The Hidden II


The Hidden II is the 1993 direct-to-video sequel to the 1987 film The Hidden.

Plot

The alien criminal from the first movie is dead, but he left a few eggs which are hatching now. It is explained that on the alien's homeworld, evolution took two parallel paths: half of their race became violent criminals who live only for pleasure, and the other half evolved beyond their base desires and even physical bodies, becoming creatures of pure energy. The good alien, who still inhabits Tom Beck's 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, now a cop herself, have deteriorated. But when the killing starts again, both will need to work together - and with a new alien policeman, who comes to Earth to aid in the struggle - to stop the new generation of aliens.

Release

The film was released direct to video in the United States by New Line Home Video in July 1994, though in Japan, it was released in September 1993, 10 months ahead of its U.S. release.
In 2005, New Line Home Entertainment released the film on DVD on a double feature release alongside the original The Hidden.
