Plot summary

A murderous creature from outer space arrives on Earth and begins to inhabit human bodies as hosts. The creature seems driven to only do two things, drive fast exotic cars at reckless speeds and listening to loud heavy metal music, which leads to a confrontation with the police. The police are baffled when the suspect will not fall after being shot several times. In the process it uses up the body leaving a corpse, and eventually moves on to its next victim while incarcerated at the hospital after the shoot out with the police. This creature commits a series of murders in Los Angeles while jumping from body to body, leaving the police department perplexed. Arriving on the scene is FBI agent Lloyd Gallagher (MacLachlan), who is actually an alien that was sent to Earth to recapture the parasitic murderer.

Remake

As of February 2006 a remake of The Hidden is currently in the works called The Seed.
