this was one of the first movies i remember seeing and loving as a kid. rewatching it was momentous and the alien spider thing crawling out of peoples mouths was just as creepy and nonsensical.

When there is an action sci-fi mixed bag with Kyle MacLachlan as the lead, you will have a blockbuster on your hands right? I think not, but this isn't a total waste of time if you like 80s buddy cop type movies.
There is a sci-fi concept behind the story, but overall, the movie feels like a crime thriller. Most of the film deals with detective work, but there is quiet a bit of action in here. Right at the beginning of the film, you are thrown into a pretty good car chase, which ends in a frenzy of bullets. From here on out the 90 minutes goes by rather quickly.
As far as the rest of the action goes, there are a lot of shootouts and a couple of decent car chases. There is nothing special about any of this, except for the cheap CG laser, but you need to remember that this is 80s action. With that said, it is OK. You get your share of blood and swearing too.
Another good element of the film is the changing of the villain. Throughout the film, there are 6 different actors that play the bad guy and this really does keep the villain fresh.
The acting is OK at best. It's difficult to say that Kyle MacLachlan actually pulls off the lead, since he and Michael Nouri seem like equals when it comes to character development and airtime. As far as the supporting cast goes, you can't go wrong with a young Claudia Christian strutting her stuff around. Don't forget to be on the lookout for a Danny Trejo cameo.
This is one of those films that you can live without seeing, but if you are flipping through the channels, don't be afraid to leave this on.

MCT:April 16, 2008Unless Danny Trejo is the serial killer in question (and he's not, who would believe him as a stock broker) then I won't view this silly tripe.

MCT:March 25, 2008Hidden is a rare 80's beast.
Alien body swaping film with action and gore with a great 80's rock music. Has dated since 1987 but that what must it a little more special.Worth checking out if you havn't seen it. -
MCT:January 25, 2008Claudia Christian stands out as a possesed Stripper in high heels (Oh My...). Worth a look for the action...
-
MCT:January 5, 2008Quite silly Alien / The Thing hybrid which although marred by sluggish directing. The acting and the storyline was bad.

Even though it's poorly made, it's a hilarious 80's B-cult movie. One of the silliest sci-fi movies I have ever seen, definitely gave me a new appreciation for the 80's. The premise is absolutely amazing. I had a great time watching this film.

My dad got me to watch this movie. I was kinda kinda out of left field when I saw the ending. I have to admit when I saw it, that was the only time when I became really interested...then it was over and I was pissed.
Don't remember it well enought in order to rate it. -

Bonne fiction. L'image est excellente. Les acteurs géniales. Une fiction pour les mordus de l'invraisemblable. Kyle MacLachlan est parfait pour se genre de role.

It killed 37 people, robbed 6 banks, 2 liquor stores, a record shop, and stole 2 Ferraris. Now the fun starts. It just took over a police station.
I first watched this film when I was nine, so I have a rather soft spot for it. (I believe I gave it a higher rating than it really deserves. 3.5 stars sounds about right). I thought it was genius at the time, even though it scared the shit out of me back then.
Re-watching it now, it's a decent, action sci-fi with some very cheesy dialogue. It works if watched as a cultish B-movie. I thought it had a cool premise, involving an alien parasite that can enter its host and assume its identity. The interesting touch is that this interstellar bug digs Ferrari's, has a taste for hard rock music, and literally does whatever it wants while killing anyone that stands in its way. I like how the alien has it's own identity and asserts it through its hosts, kind of like a twisted version of Freaky Friday.
Btw, that DVD cover looks horrendous. -
MCT:May 19, 2007A very cool science fiction film. An alien who is on Earth can take over a human body and it is up to a L.A. cop and a mysterious F.B.I. agent to stop the creature. This movie rock!

Very cool alien movie. An alien cop is chasing an alien criminal that has a taste for metal music, fast cars & jumps from body to body as he exhausts the life from the human forms he steals. Great!

A forgotten B-movie gem full of faces that will be familiar to fans of the TV series Twin Peaks. An alien criminal who can inhabit the bodies of his victims comes to earth pursued by alien cop Kyle McClachlan. He grudgingly teams up with a local cop to hunt down the seemingly indestructable foe who can move from body to body when he becomes too damaged. The opening scene of a gleeful villain robbing a bank and racing off in a stolen Ferrari (taking the time to send a wheelchair bound old man flying through the air in the process) sums up the film as a whole. Fast-paced, funny, daft and massive fun.

I like scary movies that have humor - how could you not like an alient that inhabits human bodies and loves fast cars, sex and violence?

This sci-fi thriller was decent for the time. It's most noted for having one of the best car chases ever put on film.

If this is The Hidden I think it is, its a good sci-fi flick with the alien entering people through their mouths.
