Story Synopsis:
Hideaway is based on a novel by best seller Dean R. Koontz. A stylishly directed and chaotic mix of thriller, mystery and super natural phenomena, Hideaway boasts an array of exhilarating special effects and pulse-pounding action. The story is about Hatch Harrison (Jeff Goldblum), a man miraculously re-vived after being officially pronounced dead following an auto accident. His brush with death leaves him with telepathic powers. After a series of horrifying visions, he discovers he is somehow linked to a deranged Satanic killer. In horrified visions Hatch witnesses the killer as he stalks a series of young women. Through his visions, Hatch is able to track down the killer to a gruesome hideaway and learns of more personal horrors—the killer has his daughter.
LaserDisc Picture:
The 2.35:1 picture is perfectly framed and the imagery is sharp and detailed. The use of psychedelic visuals is striking. Colors are vivid with natural fleshtones. Blacks are deep and shadow detail is excellent with slight noise in the darker scenes, but no artifacts.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack delivers great stereo and surround effects that are aggressively enveloping with deep bass and natural dialogue.
