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 bomb reaches 0 and explodes destroying an underground lab.
  • 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 woman and a man are trapped in the freezer to die, we see a tear running down a woman's cheek and it turns to ice.
  • A woman burns a man with a makeshift blowtorch (we see skin and his clothes burning).
  • A man slams a woman onto a metal pole (we see a cut on her forehead).
  • A man tackles a woman to the ground and steps on her neck trying to suffocate her.
  • A man grabs a woman from an access ladder sending both of them to drop on an broken elevator car, the woman disconnects it sending him down ablaze.
  • A man drives a crowbar to a man's back impaling him, and rips it out, (blood pours from his chest).
  • A man stabs another man in the abdomen with a crowbar and a woman scrapes the crowbar out, we see a bloody gash on his abdomen.
  • An elevator is flung upwards, we see it make its way to two people climbing an access ladder, the elevator scrapes a piece of flesh off a woman's shoulder.
  • 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 splashes blood bags on the ground to detect the invisible man.
  • A man attacks a woman and garrotes her with an IV tube, he then hides her corpse in a locker, her team discover her and we see her bloody eyes.
  • A man strangles a man and drowns him under water, we see the man struggling and screaming.
  • 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.
  • A man throws a dog against the walls of his cage (blood is shown on a thermal cam).

Profanity

  • 49 uses of the "f" word (used three times sexually and twice with "mother"), 22 "s" words 1 slang term using male genitals ("d*ck"), 1 slang term for female genitals ("p*ssy") 1 slang term for breasts ("t*ts")6 asses (4 used with "hole") 6 hells 3 damns 1 S.O.B14 uses of "G-damn,"6 of "Oh my God,"4 of "Oh God,"2 of "Jesus"1 use each of "Christ," 1 use of "For Christ's sakes,"1 use of "God,"1 use of "Jesus Christ,", 1 use of "Oh Jesus" and "God forsaken" as exclamations.

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.
