==Plot== When his mother dies, Brian Carter is surprised to learn that he has inherited The Sanctuary, home to her controversial experimental addiction treatment center. Having previously believed that the building burned to the ground years ago, Brian travels there with a group of friends and meets Haley, a mysterious friend of his mother, who acts as their guide through the impressive, monastery-like building. During their tour it becomes clear that something sinister lies beneath the surface.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Thiele |first=Heiko |title=Hidden 3D - 2011 |url=https://www.filmreporter.de/kino/48550-Hidden-3D |access-date=2026-01-27 |website=www.filmreporter.de |language=de}}</ref><ref name=":4">{{Cite web |last=Gumble |first=Daniel |date=2011-10-10 |title=DVD Review: 'Hidden 3D' |url=https://cine-vue.com/2011/10/dvd-review-hidden-3d.html |access-date=2026-01-27 |website=CineVue |language=en-GB}}</ref>
Despite their misgivings, they follow a secret passageway underground and come across strange and unsettling discoveries that trigger Brian's disturbing memories of his mother's research. Ultimately, they are confronted by her terrible secret: Brian's mother built a revolutionary machine that cured people of their addictions but, as a side effect, those addictions materialized in the form of mutant children hungry for human flesh.<ref name=":4" /><ref name=":2" />
Sharing the dark bowels of the building with swarms of firefly-like creatures that they use to lure their victims into death traps,<ref name=":3" /> the mutant children begin a wild hunt, with the new visitors as their prey. Fighting to stay alive against the inconceivable, Brian and his friends soon realize that some things are better left hidden.<ref name=":4" />
