Review of The Hidden

The Hidden (1987)
7/10
A "b" movie that should not remain hidden.
7 July 2009
A cheesy science fiction/horror movie that has it all! Lots of kills, hot women, and a rather good body stealing plot which is a rarity for me to like as I usually do not care for the body invasion type movies. This one though does everything right considering it must have had a rather low budget and what not. A cop and an agent with a mystery team up to track down a killer alien that loves to swap out bodies and take new ones for a spin by killing and breaking the law. This alien brings the pain and after being shot repeatedly or when the body it is currently using gets to damaged it simply switches out to another host so it can continue the mayhem. The cops try to track it down, but it always finds a way out of trouble. The movie runs at a good pace and is rather exciting to watch, the budget shows at times as this film looks like it was made by one of those movie companies that does not exist anymore, still it has way more than enough to keep one entertained. You will recognize a couple of the stars as the lead guy was in a few movies in his day, the other movie role I know him from is "Dune". With this movie though you will get your share of shooting and stuff and it is well worth a look see, unlike the sequel which in fact should remain hidden for no one to chance upon again.
