The Hidden is a rather obscure 1980's sci-fi/action film, starring Michael Nouri and Kyle MacLachlan, of "Twin Peaks" and "Showgirls" fame. Here he plays Lloyd Gallagher, an FBI agent who arrives in the city and is immediately paired up with Tom Beck (Michael Nouri) to tackle a bizarre event that seems to be happening. Normal, everyday people who no connection have all seemingly turned into psychopathic monsters, killing anyone who gets in their way.
It turns out they do have a connection, in that they all become inhabited by an alien with a penchant for violence and Ferraris. Will Beck and Gallagher be able to stop the alien before yet more lives are lost?
I bought this because of a recommendation on a forum I visit. I don't think I'd heard of it before, but I'm willing to give anything a try. After watching "The Hidden", I thought it was Ok, but not as good as other films that have been recommended to me.
I thought it was rather slow in places, with too much focus on the two cops not really doing anything. The music was a little off as well, e.g. they were using very tense music where nothing exciting was really happening. Maybe the scene they were using it in was supposed to be high on tension, but I just didn't feel it.
The ending I wasn't keen on either, it felt like a bit of a cop out. There were good moments though, the chase scenes with various sports cars were exciting, and Nouri and MacLachlan seemed to have a good chemistry together, I just felt it was lacking something. I realize I'm in the minority here, as a lot of people loved it, but I just couldn't get into it that much. I still think it's an above average film, still worth 3 1/2 stars and would recommend it for any sci-fi action fan, or indeed anyone who likes chase scenes with sports cars like Ferrari's and Porsche's.
