The Hidden II
The Hidden II
The alien criminal from the first movie is dead, but he left a few eggs which are hatching now. The good alien, who still inhabits Tom Beck's 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 (now a cop) have deteriorated. But when the killing starts again, they will need to work together to stop the new generation of aliens.

My quick rating - 3.1/10. The first Hidden from 1987 was very good. If you haven't seen it, do so. It has a campy feeling to it in not taking itself seriously in the slightest. This movie follows the same story, sort of. The problem is that all the good that the first had is blown off. The first 10 minutes of this one are directly the last 10 minutes of the first in an attempt to draw you back in. Well, then it becomes a mess of attempts to capture the heavy metal love jokes, the host human body being overly aggressive for what he/she is on the outside, basically everything the original had in creativity is just lost. Even a fan such as myself is not going to get anything out of this. Even having Kate Hodge (co-star in Rapid Fire with Brandon Lee), whom I am a huge fan of (because of that role), couldn't save this one.
