Screening Log, May 2007

The Hidden
USA / 1987

A prime slice of mid 80’s B-schlock, with all that entails: great casting, daft action sequences, a few good one liners, some gooey effects and a plot that makes almost no sense. The whole thing feels like a weird precursor to Twin Peaks- Kyle McLachlan basically plays Cooper from space, and his grudgeful cop sidekick looks like a more chiseled Michael Ontkean. You’ve even got Hank Jennings shooting up the place in the opening scenes. The character work is actually pretty strong, and there’s a shootout in a police station that nearly rivals The Terminator.

    I’ve always loved this movie. Sure, it’s cheezetastic, but it’s consistently horrific, sexy and just plain weird!

    Claudia Christian provides a lot of the sexy, but most of the victims throughout the film convey the sadistic zombie vibe well enough to provide non-stop heebie-jeebies.

    Too much fun!
