Review of Hidden

Hidden (I) (2015)
6/10
Where'd They Use the Bathroom?
27 November 2015
Warning: Spoilers
The plot and story held up until the last thirty minutes of the movie when the viewers are introduced to the antagonists. Without getting too far into the origins of the apocalyptic setting, we find out there is a "virus" that everyone is escaping from. Then the directors/writers/producers throw a curve ball, a cinematic Shyamalan-twist that belittles the audience's anticipation for a monster-ending. Instead, we find out the family is infected with the virus, and they turn into C.H.U.D.s (Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers{or maybe just H.U.D.s}). They have the ability to flip the mutation/virus on and off when they feel threatened.

So yeah, a bit disappointed that the "breathers" weren't giant, mutated beasts, but not entirely disappointed with the movie overall. Decent story, plot, acting up until the last 30 minutes . . . and where were they taking shits?
