Sex & Nudity

  • A sleeping woman while on duty watching an invisible man, the man creeps in and has her blouse unbuttoned by invisible hands and one of her breasts is clearly visible. Her breast is groped for some seconds until she wakes up. The scene is disturbing as soon one realizes it is not a nightmare but an explicit abuse.
  • Although we obviously can't see it, whenever a character in particular is invisible, he's thus also completely nude (and walking around that way and interacting with others). We do, however, clearly see his penis in an infrared shot of his body (that displays his body as varying degrees of heat).
  • The man confronts the woman up close and then tells her to relax and that he thought since this was his last night in invisibility that they would try another experiment (sexual connotations). He then kisses her and asks her if she wonders what it's like to make love to an invisible man. She replies that it will be like the good old days since he has never been in their relationship before. Then we see her skirt go up, but she stops it and leaves.
  • A grown man looks through a porno magazine and we see (from somewhat of a distance) a small picture showing a bare-breasted woman. Later, however, we see a larger image of a different, bare-breasted woman and the man comments that he'd squeeze her "t*ts." while playing some rock music to set up the mood.
  • The man sees the woman across the street getting undressed again (we see her in the bra). He then approaches her (unseen) and sneaks in after she opens the door to see who's there. Then we see her reflection in the mirror and as her robe opens we see her bare breasts from her robe. He plays with the mirror to see angles of her breasts. Then Sebastian rapes a woman who performs rough cunnilingus (bare breasts can be seen), after which the woman cries and reveals her bare bottom.
  • As a woman sleeps, we see the covers being slowly pulled off her bed by an invisible man (revealing her in her panties). We then see her top being undone and those panties slowly being removed (showing the side of her bare butt in the nighttime shadows) and then her legs quickly being spread (no nudity), but she then wakes up from what turns out to be a nightmare.
  • A guy (still invisible) spies on a woman (who's in her bra and jeans) in her place and then sees a man show up. She undoes her jeans, partially pulls them down (we briefly see part of her bare butt in her thong bottom), jumps up around his waist (her legs around him) and tells him that she nearly started without him. They then fall onto her bed with him on top of her, but they're interrupted before anything else happens.
  • We see the side of a woman's bare thigh while she's sitting on a toilet. We see a woman wearing a shirt and panties get out of bed; she later puts on pants, and a man who was in bed with her also gets out and puts on his pants. She suspects that it was the invisible man so she puts on her thermal goggles.
  • We see a man's bare butt as he prepares to receive the invisibility serum. Once be begins to convulse from it, we see various shots of his bare butt as he rolls around, and once all of his skin has become invisible, we briefly see his skinless, flaccid penis (along with every other part - internal and external - of his body).
  • A man commits voyeurism by watching a woman in another building take off her shirt and skirt (her bra and her thong-clad buttocks are visible) and she closes the shades as she begins taking off her bra; in another scene she does the same, only she removes her bra and her bare breasts are visible. She is also seen showering and puts on her robe.
  • We see a heat-sensor image of a nude man's front side; also, we see a man's groin area part-way through his "disappearing" process. A man drops the towel he's wearing, revealing his bare backside to the camera and his front side to two women; we also see his bare backside and chest when he's convulsing on a table during an experiment.

Violence & Gore

  • A man puts nitroglycerin in a blender that can cause a massive explosion and sets a timer. He snaps the keyboard in half making the bomb impossible determined blow up the entire underground lab and anything wreaking havoc. A man and woman climb the elevator shaft to evacuate seconds before the mixer blows up, then an explosion creates a huge wreckage to the whole lab destroying everything underground, the flames go to the shaft flinging the elevator upwards. The two survivors climbing the ladder lean to the side and a chunk of a woman's shoulder is peeled off by the speeding elevator (part of her arm is bleeding). The elevator then descends downwards, the cables snap and breaks causing debris to slide off from the walls but stops before sliding onto two broken elevator cars. The two then continue to climb but suddenly The Skinless Man grabs her and she falls onto the elevator roof causing the elevator to descend more. Then they fight and grab each other because the man grabbed them to death. The man squeezes and asks for one last kiss. The woman hugs and steps on the cord separating the elevator, sending the man falling to the flames in the bottom the shaft.
  • A man was bitten by an invisible animal that wanted to inject him with a serum (we hear his scream and see blood on his arm). An unseen gorilla runs out of the cage, setting off a chase. The man encounters another man who also joins the pursuit. She tries to knock on the door but lunges at the two men. Before he attacks her, she is given a tranquilizer; In addition, the man tries to shoot the other with a tranquilizer. A needle stuck in an animal will float down until it is knocked out. The gorilla is tied up and we watch as the red serum flows through the veins of the invisible animal, then we watch as the veins, muscles, bones, organs and skin slowly become visible again (the animal makes loud noises and punches); At some point during the process, the animal suffers a heart attack and is shocked several times with a defibrillator, after which everything is fine.
  • A man is strapped to a gurney in a boardroom testing a serum. They take the serum and put it into a needle. After the person injects the serum into his veins, a drip. Whistle, the person starts to shake twitch violently, screams when most of his skin so as most of his organs finally disappears (during the process we see the person's muscles, organs and bones and he successfully becomes invisible). In another scene where we're trying to visualize the person, we see a red serum coursing through the person's veins, then we see the person convulse as bones, organs, and muscles reappear and then disappear. In the end, he imperceptibly vomits and its a gory, painful, process put in CGI.
  • A man and a woman are left there to freeze to death. The woman escapes the medical freezer while the man plants a time bomb. She then drags the wounded man and lights the paper can to keep him warm. She then approaches the invisible man in an elevator and stops him from escaping by puffing flames to the other person with a makeshift flamethrower, setting him on fire completely (and burning much of his skin and clothes, which then he flakes the burnt clothes off). Then she blows out of the sprinkler system and sprays water. The man sneaks up behind her and throws her face first against a pole, leaving a bloody gash on her face. He then is shown stepping on her neck so she can choke to death; The other man throws the other a bit and grabs the man by the neck with the crowbar, tries to attack the man and woman but the man knocks him out with a fatal center hit in head. He's still alive and charges at them. The invisible man gets knocked and then gets electrocuted turning his water - Soaked body with burned muscles twitching.
  • Two men chase after an invisible man. The invisible man subdues, attacks and chokes a guy as his partner tries to shoot the pipes to make him visible, but he shoots the pipe, causing air to puff on his face, and he intentionally and violently throws the man overhead and his head lands on a metal ledge that goes splat! (rupturing a chunk of flesh from his carotid artery). His wounds start to accumulate and pour blood everywhere leaving a large puddle on the floor and gallon amount of blood squirting on his face. His partner continues to fight and shoots and shoots at the pipe, causing the pipe to burst and splinter on the ground, releasing a lot of heat and absorbing the surrounding area. The invisible man shuts him in and then the man tries to shoot and fight the diabolic man who's taunting and toying around with him. The man gets angry and charges at the invisible man with the fire extinguisher and puffing on it several times. The man swings the fire extinguisher, misses, the invisible man kicks and strikes him hard on his face and he's being dragged behind closed doors. The team goes in search of a dying teammate, but then finds that he's losing blood, its somehow too late and he bleeds to death.
  • A woman tries to grab blood bags for another man bleeding to death, while she's about to exit the door, the door suddenly shuts and seals locked. She realizes that the invisible man is trying to trap her in. She tears blood bags and splashes blood on the ground to find footprints, she stops then strolls but hears a voice, she is then hit and then she tears another's bag and splashes it on an invisible person to make them visible. She is grabbed and tackled on the ground the blood covered man. The invisible bloody man struggles for the gun, he turns the gun she's holding to face her chest and shoots her in the heart with the dart, knocking her unconscious. Then the man's neck twists with a loud clicking sound shortly after and wipes the blood from her shirt and face and tries to play with her face. The survivors find a trail of blood leading to a freezer and find her body covered in blood stains. A man is then fatally impaled from behind and the crowbar sticks out of his chest (he dies); Another man has his spleen cut open with a crowbar, which is then scraped out of the bloody wound and the man groans in pain. The Invisible Man seals and sets the temperature to freezing point to freeze both of them to death and leaves. The woman pulls up the injured man's shirt and the severed crowbar injures the man in the stomach. The woman feels the gape with her hand and presses it against the wound. The man clearly screams in pain and he gets knocked due to hypothermia.
  • A man traps his lab individuals within the lab, erases their get to passcode and tries to murder them. As the lab goes to rummage around for him, a lady who lost her group is all of a sudden choked to death by an invisible man with wire whereas the lab individuals are casually strolling not noticing her scream. They abruptly realize that she vanished and the group examines to discover her body in a locker with blood eyes.
  • At his home, Sebastian Caine plays with a man to prevent him from telling anyone. He cuts the wire and follows him outside then pushes the old man into the pool, strangles and holds him under water, then lifts him back up and then pushes him down until he dies and drowns while trying to yell his wife for help. The man exits the pool, wipes the drops of water off his body and walks on unnoticed (we later see a lifeless corpse floating in the pool).
  • The man releases the rat into the gorilla's cage and the invisible gorilla picks up the rat. Holds him, squeezes his body and bites his head off. Very amazing and gory. and we could see the bones of a mouse being torn apart and the teeth of an invisible gorilla dripping blood onto the ground.
  • The invisible man is annoyed by the barking of a dog, and in the thermal imager he captures a dog whining at a person and throws the dog against the inner wall of his cage (bloodstains are visible on the metal). The scene is shown with a thermal imaging camera, but is still very chaotic and unsettling.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • A group of people toast with champagne during a formal dinner.
  • One man smokes a pipe in a brief scene.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • A boardroom is shown a footage of a gorilla turning invisible in a lab. The gorilla is only halfway invisible, exposing much muscle tissue, bone, and internal organs and appears to be in great pain as it could feel it's skin reappearing as it continues to grow, he continues to be in shock until he is visible again.
  • There are several moments where animals are killed or put in painful circumstances (i.e. invisibility transformation.) Definitely upsetting for animal lovers.
  • A man begins convulsing, screaming in pain and slowing disappearing (in the same, medical dissection way as the previous gorilla - with holes first appearing in his skin, exposing tissue, organs, and muscles, etc. underneath). As his medical condition deteriorates, the team tries to save him.
  • From the point that the team realizes they're trapped in their lab and must contend with a homicidal Sebastian, the suspense and tension mount and don't let up until the end as everyone gets involved in a deadly game of invisible cat and mouse (that goes on for many minutes and involves many close calls as well as people being killed with bloody results).
  • The scene where an invisible man goes across the apartment to a pretty woman and sexually rapes her is very disturbing especially for a movie that was meant to have a bit of a comical effect but his actions are menacing and very tense.
  • The villain, struggling with his invisible nature and exhaustion, transforms into a psychopath, harassing and terrorizing female characters, and killing those aware of his experiments, leaving his lab mates trapped and brutally killed.
  • The movie is set in a depressing and dark tone for one particular character which is Sebastian Caine and his permanent ability to become invisible.
  • The last 10 minutes are suspenseful as an invisible man imprisons his colleagues in a lab with a bomb, causing chaos. Despite attempts to evacuate in an elevator shaft, the man remains alive and continues to subdue them.
  • Scenes of animal cruelty, sexual abuse/rape and serial murder are present in this film.
  • This whole film is considered to be a shocking violent sci fi tale.
  • The movie's CGI was under its time and the scenes of the transformation are quite gory and creepy in a non bloody way.
  • R18+ (Language, Sexuality and Nudity, Strong Brutal Violence )
  • Sebastian Caine's design, featuring skinless, bloody, watery, or fog-covered figures and a creepy latex mask with punctured eyes, may frighten viewers.
  • Some may be disturbed by the transformation scenes where humans and animals disappear or reappear layer by layer.

Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Sex & Nudity

  • There is several instances of sexual innuendo (in one scene, a man tells a crude sexual joke about Wonder Woman involving a nude woman, sodomy and rape) and a few kisses and all about the "asshole".
  • A woman and a grown man in a bed is seen together with her sensuously kissing down his bare chest. While she's acting aroused, he wants to talk shop and she replies, "I'm trying to make love to you." He then says, "Let me ask you another question" and she wonders if it's going to be about "who's on top" (but he doesn't respond to that query).

Violence & Gore

  • A man schedules an animal to be vivisected after being visible again. This is not shown, only implied. A female scientist complains of the man dissecting the gorilla's brain. The man replies saying that the lab is not a zoo.
  • A person is pushed into a pipe, causing a large bloody gash on the person's face and neck; a few times we see the body lying on the ground (with an extremely bloody face and neck) and we eventually see the person choke a bit before dying.
  • A man falls to his death down a fiery elevator shaft.
  • An invisible man goes to someone's apartment to spy on them. After seeing them having sex, he gets mad so he throws a rock at their window when trying to make love. In another scene, he scares two kids in a car by removing his shades exposing the two holes inside his eyes. The kids get terrified and screams.
  • An invisible man is repeatedly burned with a blowtorch running around out of the elevator on fire. His clothes and parts of his skin gets burned alive but still survives., struck over the head with a crowbar, and electrocuted. All this happens in a short span of time but near his death, we can still see his muscles and skeleton.
  • A person pours several bags of blood on a floor (we see the bloody floor a few times); also, several people have bloody hands, faces and clothing, and we see several bloody corpses as well. A person with visible bones and muscles is seen a few times.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • A woman is raped by an invisible man. The attack isn't shown beyond him grabbing her and her screaming in terror, but the sequence of him entering her apartment and stalking her immediately beforehand is drawn out and extremely tense as the viewer knows what's about to happen.
  • The Invisible Man becomes partially visible during the final scene, in which he fights basically skinless. Can be disturbing for some viewers.
  • The film intensifies as Sebastian Caine begins killing people one by one in the lab, including a man who has his neck pierced after being strangled and thrown onto a pole. The invisible man stalking the members of the lab is very scary. A woman and an injured man are locked in a freezer. Some viewers may find it difficult to watch the elevator scene due to the likelihood of the survivors falling and dying from the explosion.
  • The final half hour is particularly intense, when many characters get killed off one by one in slasher movie style.
