The Hidden - Simply a great little B-movie

There's very little I can say about `The Hidden' which isn't gushing praise. When cult sci-fi films are being discussed, you always hear talk of `Alien' or `The Thing,' yet The Hidden never seems to get a mention. I always find that surprising as it's so good and yet so simple. No complex plots here - just an easy-to-follow bad alien being hunted down by a good alien.

There's nothing much to say about it because it's just so much fun. If you like horror, action, or sci-fi, then you really should see this film. It has all of those elements, wrapped up in a simple plot with simple special effects and simplistic performances from its actors.

Just sit back, grab the popcorn and enjoy. But only if you have a strong stomach, as some of the scenes can be pretty violent.

I'm giving it a 9/10 as it's just an absolute retro-fave of mine.

In reality, it's probably more of an 8/10 for most people. My guilty pleasure.
