***Spoilers Included*** As much as I love Christian Kane I was skeptical about watching "Hide" after reading some of the reviews. I'm glad I threw off my doubts and watched anyway. I will admit the beginning is a little slow. But make the effort to pay attention to some of the details, it'll pay off in the end. And if you stick it out past the first 5-10 minutes, like me, you should find yourself engrossed in the unfolding story and wondering how it is all going to end. Will they go out in a blaze of glory? Will they make to freedom? Or is there something else in store. The scenery in some parts is truly breathtaking. And a lot of the dialog makes one stop to contemplate the realities of life - good and evil. That is not to say the film isn't without faults, but the overall takeaway was this is a low-budget film with excellent acting and plot to make you stop and think. Hide is a dark psychological thriller with obvious throwbacks to Bonnie and Clyde and earlier Tarantino. The main character, Billy, is played by actor/country music artist Christian Kane. Honestly, I feel it showcases his acting quite well. Throughout the film, we get to see different sides of Billy. At one point I wondered was he suffering from D.I.D. or perhaps Bi-polar, in addition to the obvious sociopathic and psychopathic traits of a serial killer. CK is able to manifest these traits subtly enough to make them feel believable. Far too often low budget and even high budget Hollywood films portray these traits as over the top and exaggerated. The only thing exaggerated in Hide is perhaps the accents, particularly Rachel Miner's. If I had one complaint about the whole film it would be her accent and the incessant use of "Baby". Between the hidden tips to the plot/twist, and the time jumps between present day, recent past, and distant past of Billy's life, this is a film you must pay attention to. As a psychologic thriller, it is written to make the viewer stop and think. MAJOR SPOILER ALERT STARTING NOW You may think you know, but it really isn't what it appears. Those that have watched the 온라인카지노추천 show "Lucifer" will most likely understand the plot twist right away. Hide was produced before Lucifer, however, Lucifer was based on an old DC comic, which was based on a graphic novel by Neil Gaiman. Point being, the concept for the twist has been around. If you still don't understand the ending here's a summary: The opening scene in the diner, Betty died in the shootout. Billy was sent to prison. Seven years later he was being transferred when the prison van was struck by another vehicle. This is when Billy dies. Everything past this point, the entire rest of the movie, is Billy's time in "Hell" living his life and death over and over. His torture is doing horrible things to those he loves unable to stop himself. Throughout the movie, Billy says things that will give you hints to understanding the plot twist. He even has a conversation with a dog (hound of hell?) about the need for chains in order to keep the evil inside under control. You have to understand that he is dead and in hell to understand the ending, which is not another flashback, but a reset on his life to live over again, and again, and again. The twist is Hell is of our own design, or in this case Billy's own design. His torture is his own guilt over the way he lived his life, and now he is forced to do those horrible things over and over, except done to people he loves instead of strangers.

Loved this movie! For once I didn't see the twist coming, awesome thriller movie!

Cheap Natural Born Killers wanna be. The trailer alone was nauseatingly similar to Oliver Stone's controversial classic of a decade and a half previous. I can only imagine this was made for kids who haven't seen Natural Born Killers...

Great low budget film.

It tries to be like Bonnie & Clyde or Natural Born Killers, but it was pretty painful to watch.

The synopsis is a bit of a misnomer. The female lead is obsessed with Bonnie and Clyde but that is where it stops. The movie is more of a cross between The Butterfly Effect and Secret Window, though darker than the latter. I normally don't like horror but this was ok. It got a little gory for maybe 2 minutes total which is refreshing that it was not gross out horror. The end twist makes the whole movie and suddenly it all makes sense.

A gorgeous, wonderful flick. Rachel Miner and Christian Kane are beautiful, and beautiful together. But I'm a sucker for outlaw-lovers flicks.

So you get Natural Born Killers introduce them to the Devil's Rejects and add a little bit of Se7en in the mix just to spice things up. Kane plays his role very well and is great till the end.

"In the spirit of Bonnie & Clyde & Natural Born Killers" Where was the spirit? It seemed to start off OK but after awhile I just gave up & didnt care anymore

Cool film. 2 good performances from the leads, who got everything out of a tightly written script. No need for special effects, or anything really barring the dialogue. Whilst the twists were predictable to a degree, they were perfectly timed.... and if they didn't happen i would have been pi**sed off.

I had never heard of this film before, but I was extemely pleasantly surprised by this low-budget British thriller. Roy is bird-watching in his bird-hide, when a mysterious tattooed man called Dave turns up. They build a rapport, they share lunch and Roy eventually tells Dave about how his wife has left him for another man. However, when Dave falls asleep, a gun falls out of his pocket and Roy hears reports of a local murder over the radio..... I can't say any more about the plot as I would hate to spoil it for anyone who sees this gem of a film! However, the ending is BRILLIANT. Roy and Dave are the only characters and the movie is filmed entirely in the vicinity of the bird-hide, but rather than being boring, it all adds to the sense of claustrophobia. The cinematography and score are also top notch and make a terrific contribution to the tension in the film. Highly recommended!

A great script, originality and a sick twist. All the makings of a good thriller and vaguely reminiscent of Hitchcock's works.

This film copies Bonnie and Clyde as well as Badlands a bit too much. It lacks that original spark. The cast does well, but the characters are unappealing and one dimensional. Good score.

A subtly sharp British thriller almost entirely dialogue driven, but to great effect. Set to the backdrop of sombre Suffolk wetlands, the events of the film take place exclusively in and around a ramshackled bird hide, occupied by a reclusive ornithologist. Before long we are introduced to the second character, a wayward man with a menacing demeanour, seemingly out of place in the barren marsh, who takes shelter from the weather in the bird hide. Despite an admittedly slow start, it doesn't take long for the interactions between the two leads to become genuinely compelling, and rather than being hindered by the small scale and evidently low budget, these factors only serve to add to the atmosphere and slowly building claustrophobic tension between the characters as they converse. For two relative unknowns, the performances are remarkable. This premise wouldn't have worked any other way. Macqueen’s socially awkward portrayal of the middle-class recluse contrasts perfectly with Campbell’s common man. Often invasive at first, Macqueen will nervously deflect Campbell’s subtle intimidations and crude remarks by breaking eye contact and shuffling around, changing the subject, or occasionally go into a ramble about his myriad of “hobbies”. Although as the film proceeds and the men open up to one another, these exchanges evolve, the mood between the two constantly shifting, adding to the ever-present awareness that there is something sinister underlying all this. A mixture of a clever dialogue and plot, atmospheric tension and a surprisingly dark twist ending that although you may vaguely see coming, can still thoroughly appreciate in its execution, make this film well worth its modest runtime. As Marek Losey’s directorial debut, I’ll be keeping an eye out for his next feature. I’m eager to see what this man can achieve with less in the way of financial constraints.

"You cannot hide from personal demons." Hide, was undoubtably entertaining. Rachel Miner and Alex Sarian were the most believable duo since Christian Slater/Patricia Arquette "True Romance" and Ned Batty/Faye Dunaway "Bonnie & Clyde". A sleeper B-Action, film.

Excellent acting from both Christian Kane and Rachel Miner. I don't generally like movies that jump like this, but the initial confusion was worth it for the ending.

Alll I can say is .... BAD

Had potential, but ended up missing the mark, by far. The director tries to be Quentin Tarantino in the witty dialogue, but it just comes off lame. He also tries to remake Natural Born Killers (which Tarantino wrote) but, even though NBK was hardly a masterpiece, this doesn't come close. Even when the writer and director try to be original, with the ending, it was contrived and made no sense with regard to the rest of the plot. Avoid.
