the hidden

I don't know if I missed it, but I wan't to read what someone else thought of the movie "The Hidden"
This is the best I can do.
It is about this alien who (really nasty worm/something) that takes over bodies.
It gets in side your body through your  mouth. you know which bodies because the person is always licking their lips. It even jumped into a dog!! again the lip licking.
Then this other alien(light being) who also has to take over someones body , is after the first alien for killing his partner back on his own planet.
The best thing about this  movie is the cars!!!
The alien has really good taste and will only go after the best ,and the  fastest cars. Even the "good alien" who jumped into the body of a police officer.    they also made a 2nd movie. I watched it, but it was so bad I can't remember it!!

If it is on here somewhere please let me know!!
thanks.

Unfortunately, this site doesn't have a The Hidden review (as of this post).

You can find other revies of the movie here

That link, incidentally , does lead to more information on the film itself, if you're interested.

THE HIDDEN shouldn't be reviewed on this site. It's a good movie! Seriously, it's one of the most overlooked sci-fi films of the 80s and you'll find most people who have seen it really liked it.

"THE HIDDEN shouldn't be reviewed on this site. It's a good movie!"

So is Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead .  Both are here. :-)

The Hidden is a very "bad ass" movie. The mere thought of the alien traveling from one body to another made you want to keep your mouth shut for awhile after you watched it.

I am sure that when Andrew gets the chance he will add this movie to the site. A movie doesn't have to be bad to be on this site, it can be "bad" and be on this site. I love all of his reviews and he does a good job.

"The Hidden" is a very good movie, and yes, it should bee here, because, you know, this page is both about bad movies and B movies, and certainly "The Hidden" fits in the cathegory.

I agree on your thoughts about the sequel, only the first minutes are watchable, and that's because they are mainly footage taken from the original.

Hey thanks to Cullen. I went on the the web site and I couldn't believe Ebert actually liked the film. He never likes the same movies I do!!  If he gave it 2 thumbs down I normally liked it.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that liked the movie. I just can't believe its was in 1987!! how time sure flies. I have the actual movie. one of my sisters friends rented it from her job and never brought it back. wow if she brought it back now, can you imagine the fee!!!

The Hidden came out three years after Terminator.  

You can get a ton of questions answered about movies ove at the IMDb.  

Be careful, though.  Like many other refrence sources, the IMDb does make mistakes.  Sometimes big ones.  However, the dates and the cast lists are usually good.
