Emily M I mean it's okay but kinda of cheesy. Kyle played okay in his character but it wasn't compared to when he played in Twin Peaks. So I mean you can watch it but don't expect it to be great lol. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/30/24 Full Review Jay H A great action/sci-fi hybrid. It moves fast and it's never boring. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/21/24 Full Review Alec B I do sort of appreciate the frenzied narrative as it can be fun when these kinds of movies don't take themselves too seriously. However it does mean that you have to keep a certain high energy pace and I just don't think "The Hidden" does that. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/24 Full Review DanTheMan 2 Rockstar Games definitely owes some form of royalties to Jack Sholder. The Hidden is a fantastically unique and wickedly fun piece of genre cinema, under the guise of a routine 80s buddy cop police thriller it pulls the rug out from under you very early on and continues at full speed like a Ferrari with a psycho killer at the wheel. With the right tone to draw you into its premise, as unstintingly violent as it is crudely ingenious, it is sleek, reckless and smoothly effective. Kyle MacLachlan excels at playing lone outsider Gallagher, it almost feels like a precursor to his role as Dale Cooper in Twin Peaks. Backed by his excellent chemistry with Michael Nouri's Beck the duo is a fun watch as Beck slowly comes to realise this isn't just another homicide case. Directed with swift assurance by Sholder and powered by a driving rock score courtesy of Michael Convertino, The Hidden is a well-constructed, endlessly entertaining minor classic, with a frenetic pace, punchy action, underlying sci-fi premise and ingenious story, this sci-fi thriller more than worthy of your time. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/05/23 Full Review Audience Member An alien invasion movie influenced by the Ronald Reagan era It blends high speed chases, alien sci-fi body horror, and social satire A visual gag or a quick one-liner breaks the tension thanks to Sholder's direction He keeps the pedal pressed to the floor, the pace of its plot unspooling is relentless… and breathtaking, every moment is exciting and thrilling Both MacClachlan and Nouri share palpable chemistry Serves as a stand-in for American citizens affected by 1980's consumerism whether it was the lure of heavy rock, sex, drugs and rock n roll Also has a surprising amount of heart to go with especially the ending A true crackerjack action vehicle packed with provocative ideas and all the excess of the 1980's Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/30/23 Full Review Darren D The Hidden (1987) is a lot of fun, think "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" but they decided to be noisy about it with loud music, stealing fast cars & a lot of blood spuibs. Mean & darkly comedic sci-fi action from the 80's. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
