Jason L Horror that isn't horror. Horror that's really a fable. Horror that's centered around child protagonists Horror that humans are worse than any monster. Boring, slow, too dark to see anything. Just long enough for viewers to completely rewrite a better story in their heads before the film is over. This new brand of horror needs to be silo'd and forgotten.

ineedsales Seriously, just because an idea is good, it doesn't make the movie itself good. The idea they had is an interesting twist to an apocalypse movie, but they put little or no effort into making a good movie using that idea. I hope someone does copy the idea and make a good movie. This one just isn't.

jedijosh-1 So I am really starting to dislike these movies that are so poorly lit, it's difficult to see what's happening on the screen. Unfortunately this movie is full of scenery so dark it makes me want to adjust the brightness of my TV, which I know doesn't need adjustment based on the day time scenes. As far as the twist goes, I've pretty much guessed that based on the "we're different"speech mommy gave. It reminded me of a similar bit of dialogue from the movie "the others" which had a similar twist. To be honest the movie isn't bad, I got it as part of a multipack of horror movies, but I'll probably only watch this the one time and eventually forgot I even own it.

jtindahouse I wanted to like 'Hidden', I really did. I couldn't help but find myself comparing it to '10 Cloverfield Lane', one of the best movies of 2016, and ultimately finding it inferior in almost every way. The biggest problem was the characters. I couldn't care about any of them. I understand they were in a dire situation, but they were still shown to have almost zero personality. Having them give a well written speech about "miracles" and "appreciating what you have" is pointless if the rest of the time is them being miserable and depressed. Then you consider the fact that they're ultimately being incredibly selfish, and you have yourself a very weak part of the movie.The second problem lies in the pacing. At only 83 minutes it's a very film, and yet it feels a lot longer than that. There is no more sure sign of a fine film than when the time seems to have flown by. Conversely however, there is no more sure sign of a poor film than when time seems to be crawling along and you are constantly checking your watch. This was the latter. The early scenes in the shelter are painfully slow, and by the time the action kicks in it's impossible to care enough for it to be interesting.There is some good acting and a so-so twist that boost it up a few points, but ultimately there's not a lot here. Watch '10 Cloverfield Lane' instead, if you haven't already.
