I can understand what director K C Bascome was trying to create, but it didn't quite hit the target, at least for me.

All the characters were very well delivered, the acting was excellent in that context . . . but the character development was overdone, and at a certain point it just became laboriously slow and plodding.

It's unfortunate, because with tighter directing and more overall plot cohesion, this could have been a fine piece of work, but the film doesn't quite get there.

The ending in particular seems to be uncoordinated, almost as if thrown together ad lib during the final editing. Perhaps the original script / screen play had elements that weren't effectively communicated.

In summary, great concept, excellent acting . . . but overall, the film itself just didn't deliver the potential that this film could have been.

For any Hide fans out there, sorry folks, that's my honest opinion.

If your like me and you liked Tarantinos NBK, but felt there should've been more roaming the road slaughtering the road killing people then you'll like this film. it borrows from that and other movies, but instead of telling why the woman kills it gets more into why the guys the killer. The movie has enough twists and turns that it goes full circle. The acting was good and the writer tried to get the witty dialog that is known for Tarantinos films but just doesn't nail it.

Who can forget the opening scene of step-father with the stereo-typical clean cut suburban father grooming himself in the mirror. then walks down stairs to the bloody aftermath of the mayhem he caused downstairs. Well imagine that same scene in a road-house diner, thats how the movie starts. The next scene, while his gun-moll seduce a "GoB" for murder you see the guy sidle up to a Rabid dog and have a monologue about the killer inside you. you don't know if he's talking about himself or the girl but you'll find out shortly.

In 1994, while working as a waiter in a trendy Hollywood restaurant, aspiring filmmaker K.C. Bascombe was retrieving a frozen dish from the walk-in freezer, when the place was raided and shut down by the city of Los Angeles, after apparently making the mistake of serving Barbara Streisand her main entrée before she was finished with the teaser. (Babs hates that.)

Accidentally locked in the freezer, he's trapped in a state of suspended animation for fourteen long years. Miraculously, when K.C. is thawed out, he's still alive and full of movie ideas.

After a quickie lawsuit against the city, he obtains the funds to finance the quintessential early-nineties independent film, the story of a murderous, philosophical dirt-bag who take off in his 1960's convertible, on a nicotine fueled crime-spree across the truck-stops and greasy-spoon diners of the southwest, with his loud, over-sexed hick girlfriend, who likes to shout, "You sweet on me!" to greasy, fat rednecks before flipping out and offing them.

The problem with KC's script was that time had passed him bye. His ideas, that were once so hip and fresh, had been squeezed of all their potential in the years that he'd been away.

At his wits end, he summoned the help of others, writers more experienced in the modern ways of screen-writing. Those men helped KC a lot, introducing new concepts to the hopelessly behind-the-times filmmaker, modern concepts like having no real action or suspense in the film and adding mindless torture in order to give pimply-faced geeks a chubby.

With the screenplay finished, KC was quite excited. He immediately suggested to the casting director that the two leads should be filled by Woody Harrelson (that funny guy from "Cheers") and Juliette Lewis (whom he loved in Kalifornia), only to be nervously told that those two already made a film together and besides, they're both a bit too old these days. After all, it's been fourteen years!

KC then suggested Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette, prompting the casting director to quit.

With no famous actors in the leading roles, KC soldiered forward with an actor and actress who mimicked Woody and Juliette quite nicely, filming his movie, which he called Hide, and eventually releasing it on DVD.

"What's a DVB?", asked KC, who's last memories of home video were of 1994, videocassettes, and Blockbuster Video.

"It's called a DV-D.", replied the distributor. "It's like a tiny laser-disc!"

And so it was released, prompting sarcastic a--holes like myself much merriment, as it was just too derivative of about a million other movies (Wild At Heart, Kalifornia, True Romance, Pulp Fiction, Natural Born Killers, The Road Killers, Love And A .45, Freeway) from the early to mid-nineties.

However, it's mindless scenes of torture, as well as it's excessive heavy-petting, did give pimply-faced geeks across America plenty of Chubbies!

THE END

When had time to do as the ending suggest. Don't want to spoil by saying.

Hide is different than you would expect from Christian Kane. It is really dark, but it shows how versatile of an actor he truly is. The man can do anything and do it exceptionally well. I would recommend this movie to all fans of Christian Kane but be prepared as it is violent and has a twist. You should watch Her Minor Thing with Christian Kane and then Hide to see how truly amazing he is. You may need to watch Hide more than once before it all makes sense as I missed a few things the first time. Christian Kane truly deserves much more recognition than he has received as he puts his heart and soul into everything he does and it shows.

Hide was a very unique film; a mixture of both Romance and Horror. The actors were excellent (especially Christian Kane and Rachel Miner--a lot of chemistry) and they were what really made the film. The beautiful and desolate scenery in Argentina definitely added to the overall effect. The only problem with the movie (if it can be called a problem) is the convolution at the ending. It becomes a little difficult to follow near the end, but with a great deal of attention it is understandable. Of course, there is nothing wrong with a movie that forces you to think about it… All and all I think it is definitely worth seeing; Not a cookie-cutter movie.

I just watched it for a second time. Christian is so compelling. Was going to stop before it got to the end but I watched all the way through. Picked up a few things missed the first time. This is very dark compared to what I normally watch but was worth it.

I found this movie intense and riveting. Christian Kane and Rachel Miner brought real talent into this and made characters that came to life. Complex, twisted, woven threads that leave you in suspense until you see where they are connected. I loved it. I will be watching it over and over until I get it all figured out.

If you like sweet, cotton candy fluff, happy endings, Action movies where the good guys always win, then you probably wont like this movie.

But, if you like storylines that pull you in and capture your curiousity, tangled webs, suspense, drama and exvellent acting,This is a movie for you to watch.
