Duffer Brothers’ Psychological Thriller Film HIDDEN: Know More Here
Before their hit show “Stranger Things,” the Duffer Brothers made the less well-known but just as engaging psychological horror movie “Hidden.”
This movie came out in 2015 and has a mix of drama, horror, and tension that has become a trademark of the brothers’ storytelling skills.
Storyline
“Hidden” is about a family trying to stay alive in a world after the end of the world. The family is hiding in a fallout bunker to avoid a pandemic. They have to deal with the challenges of their new life while also being afraid of what the future holds.
Lead Cast Members
Few actors, but they all do great work in the movie. Alexander Skarsgård plays Ray, Andrea Riseborough plays Claire, and Emily Alyn Lind plays their daughter Zoe.
In their performances, they bring to life the deep emotional and mental journey of a family on the verge of losing everything.

The Duffer Brothers’ Dream
Together, Matt and Ross Duffer, known as the Duffer Brothers, wrote and directed “Hidden.” Their plan for the movie was to make a small space that tests family ties and the will to survive. This movie set the stage for the ideas explored in “Stranger Things.”
Critics’ Reviews
Even though “Hidden” didn’t get as much praise as their Netflix show, it has been praised for its brilliant writing and strong performances by its lead actors. According to IMDb, the movie has a 6.4 rating, which means that most people who have seen it have liked it.
The show “Hidden” deals with love, suffering, and staying alive, a lot like “Stranger Things.” As with the Duffers’ other work, the movie is about a family, which is something that fans have come to enjoy.

The movie is filled with tension and fear because the family has to stay quiet so as not to attract the notice of the “Breathers,” a word Zoe made up for the zombies that now live in the world.

Conclusion
“Hidden” shows how well the Duffer Brothers can tell a story in a single scene. Even though it’s not as well known as “Stranger Things,” this movie has a fantastic story that will stay with people long after the credits roll.
