The Hidden (1987)

Films and the critics who hate them (741 movies items)

"A jokey sci-fi horror movie about the desperate pursuit of a vile ''thing'' from outer space. - Vincent Canby, New York Times Too predictable, and even though wickedly fun at times, it's only halfway as awesome as it might have been. - Peter Stack, San Francisco Chronicle"

Favourite Movies Seen in 2012 (10 movies items)

" I love pictures with an '80s vibe. I love when horror, action, comedy, and science fiction are combined. I love when aliens occupy human bodies and act weirdly, freaking out everyone around them. This picture has all of those ingredients. "The Thing", "Starman", "They Live", and "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" covered similar ground, but "The Hidden" is different from all of them. It has a surprising amount of imagination, wicked humour, and heart. I liked it as much as any of those spirit"

" OK, because I don't have a cult classic section. This film is here. This was a wonderful, very low budget special effects sci-fi action film. Despite the era and the budget it actually managed to not be half as cheesy as I thought it was going to be. Sure, the ending was wildly predictable but still a solid piece of entertainment."

"The Hidden has some really good human versus alien shootouts, car chases, and strangeness in the guise of Kyle MacLachlan. Not a great movie, but a fun movie. Give it a watch, you won't be bored. "
