🎥The Hidden (1987) not bad, not good, watchable. Too much shooting, screaming, and loud music but the story is interesting - not as original as some think and Kyle McLaghlan is always worth a watch.

The Hidden (1987) to be fair the hiding ‘they’ did was not very good.

therealfilmcricket.wordpress.com/2026/07/03/t...
