Next is the 1987 cult classic The Hidden. This was Kyle MacLachlan's third film after Dune and Blue Velvet, and easily one of the most suitable for him. Here he plays an alien who comes to Earth to track an alien killer, so he takes on the form of a human FBI agent and with the help of an L.A. cop (Michael Nouri) track down this alien killer.
It really is one of the best examples of this kind of film. Directed with pizzazz by Nightmare on Elm St. Part 2 director Jack Sholder, and starring a plethora of killer character actors like Danny Trejo and Claudia Christian (she never looked better), this literally has everything you could want in a low-budget sci-fi action film. It's top notch entertainment done with such a professional's touch that I'm shocked it never made it into theaters. While we've surprisingly gotten some pretty sweet releases of this on VHS & Laserdisc (both in widescreen), and a single DVD release, a blu ray is a damn welcome surprise and I'm stoked to see a vastly superior cleaned-up version in the near future. No word on a street date yet, but hopefully it's not too far away. Stay tuned for more details.
