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 another example of a lousy and uninspired 90's sequel that totally ruins the unscrupulous premise of a great 80's classic. "The Hidden" is one of the most entertaining SF thrillers I ever saw while this part two is just...crap! The high action and suspense level of the first has entirely vanished and all we get in return is annoyance and boredom. The film opens with footage of the original, added with a simplistic and repetitive excuse to make the extraterrestrial danger start again. Repetitive, because it's a dog that serves as a temporary host for the alien parasite and that trick already featured in the original. Supposedly fifteen years have gone by since then and the initial hero's daughter now teams up with an outer space nerd who's searching for naughty aliens here on earth. The main problem with this flick is that it takes itself far too serious! No slick black humor or cool gimmicks this time, while the cast wrongfully believes they're part of something fundamental or something. It's almost embarrassing to witness how hard they attempt to make a sequence in which the alien discovers the art of a toothbrush convincing. The Hidden II is a pathetic film that never should have been made. Do yourself a favor and watch the original twice in a row, instead.

The first ten minutes of this film are great ... but most people who are watching this sequel will quickly notice that it's just footage from the first film which starred Kyle MacLachlan. Kyle's character, a good alien, kills off one of the bad aliens but not before it spawns. Time passes and another good alien teams up with the daughter of the star from the first flic.What results is a film with little intrigue and no new concepts. They could have provided more insights into the alien races or maybe showcased some cooler alien powers or forms. The anticlamatic ending will leave many wondering why?2/10 -- no Kyle, no story, no suspense

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..
