The Hidden

Look up and look OUT because it’s SPACED INVADERS Month at Mondo Mondays!

How do you stop a seemingly unstoppable extra-terrestrial killer who can possess senior citizens, cops, and strippers at will?   We’re not sure, but the solution has to start with Kyle MacLachlan! In the gloriously action-packed sci-fi/horror meltdown, The Hidden, a series of bizarre, inexplicable robberies and murders have L.A. police detective Tom Beck (Michael Nouri, Flashdance) totally baffled. And it doesn’t help when mysterious FBI agent Lloyd Gallagher (MacLachlan, Twin Peaks) tells him that a demonic extraterrestrial creature is invading the bodies of innocent, law-abiding victims – and transforming them into inhuman killers with an unearthly fondness for heavy-metal music, red Ferraris and unspeakable violence! This high-velocity valentine to 1980s Los Angeles plays out like a twisted combo of Invasion of the Body Snatchers and The Terminator, and that dream you had about what Agent Dale Cooper’s life was like before Twin Peaks!  Featuring laughs, rocket-fueled brutality and a total disregard for human life, along with stellar supporting turns from Claudia Christian, Clu Gulager, and Danny Trejo, The Hidden is an ‘80s genre gem filled with thrills, kills and slithering space slugs, from the director A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge! (Dir. by Jack Sholder, 1987, USA, 97 mins, Rated R)
