Hidden (2015)
Hidden (2015) is a psychological horror-thriller film directed by Matt and Ross Duffer, the creators of Stranger Things. The movie stars Alexander Skarsgård, Andrea Riseborough, and Emily Alyn Lind.
The story follows a family of three—Ray, his wife Claire, and their daughter Zoe—who have been living in an underground fallout shelter for over 300 days. They have been hiding from mysterious, deadly creatures referred to as “Breathers,” who roam the desolate world above. The family survives by following strict rules, keeping quiet, and staying out of sight to avoid detection.
As the film progresses, their fragile existence is threatened when an accident inadvertently reveals their location. The suspense builds as the family faces not only the looming threat of the Breathers but also their own fears and tensions within the confined space.
The movie takes a twisty turn toward the end, revealing the true nature of the Breathers and the family’s connection to them. This revelation subverts the audience’s expectations, adding depth to the film’s exploration of survival, identity, and the consequences of fear.
Hidden is praised for its tightly woven narrative, strong performances, and a sense of claustrophobic dread. It blends emotional family drama with post-apocalyptic horror, making it a hidden gem for fans of the genre.
