"Hidden II" gets off on the wrong foot by beginning with a 15-minute (!) recap of the ending of the first film, and never really finds it footing after that. This time the evil alien organism can survive and move around even without a host, and in human form it is outfitted with Freddy Krueger-type one-liners (not good ones, though). The film is so visually murky that it's often a struggle to see who is even in a scene, never mind what they are doing. Kate Hodge's beauty (she's underrated) and a few slimy special effects are its only assets. *1/2 out of 4.
