The Hidden
“It's only human on the outside...”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 50, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A detective's new federal partner seems almost as peculiar as the violent people they are pursuing. The alien-possession premise turns a buddy-cop thriller into an enthusiastic tour of bad appetites. Strong chemistry and a dry sense of humour make this an accomplished cult-action choice.
