Hidden 3D

Stupid. Bad acting, very weak script. Good camera.

I was once tempted to get HIDDEN 3D on Blu-ray in order to experience the 3D excitement for myself. Something held me back, so when I saw it coming up on the Horror Channel schedules I decided to check out the 2D version instead.

Thank God I didn't waste money on the Blu, because HIDDEN 3D is a really bad film. It's no different from another trillion Z-grade movies besides, featuring as it does a band of bland, uninteresting teenagers wandering around a creepy old building and finding themselves assailed by some of the lamest CGI-faced spooks imaginable. It doesn't even have the found footage novelty of a GRAVE ENCOUNTERS going for it; this is pure bad.

It goes without saying that the acting is of the usual quality for this genre, i.e. very poor. One female wears a push-up bra in order to drag in male viewers but the effect is hardly uplifting. The CGI spooks are dull in the extreme, the script is barely noticeable, the twist ending anything but. Why a swarm of CGI bees keeps flying about the house I don't know, because scientifically this is preposterous, and even by movie logic it's complete nonsense. No, even a 3D version of this film would be just as bad; one to avoid at all costs.

Its not as bad as the reviews say it is , I am not a professional critic and don't look at the kind of things Professionals look at. I like the classic kind of scary movies that make me jump and hide behind a blanket. Now most scary movies are almost trying to be a bit too smart to claim a horror title. I think that is what is being criticized in some of these reviews, come on.... Its just a horror movie .Basically I was bored wanted to watch a scary movie and found this. It was scary, it made me jump a few times, and it had a creepy fun storyline. If a scary movie makes me jump a number of times then I like it. This scary movie did exactly its job, and its great for a rainy day.

I really think the reviews here so far are unfair. This is not a big budget Hollywood film! What it offers is an hour and a half of mindless horror fun. I think it's better than at least 3 of the Saw films and that's not saying much.

Yes it's been done before but it's been done again pretty well here. There is a bit too much snobbery on IMDb right now IMHO and the reviews of this film prove it.

Got a spare 90 minutes? Looking for a no brainer fun horror?, give it a try and if you like it add a review. And BTW I'm not in any way connected to the film, I just liked it!

Take it for what it is and enjoy it:-)

The scientist Susan Carter (Dawn Ford) is researching the rehabilitation of addicts using an experimental drug in her rehab center. After her death, her idle son Brian Carter (Sean Clement) is forced by his friend Simon (Jason Blicker) to travel to the real state that he had inherited.

Brian and Simon travel with five other friends to the spot and they find that the center is actually an ancient monastery and they have to spend the night. Sooner they are murdered, one by one, by creepy creatures that live in the place.

"Hidden 3D" is a horror movie that can be described in only one adjective: awful! The screenplay is ridiculous without any development of characters. The situation itself of a remote monastery of the Seventeenth Century uses as a rehab center is unlikely. The group intends to spend the night in an abandoned place but does not bring any facility (meal, tent, backpack, sheets, towels etc.), only themselves to be slaughtered along the night. My vote is two.

Title (Brazil): "Filhos da Escuridão" ("Sons of the Darkness")
