Alien slug moves from body to body and makes its host steal cars and do insane GTA-style 5-star level suicide by cop rampages. Rockstar Games owes this movie royalties. Can not recommend highly enough.

Beautiful schlock about a difficult situation. The exact right tone for this premise. I won’t explain the premise to you because it’s better to go in raw. Don’t let the nerds convince you to put a “knowing the premise” condom on. It’s better this way.

It’s got some “baby’s first satire” beats with the senator but this movie rolls up its sleeves and does the hard work of straight-facing it’s own premise well enough that I found myself charmed rather than annoyed.

This is the role Kyle MacLachlan was born to play. Cannot imagine another actor handling this appropriately. That doesn’t mean he wasn’t also born to play Cooper. He was born for a lot of reasons. Most people are just born for the one (fucking) but MacLachlin is special. Possible his parents never fucked, much like a certain carpenter with good news for us all.

“He sees something he wants, he steals it. Something gets in his way, he kills it.” 

Jack Sholder’s cult classic The Hidden is a sweet sci-fi fusion of Invasion of the Body Snatchers and every other 80s buddy cop movie ever made, the only thing that sets it apart from the others is emotionless FBI agent Kyle MacLachlan wielding a flamethrower and looking damn fine while doing it. ☕️ 

Police shoot-outs, alien-to-human body hopping galore, stolen Ferrari’s, high speed car chases—the amount of people that get run over throughout the runtime is mind-boggling! The Hidden is endlessly fun and successfully succeeds at getting even more thrilling with every watch!
Plus I sure do love seeing MacLachlan in a suit driving a Porsche so this is an easy five-star genre masterpiece. Swoooon.

Solid. Weird ass shit including a dog staring hard in the mirror, gnarly grossness in a few moments, and most importantly, a stripper now a host to an alien who fucks a man to death before stealing his car and going on a chase with the cops nipping at her heels. did I say this shit was wild? Because it’s fucking wild and fun. I like the way it blends horror, sci-fi, and the buddy cop dynamic. This really worked for me in ways I wasn’t expecting.

Hey! Look! It’s Danny Trej—

Combining dozens of clichés from both action and sci-fi movies, The Hidden somehow makes everything work and is far better than it has any right to be. Part buddy cop movie, part body snatcher movie, all awesome.

If you even remotely dig 80's action movies you owe it to yourself to check this out. And the opening 15 minutes are so, so amazing that you don't even need to invest much time to see that I'm right. Hell, the opening shot will hook you.

Grade A Schlock. More basely competent than almost any mid-to-high budget sci-fi or action film of this century.
