Advantages: Kevin gets his kit off!

Disadvantages: thin plot, dull cast

X-rated Disney movie, geeky scientist injects invisibility potion and goes on mad rampage. Does all those things he wanted to do but did not dare: undresses sleeping co-worker, terrifies next door neighbour, spies on ex-girlfriend and her lover. Unable to change back, he plots to kill the witnesses to his invisibility.

Most memorable are the tremendous special effects, a gorilla is made to "reform" from the injection working its way along the blood vessels to make organs, muscles and finally the skin and fur appearing. Later we watch as the scientist disappears, skin tears away, organs disolve, then finally the skeleton melts, leaving only a dent in the bed.

Shying away from the traditional chair moving/door opening plot devices to allow us to track the invisible man, water, steam and blood (yuk) outline his body as he goes about his murderous rampage.

It seems that this film was made to pander to the voyeur market. Teens (despite its 18 rating) will no doubt strip it from the shelves when the video is released.

Tasteless, plotless, gruesome and scary.
