This movie, in all it's silly cliche glory, takes itself very seriously. (At least each actor plays his character straight-forward and not "over the top.) It has a high body count, and the f-word is used to a maximum, but only in frustration after many bullets are fired and the alien still won't die. For sci-fi fans, this is an enjoyable thrill ride, with very honest special effects. (And mind you--this was be-FORE all this modern day computer-generated imagery.) It's low on sexual situations, so even your preteens will be able to share the scare and the adventure, if you expose them to violence. You shjould buy THIS DVD and avoid the one containing The Hidden, and Hidden 2. They don't fit together like the newer director intended.
This is a really entertaining movie with a great story and a cast of highly underrated actors hadn't seen it in years and it was just as good as I remembered it

The Hidden is an overlooked cult classic with an appropriate name. Great acting with a fast moving story.

I owned a copy of The Hidden on DVD in the early Nineties. I remembered the movie being good, but in my opinion, it has only improved with age. The pre-CGI special FX still look wonderful, and the humorous aspects play well now more than ever. I particularly enjoyed the editing and cinematography. This film is a brilliant homage to the B-movies that inspired it, Invasion of the Body Snatchers and The Thing in particular. The only reason that the film is so obscure is that no one has bothered to remake it (yet).

Saw this movie when it came out and got it on VHS tape, I`ve been looking for it on DVD, loved this movie, extreme action, violence not as bad as nowdays, but was good and I loved the actors, Kyle was excellent as the alien cop, he was very droll and loved the scenes with him recuperating from a hangover, the scenes with the alka-seltzer and the aspirins were priceless, of course nowdays that would be very boring but was perfect for that time.Plot:Alien comes to Earth and takes over bodies of Earthlings, good alien cop follows as bad alien killed his family and partner. Good alien meets Earthling cop and they hunt down bad alien who when he takes over Earthling bodies kills the host, so they try to stop him and he takes over good cops friend and chief and then a Congressman who is running for President, good cop is shot and in process of dying when good alien cop takes over his body so he can live with his wife and daughter, and that is when The Hidden II takes over(which sucked). The Hidden I is the best, you must watch it.Read full review
