Something hideous is changing law-abiding citizens into monstrous, hyper-violent psychopaths. A series of bizarre, inexplicable robberies and murders have L.A. police detective, Tom Beck (Michael Nouri) totally baffled.

Belting Stuff - The Hidden review by sb

Spoiler Alert
19/08/2022

Wonderfully demented 80's sci-fi cop thriller which opens with a ferocious bank robbery followed by an even more ferocious car chase through LA.

The suspect survives despite being shot numerous times and its revealed in hospital that he is carrying a slug like alien parasite which he passes onto the next person to continue the murderous rampage.

Local LA cop Beck (Noiri) has no idea what is causing all this carnage and is less than pleased when he gets partnered by a rookie FBI man Gallagher (Maclaughlin) - especialy when it appears that Gallagher knows far more than he is letting on.

Meanwhile the destruction builds with a stripper becoming the next carrier (Cristian who would go on to become one the leads in Babylon 5).

The action is unrelenting and its shot through with a sly humour with Maclaughin's deadpan FBI man an almost dry run for Agent Cooper in Twin peaks.

Terrible 80's hair and fashion add to the charm as does the pounding rock soundtrack (car chase with Anthrax on the stereo? - check)

an absolute blast throughout - 4/5
