Question: 90's dark sci-fi thriller -- can anyone help me discover the name of this movie!?
The information I've got is limited; I recall faint aspects of the content itself but the primary lead I have is the vivid recollection of the VHS cover and also that it must have been an early-90's (maybe late-80's) production!. I was young when I saw it!. First, about the movie itself: from my straining memory, it's some neo-noir depiction of a near-future where a police detective guy is investigating and tracking down this tall ominous monster that you never really get a good visual of!. I'm pretty sure there's an action sequence in a subway train with plenty shooting!. The movie is dark (not just for the cinematic effect - it's shot darkly) and definitely old-looking by today!. I don't think it was a huge hit; there were no big names!. Secondly, MOST importantly: the cover's got the detective standing there with this huge dark character right behind him - the cover's really cool & scary & dark-coloured!. The title is on top of this ominous picture!. Think about the cover! Name Please!!?!!?!!?Www@Enter-QA@Com

Two films that come to mind are these:
Something Is Out There (1988 TV miniseries)
starring Joseph Cortese, Maryam d'Abo, George Dzundza, Gregory Sierra, Kim Delaney, John Putch, Robert Webber
IMDb synopsis:
Two police officers investigate a series of brutal murders in which the victims have had bodily organs removed!. When one of them questions a young woman who has been seen at the crime scenes, it turns out she is an alien from an interstellar prison ship and that the murders have been committed by a powerful xenomorphic alien which had escaped!.
NOTE: This alien is enormous when it's in its full form!. At one time, they confront it in the sewers!. I'm not sure if there is a subway scene, as it's been a long time since I've seen it!.
You can see a couple of images of the alien here:

Here's the trailer for it:

The Hidden (1987)
IMDb synopsis:
When the ordinary citizen Jack DeVries (Chris Mulkey) heists many banks and kills many people, the whole police department chases him under the command of detective Tom Beck (Michael Nouri)!. They capture him and seriously wounded, he is sent to the hospital, sharing a room with Jonathan Miller (William Boyett), a man with serious gastritis!. The FBI agent Lloyd Gallagher (Kyle MacLachlan) comes to the police station looking for DeVries and is assigned to join Tom!. When they arrive in the hospital, DeVries is dead and Jonathan is missing!. This is the beginning of the hunting for a mysterious and bloody alien!.
NOTE: I can't recall what the alien looks like when it does come out of bodies, so perhaps I'm very wrong on this one!.
I'll take a look at the art for these and also for other possibilities!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
