Film Review - The Hidden (1987)


The Hidden stars Kyle McLachlan as Lloyd Gallagher, an FBI agent from Seattle who comes to LA to work with a local cop to investigate a series of bizarre murders happening in the area, but things are so much more than what they seem.

The Hidden is a highly entertaining and very exciting sci-fi action film, with its story being a spin on the classic Body Snatchers, the action here is extremely well handled, starting with a fantastic opening chase and going from there to several bloody gun fights, and yet none of it feels overdone or overlong, just short, sweet and right to the point.

You know, as I was watching this two things kept coming to mind, one was how everything felt real and not done on some green screen or blue screen stage and the other was that it reminded me of just how shitty today's action films really are, if you can find a copy of this one to watch, I highly suggest you do so, 3 and a half out of 5.
