Sadly Over-hyped

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

It seems obvious these reviewers are biased and haven't seen the film before they dare to criticize it. The story continues from The Hidden 1987 film. The alien criminal from the first movie is dead, but he left a few eggs which are hatching now. The good alien (Lloyd Gallagher), who still inhabits Tom Beck's Michael Welden body, has been waiting just in case this happened. Unfortunately, his presence in the body has taken a terrible toll on it, draining it of life energy. Additionally relations with Beck's daughter Juliet (Kate Hodge) (now a cop) have deteriorated (possibly due to his bizarre behavior caused by the alien inhabiting inside his father). But when the killing starts again, they will need to work together to stop the new generation of aliens.Seth Pinsker directs this film competently. The actors do their jobs well. The script which is also written by both Jim Kouf and Seth Pinsker is well done. The background music score is also good.All in all: a worth addition and excellent sequel. Buy both The Hidden and The Hidden 2 for your collection.

This is a scary sequel that exceeded all my expectations. It's a scary romp. The acting is good, as are the special effects. The story is unusual and the frights are balanced out by some good tongue in cheek humor.

This movie starts out fine because the first 10 minutes just replays the final of the original movie. But then all of a sudden the acting becomes really bad, so this must be the movie proper. Just to really let you know that this is going to be a very different movie they kill off everyone who survived the original in the next ten minutes. Then they don't know where to take the viewer and decide to just have the actors read out the script without any acting involved. To make it more easy for them everything is set in dark surroundings, so you can't see there not acting involvedPlease stay clear of this movie, because this is a real stinker..

This just may be the worst movie I've ever seen. Sequels usually don't live up to the original movies, but I sure didn't expect this. I can't think of enough words to describe it--awful, ghastly, horrible, hideous, monstrous. It has nothing to recommend it "The Hidden" was a stylish and intelligent thriller. Somebody should find a way to retro-abort this thing.
