Synopsis:

Hider in the House is a well-made and produced but ultimately unsatisfying and formulaic slasher thriller. Tom (Gary Busey) was an abused child who learned to avoid the abuse by hiding under sinks, in closets or anywhere he could be out of sight. After spending 10 years in a mental institution for setting a fire that killed his parents, Tom is released and finds a newly built house where he makes his home in the attic. The house is bought by Julie (Mimi Rogers) and Phil Dryer (Michael McKean) and their children. Tom begins to feel that he is part of the family, but when Phil is unfaithful to Julie, Tom plots his revenge. Busey is compelling in his role and builds Tom's character with skill to show him as both a dangerous and sympathetic psychopath.

This gripping psychological thriller stars Gary Busey, Mimi Rogers, and Michael McKean. When the Dryers move into their new house in the suburbs it seems as if all their dreams have come true.... But dreams soon turn into nightmares as behind the strange noises and unexplained disappearances lurks the ultimate secret fear..... a psychopathic hider in the house.

A man institutionalised after murdering his parents as a child, is released and tries to find a normal life. He moves into an attic and builds himself a secret room. Unfortunately another family buy the house...
