Space Alien Action: The Hidden
A detective movie starting Kyle MacLachlan and featuring body-jumping space alien? Yes please! This movie is full of weirdness, cameos, and chase scenes. (It's also a movie we love, as evidenced here.)
The plot unfolds something like this: A string of normal every day people are suddenly committing crimes with no apparent motivation. The only thing that connects them to one another are their brief proximity to one another at some point after each crime is committed. The only person who seems to think this is a connection worth following is FBI Special Agent Lloyd Gallagher. He's on the case and won't rest until he gets to the bottom of this strange case.
FBI Special Agent Kyle MacLachlan: This movie predates Twin Peaks by a few years, but in both this movie and Twin Peaks, MacLachlan's character is an FBI Special Agent.
The chases: This movie is basically one long chase scene, in a really good way! Each time Agent Gallagher gets close to the alien, it's switches bodies and gives him the slip and a new chase begins!
The fun people who pop up in this film: Lin Shaye, Danny Trejo, Ed O'Ross, Clu Gulager, Chris Mulkey, Claudia Christian, and so many more!
Fun people who worked behind the scenes: Katherine Kean worked as an animator on this film, and on films like Conan the Barbarian, The Thing, The Fly II, and unfortunately, Fear No Evil. The cinematographer, Jacques Haitkin, also shot A Nightmare on Elm Street, Bloodsport 2, Scanner Cop, The Ambulance, My Demon Lover and many more b-movie gems.
But did we like it: This movie is pretty fast paced, action packed, weird at most turns, has a fun soundtrack, and is dripping in 80s aesthetic; it's a fun watch for anyone who likes any of those elements!
