The Hidden is hands down the best movie ever made about a homicidal alien slug that oozes from human host to human host.

The Hidden is a textbook example of how a B-movie can transcend its origins and budgetary constraints through craft, imagination, and all-around resourcefulness. Shifting genres almost as often as its villain changes bodies, it's at once an enormously effective thriller, a smart exercise in science fiction, an exciting action movie, and a kinetic dark comedy.

Powered by a driving rock score, this is by turns sleek, reckless, and smoothly effective, like a Ferrari with a psycho killer at the wheel.

A sleeper that talks like a thriller and walks like a thriller, but has more brains than the average thriller.

This is a rare kind of pulp; it's boisterously destructive, funny and, at the same time, almost serene.

An exciting mix of science fiction, cop thriller, and buddy film, The Hidden is one of the most exciting and unique genre hybrids.

The polish and unpretentiousness of The Hidden are enough to suggest Don Siegel's original 1956 Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and there are few compliments in horror films higher than that. [30 Oct 1987, p.41C]

The Hidden is a well-constructed thriller, directed with swift assurance by Jack Sholder, brought down by an utterly conventional sci-fi ending.

The movie is mostly a series of automobile chases through Los Angeles, but there is also some humor.

If The Hidden were less obvious, it might have been a zinger of a sci-fi action flick. But this cinematic presentation, now available on home video, is too predictable, and even though wickedly fun at times, it's only halfway as awesome as it might have been.
