THE HIDDEN.
Summary of The Hidden
A demonic extraterrestrial creature is invading bodies of innocent victims and transforming them into inhuman killers with an unearthly fondness for heavy-metal music red ferraris and unspeakable violence. Special features: commentary by director jack sholder and tim hunter and much more. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 09/26/2006 Starring: Kyle Maclachlan Michael Nouri Run time: 98 minutes Rating: R Director: Jack Sholder/tim HunterThere's a power-mad space slug slithering among (and through) the innocent citizens of L.A., and it's up to a hardboiled cop and a detective from way up north to stop it in this wonderfully straight-faced sci-fi action flick. The basic plot may be nothing new, but this remains one of the most underrated testosterone fests of the '80s, with a plethora of amazing stunts (there are more expensive cars smashed here than in the entire oeuvre of Hal Needham), characterizations far beyond the call of duty by Michael Nouri and the otherworldly Kyle MacLachlan, and a startlingly creepy denouement. Babylon 5's Claudia Christian has a memorable role as a stripper with a high-caliber fetish. Essential viewing for audiences in the mood for something slimy. --Andrew Wright
