First you introduce me to the wonder that is Subspecies, and now a doofy alien Kyle Maclauglin? Lupa you are a beautiful person and the world doesn’t deserve you!
I watched both The Hidden movies when I was 14. Renting them one after the other, as I liked the first one and thought the sequel would be good too. What surprised me watching your review was realizing how much of the details of the second I'd forgotten. It's just a gloomy blur that doesn't really seem to go anywhere or build up to a climax. The creature jumps from body to body and it doesn't seem to matter who its victims were. I think this actually shows up how much more clever and well-structured the original film was. Each body the creature took and each rampage it went on felt like a distinct event in itself that also raised the stakes of the game. More importantly by the end it turned out what the creature's goal truly was when it announced it wanted to be president. It became a crunch time moment. A climax. Something memorable. This sequel just copies the basic premise without a clue and as a result is far more aimless and forgettable.
Until now I didn't know there was a sequel and I may have been better for it. No ridiculous Porsche / Ferrari car chases like the original? I bet there weren't even any Concrete Blonde songs on the soundtrack. This hurts my soul.
The real problem with the sequel, compared to the original is that the alien swapping from body to body really is just random and never goes anywhere. In the original, each new body had a distinct character of its own and changed the stakes considerably. In the end we find out the alien's goal is the presidency and that's why the climax works as it does. The sequel frankly is just a mindless blur that goes round in circles until the hero gets lucky. As Alison says, it just feels like a dorky wannabe of the original.
As this video showed back up in my feed overnight January 27, 2018, I just had to go back and check that someone did, in fact, just upload a video about Kyle McLachlan 15 minutes ago. He was on The Late Show with Colbert apparently. What in the hell actually is I don't even.

The names you chose for the two alien races are FANTASTIC. I can't stop laughing.
My favorite part of this movie is where you reviewed it and put 'iddlydoos" at the end of all the words.

I gotta watch this movie. Better late than never!
It was an entertaining video thumbs up
I watched this movie years ago and I could swear that Corin Nemec played the alien guy. Well, they both are worthy of this movie.
Tom Selleck has such a powerful singing voice that would put Rob Halford to shame.

Orange Lantern reference!
Yer the funniest... thanks for the laughs.
Note the red curtains visible in The Hidden. Hmm red curtains and Kyle McLachlan, wonder where that idea went.
“Say that you’re a space cop…”
Then you should be portrayed by Rich Evans!
"Orange lantern"
You kinda remind me of Marilu Henner

Good review, it's a pity that on your channel there is no review of "The Hidden" 1987
Maybe McDorklin’s also sad because he never got a chance to meet Batman
McDorklin: This planet is very beautiful
Me: Just wait till 2552 and The Covenant attacks Earth or, in Halo 2 and Halo 3's cases, just New Mombasa
Always here for baby Kyle MacLachlan
No My Science Project jokes? Or Vision Quest? Raphael Sabarge was in other shit lol
I thought "I do not care for spoilers. I expect the alien to get blown up at the end." Right before she told it. :D
Love Kate Hodge . Hidden 2 was ok
wasn't this also a Outer Limits episode?
Why is there a deleted video in the playlist.
@13:37, ahh, you said it!
7:24 Texas Chainsaw 3!
I don't care what anyone says, Jason Goes to Hell is the worst Hidden sequel of 1993.
Doctor Hopper from Once Upon a Time?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your arse was in this movie?
Well done...this movie was utter shit. The original is fantastic
