"HOLLOW MAN is a movie directed by Paul Verhoeven in 2000. The picture earned a nomination in the Best Special Effects category of the 2001 Academy Awards.
Kevin Bacon and his team have finally discovered the secret of invisibility. Kevin decides to carry out the experiment with himself but his colleagues are unable to make him visible again after the three days tests period. Kevin becomes completely mad as his new status allows him to live his most secret fantasies."
Daniel Staebler, Resident Scholar
"Scientists find a way to make humans be invisible, but when one of them decides to test it on himself, they can't make him visible again. He gets angry and blames them, so he uses his 'gift' as he calls it for evil to seek revenge on the others."
Diane, Resident Scholar
"A twist to the standard Invisible Man story focusing more on the mental toll this would have on a person. Intersting premise which unforturately turns in to a "Die Hard" thriller at the end. "
Stephen Charles, Resident Scholar
