A group of scientists, led by the brilliant yet eccentric Twinkie-addicted Sebastian Caine, are successfully researching invisibility. Having accomplished making animals invisible, Caine insists on being the next subject for the experiment. Unfortunately, the serum effects not only the external physical nature of the subject, but morphs the internal personality too. And that's when things start to go horribly wrong...
Having discovered they could turn animals invisible, a group of scientists test the subject on a human. Head of research, Dr. Sebastian Caine decides to use himself as the subject. After the experiment can't be reversed, it takes a toll on Caine's personality, causing him to hunt down and kill his colleagues
A while ago I caught "Hollow Man" on cable. I entered at about the point Sebastian Crane (Kevin Bacon), now invisible, infiltrated the young female intern's apartment and started to unsettle her with his pranks. Based on the portion of the movie I just saw, "Hollow Man" is an implausible, but mechanically entertaining horror schlock fest with undeniably impeccable special effects. However, I believe it is not a truly efficient, provocative, or memorable movie. Why?
Its premise, the power of invisibility, in and of itself, really ain't that great!
H.G. Wells's own classic novel "The Invisible Man" meticulously spells out the numerous disadvantages of invisibility. The invisible protagonist himself considers himself a "helpless absurdity". Unless you also make your clothes invisible, which the protagonist actually could but didn't have time to do, your naked invisible body is more vulnerable to the elements and to disease. Other disadvantages the novel points out: 1) dust, soot, and rain will reveal your outline, 2) eaten meals will outline your invisible stomach until the food is digested. 3) animals such as dogs can still hear or smell your presence. In other words, an invisible person still possesses the flaws of an ordinary human being. Furthermore, ironically, an invisible person would be more conspicuous to the public than an ordinary person. That's because, as the novel points out, invisibility grants you the power to obtain things, but not enjoy them once you get them. Sure, you can rob a bank without being seen, but you can't get away with the money without being noticed.
The above-mentioned disadvantages existed even in the novel's 19th century milieu. In modern times, invisibility is even more of a disadvantage. Motion detectors and heat-imaging sensors can detect even an invisible man's presence. Therefore, an invisible villain may get a few limited jollies at the outset, but will still be easily captured by sensible heroes.
To its credit, "Hollow Man" recognizes some of invisibility's disadvantages. However, it artificially shifts the edge to Sebastian in order to even have a movie. Yes, the heroes have heat-sensing goggles, but the lab automatically becomes uniformly warm to hide Sebastian's temperature. Out in the real world, the naked Sebastian would be easily detected and apprehended, so the movie's action must remain in the claustrophobic lab. And, as others have mentioned, invisibility does not confer invulnerability (even if adrenalin surges can partially account for Sebastian's newfound resistance to pain). Finally of course, "Idiot Plot" components further the movie along.
To conclude, invisibility has its (limited) uses and can supplement other abilities, but in its own right is not much to write home about. Why do you think Stan Lee fortified the Invisible Woman's invisibility powers with force-field projection?
I agree with the "hollow film" jokes that have been made throughout the user comments, but I've definitely seen worse movies. I had absolutely no expectations for the film, so I didn't have anything to lose. The characters here are thin, but compared to Dracula 2000 and other 0-star movies - this film makes for a fair rental. Special effects team pulls off some interesting tricks. Leave your brain at the door and watch it on a rainy day - 6 out of 10.
Ultimately the title is most revealing. It's hollow, man.
That being said, the basic premise of the movie is very similar to that of the book. A young, brilliant, but emotionally unstable scientist invent a way of becoming invisible. He tries it on an animal and then on himself, but can't become visible again (for different reasons though). Eventually this turns him crazy and evil, he suffers from delusion of grandeur and murderous rage. The protagonists have no choice but to kill him in self-defense. Certain small details are borrowed from the book, like using makeup and falling water to break invisibility (although in the book these methods are only discussed), and the fact that body becomes visible again after death. a5c7b9f00b
