'The Hidden' Is Getting a New Blu-ray

The Hidden is finally coming out on Blu in the states. Warner Archive is producing a new HD transfer of the 80s sci-fi cult classic, and I couldn't be more excited. As far as buddy cop genre movies go, The Hidden has always been one of my favorites alongside Alien Nation and I Come in Peace. This is damn good news.

Currently there is a Blu-ray disc of the film floating around from Spanish studio Llamentol, but this new release marks the first time it will be available otherwise. The Hidden is one of those awesome movies that despite having a few flaws, still holds up as entertaining and thrilling 30 years after its release.

Just about everything in The Hidden rocks. The opening car chase sequence with Chris Mulkey is awesome, and even the goofier bits with Claudia Christian are great. This is one that definitely should make it into fans' permanent collections. Here are the details and hopefully we'll get a street date soon.

Something hideous is changing law-abiding citizens into monstrous, hyperviolent psychopaths. Now, only Kyle MacLachlan (Dune, Twin Peaks) and Michael Nouri (Flashdance) can halt the terrifying rampage of The Hidden!

A series of bizarre, inexplicable robberies and murders have L.A. police detective Tom Beck (Nouri) totally baffled. And it doesn’t help when mysterious FBI agent Lloyd Gallagher (MacLachlan) tells him that a demonic extraterrestrial creature is invading the bodies of innocent victims – and transforming them into inhuman killers with an unearthly fondness for heavy-metal music, red Ferraris and unspeakable violence! This chilling, high-velocity sci-fi horrorshow that captures a long-gone and way-gone Los Angeles has emerged from the shadows to epitomize '80s cult cinema - and now it's looking show room fresh!
