The Hidden (1987)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
There is a sudden spurt in the crime spree in Los Angeles where normal law-abiding people are suddenly showing signs of unexplained violence. An FBI Agent and a local cop investigating the case find out that an alien parasite is behind the crimes. It can possess human bodies and is instrumental in the murders and robberies taking place. They slowly close in on the vicious intruder, but time is running out as the city faces a threat like never before!<\/p>\n
This movie is often dubbed as a run-of-the-mill B-grade sci-fi horror thriller that seeks to excite with a high body count. The judgment might be partially true, but it still ranks among the most intense films in this genre. With a plot that has been used multiple times, the movie banks on the carefully drawn-up characters and their chemistry. The scenes that show normal people being transformed into murderous machines are absolute nail-biters.<\/p>\n
We have some remarkable acting performances by Kyle MacLachlan and Michael Nouri to make things even better. This movie has a wonderful balance of creepy scenes and funny moments that make for a great experience. There is a fair amount of blood and gore, but nothing that a fan of such movies can\u2019t handle! In fact, there is something interesting about the way the movie tells you the exact body count.<\/p>\n
For instance, in the first scene where five killings take place, the camera points to a mark that says 5th<\/sup> Street. For all such moments, it is either the elevator floor selected or the hospital room number that tells you about the body count! In a nutshell, this movie has deservingly got itself to the status of a cult-classic and is a must-watch if you want some quick-fire entertainment.<\/p>\n
